    Incremental polynomial time dualization of quadratic functions and a subclass of degree-k functions
    (Springer, 2011-08) Karaşan, O. E.
    We consider the problem of dualizing a Boolean function f represented by a DNF. In its most general form, this problem is commonly believed not to be solvable by a quasi-polynomial total time algorithm.We show that if the input DNF is quadratic or is a special degree-k DNF, then dualization turns out to be equivalent to hypergraph dualization in hypergraphs of bounded degree and hence it can be achieved in incremental polynomial time.
