Abstract:
Random Boolean networks are considered. It is shown that when using a certain class of distributions on the set of Boolean functions to construct the network, the expectation of the average sensitivity is equal to the order parameter proposed by James Lynch. This turns out to be a special case of a result about the expectation of the l-sensitivity of random Boolean functions.
