Abstract: For characteristic functions of spheres, an asymptotics for the complexity of their implementation by circuits of functional elements in the basis $\{\&,\vee,-\}$ is established; the characteristic function of a sphere with the center at the vertex $\tilde\sigma=(\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n)$, $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n\in\{0,1\}$, is the Boolean function equal to one on all those and only those sets of values of variables each of which differs from the vertex $\tilde\sigma$ only in one digit.

Key words: Boolean function, circuit, complexity of a function.
