§5.4: Degree-1 weight

In this section we prove two theorems about the degree-$1$ Fourier weight of boolean functions: \[ \mathbf{W}^{1}[f] = \sum_{i=1}^n \widehat{f}(i)^2. \]

§2.3: Total influence

A very important quantity in the analysis of a boolean function is the sum of its influences.

Definition 26 The total influence of $f : \{-1,1\}^n \to {\mathbb R}$ is defined to be \[ \mathbf{I}[f] = \sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{Inf}_i[f]. \]
