The Zhegalkin Polynomial of Multiseat Sole Sufficient Operator by Leonid Y. Bystrov, Egor V. Kuzmin

“…The value of it allows one to determine the self-duality of a Boolean function. It is proved that the preserving 0 and 1 or preserving neither 0 nor 1 Boolean function is self-dual if and only if the dual remainder of its corresponding Zhegalkin polynomial is equal to 0 for any sets of function variable values. …”
