history

I thought this started with Shannon's theorem that a random Boolean function on n variables takes O(2^n) gates. 66.127.54.226 (talk) 18:14, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You mean

\Omega (2^{n}/n)

, I suppose.—Emil J. 15:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Size of unbounded-fan-in circuits

The size of circuits with unbounded fan-in is defined as the number of wires, not number of gates. See e. g. Reischuk, Karl Rüdiger (1990). Einführung in die Komplexitätstheorie.
