Problem statement
Let be a natural number. A Boolean function on variables is a function . For and , let denote the element of obtained from by flipping all bits whose indices lie in . The local sensitivity of at , denoted , is the number of indices such that . The sensitivity of , denoted , is the maximum of over all . A collection of nonempty subsets of is called a valid block configuration for at if the sets in are pairwise disjoint and for every . The local block sensitivity of at , denoted , is the maximum cardinality of a valid block configuration for at . The block sensitivity of , denoted , is the maximum of over all . Does hold for every Boolean function on variables?
