Abstract

The question of whether it is easier to solve two communication problems together than separately is related to the complexity of the composition of Boolean functions. Based on this relationship, an approach to separating NC1 from P is outlined. Furthermore, it is shown that the approach provides a new proof of the separation of monotone NC1 from monotone P.
