Spectral analysis of some independences on multiple-valued logical functions on their variables

There are many kinds of special relationships between multiple-valued logical functions and their variables, and they are difficult to be judged from their expressions. In this paper, some sufficient and necessary conditions of the independence and statistical independence of multiple-valued logical functions on their variables are given. Some conditions of algebraic independence of multiple-valued logical functions on some of their variables and the way to degenerate a function to the greatest extent are proposed, and some applications of these results are indicated. All the results are studied by using Chrestenson spectral techniques.
