Self-Predicting Boolean Functions
Abstract
A Boolean function $g$ is said to be an optimal predictor for another Boolean function $f$, if it minimizes the probability that $f(X^{n})\neq g(Y^{n})$ among all functions, where $X^{n}$ is uniform over the Hamming cube and $Y^{n}$ is obtained from $X^{n}$ by independently flipping each coordinate with probability $\delta$. This paper is about self-predicting functions, which are those that coincide with their optimal predictor.
