Find the binary input function given the outputs (part 2)












0












$begingroup$


Here we have three binary variables $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$ $in {0,1}$.

I want to find the form of the function $f(x_1, x_2, x_3)$ such that the following are satisfied:



if $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 0 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 6$

if $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 1 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 4$

if $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 0 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 5$

if $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 1 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 2$

if $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 0 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 5$

if $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 1 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 3$

if $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 0 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 4$

if $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 1 $ then $ f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 0$



I imagine it like having a "virtual sum" which starts at 1 and it is increased by 1 at each step in the sequence. Every time I see a zero, this virtual sum "becomes real" and is reset. For instance:





  • $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 0 $ After seeing the first one the virtual sum is 2. After the second one the virtual sum is 3. Finally there is a zero, so the virtual sum becomes 4, "becomes real" and is reset. The final result is 4.


  • $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 0 $ After seeing the first zero the sum is 2 and the virtual sum is reset to 1. After the second one the virtual sum is 2. Finally there is a zero, so the virtual sum is incremented at 3 and "becomes real". The final result is 2 + 3 = 5.


  • $ x_1 = 1, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 1 $ We have three ones, so the virtual sum is 4 at the end of the sequence. However, since there are no zeroes it does not "become real" and the result is 0.


  • $ x_1 = 0, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 0 $ We have three zeroes, so we get 2 at each step and the sum is 6.


I had already asked a similar question (Find the binary input function given the outputs), which was (brilliantly) solved. This is a generalisation in which the "virtual sum" starts from one rather then zero and that, with respect to the previous question, inverts the binary value of the variables $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$.

            Oooh! I got the point. So it is enough to hardcode the output sequence I want and then simplify the expression. Wow, did not come into my mind! Also I can easily generalise at 4, 5 variables and search for a pattern. Thank you @Wuestenfux, really helpful!

            Oooh! I got the point. So it is enough to hardcode the output sequence I want and then simplify the expression. Wow, did not come into my mind! Also I can easily generalise at 4, 5 variables and search for a pattern. Thank you @Wuestenfux, really helpful!

            Is the complete formula $f(x_1,x_2,x_3) = 6(1-x_1)(1-x_2)(1-x_3) + 4(1-x_1)(1-x_2)x_3 + 2(1-x_1)x_2x_3$? Because it doesn't work for many inputs. Try (0,1,0) for example.

            No I guess you got the idea. You need to complete it.
