Median Based Calculus for Lattice Polynomials and Monotone Boolean Functions
In this document, we consider a median-based calculus for efficiently representing polynomial functions over distributive lattices. We extend an equational specification of median forms from the domain of Boolean functions to the domain of lattice polynomials. We show that it is sound and complete, and we illustrate its usefulness when simplifying median formulasalgebraically. Furthermore, we propose a definition of median normal forms (MNF), that are thought of as minimal median formulas with respect to a structural ordering of expressions. We also investigate related complexity issues and show that the problem of deciding whether a formula is in MNF is in ΣP2. Moreover, we explore polynomial approximations of solutions to this problem through a sound term rewriting system extracted from the proposed equational specification.
