Boolean functions

[N. J. A. Sloane]

Gordon Royle was asking about certain definitions

I have always followed the terminilogy in Harrison's book on
"Introduction to Switching and Automata Theory"

A classical B.f. is a map from {0,1}^n to {0,1},
but these were generalized to maps from {0,1}^n to {0,1}^m

An invertible Bf necessarily has m = n

I just now edited the following to make at least
one of these sequences clearer:
