Abstract:
We prove that, for $n$ equal to $3$, $5$, and a power of $2$,
every minimal partition of the edge set of the $n$-dimensional cube is perfect.
As a consequence, we obtain some description of the classes of all minimal parallel-serial contact schemes
($\pi$-schemes) realizing the linear Boolean functions that depend essentially on $n$ variables
for the corresponding values of $n$. Bibliogr. 16.
Keywords:Boolean function, $\pi$-scheme, regular partition of the edge set of the $n$-dimensional cube, lower complexity bound.
