Let S i be the number of nodes in the BP which queries a bit from x i ( x i is a 2log m bit input). The number of different branching programs on S i nodes is at most 2 3 S i log S i ED 4 ( 1 , ∗ , 3 , 4 ) �≡ ED 4 ( 1 , ∗ , 2 , 3 ) .

ED m : { 0 , 1 } n = m 2log m → { 0 , 1 } m inputs x 1 ,..., x m each representing a number in [ m 2 ] f ( x 1 ,..., x m ) = 1 iff no two x i , x j are equal Let U 0 1 , U 1 1 ,..., U 0 m / 2 × 2log m , U 1 m / 2 × 2log m and V 0 1 , V 1 1 ,..., V 0 m / 2 × 2log m , V 1 m / 2 × 2log m be a bitwise assignment for ED m . � � U b For 1 ≤ i ≤ m / 2 let d i = dim span j j is a bit of x i , b ∈{ 0 , 1 } m / 2 n 2 We will show that d i = Ω( n / log n ) , thus d = ∑ i = 1 d i = Ω( 2log n ) . as the subspace constituting the left are disjoint. Let ρ : { 0 , 1 } n = m 2log m → { 0 , 1 , ∗} be a restriction that fixes all the bit except the 2log m bits representing x i . Also ED m | ρ is not a constant function.
