A composition theorem for decision tree complexity

Abstract

We completely characterise the complexity in the decision tree model of computing composite relations of the form h = g(f1,...,fn), where each relation fi is boolean-valued. Immediate corollaries include a direct sum theorem for decision tree complexity and a tight characterisation of the decision tree complexity of iterated boolean functions.
