Local Maxima of Quadratic Boolean Functions
Part of:
Graph theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2015
Abstract
How many strict local maxima can a real quadratic function on {0, 1}n have? Holzman conjectured a maximum of 
$\binom{n }{ \lfloor n/2 \rfloor}$ . The aim of this paper is to prove this conjecture. Our approach is via a generalization of Sperner's theorem that may be of independent interest.
