Abstract
The fundamental structures and properties of spectral transforms and the resulting spectra of Boolean functions is presented here. We restrict ourselves to the mathematical foundations necessary for the development and understanding of the techniques introduced in later chapters. Those wishing a more in-depth and rigorous mathematical treatment of the subject should consult the literature [1, 5, 97, 90, 92]. Matrix based computation of the spectra is considered as are “fast” transform techniques derived from the matrix structures. Alternative spectral computation methods, in particular those based on DDs, are discussed in Chapter 5
