Characterization of rankings generated by pseudo-Boolean functions

In this paper we pursue the study of pseudo-Boolean functions as ranking generators. The objective of the work is to find new insights between the relation of the degree of a pseudo-Boolean function and the rankings that can be generated by these insights. Based on a characterization theorem for pse...

The objective of the work is to find new insights between the relation of the degree of a pseudo-Boolean function and the rankings that can be generated by these insights. Based on a characterization theorem for pseudo-Boolean functions of degree , several observations are made. First, we verify that pseudo-Boolean functions of degree , where is the search space dimension, cannot generate all the possible rankings of the solutions. Secondly, the sufficient condition for a ranking to be generated by a pseudo-Boolean function of dimension is presented, and also the necessary condition is conjectured.
