Sensitivity Conjecture


The sensitivity conjecture is the assertion that the block sensitivity of every Boolean function f:{0,1}^n->{0,1} is bounded by a fixed polynomial in its Boolean function sensitivity, independently of the number of input variables. Huang (2019, Theorem 1.5) proved the conjecture by establishing

 bs(f)<=s(f)^4,

where s(f) and bs(f) denote Boolean function sensitivity and block sensitivity.
