Abstract: The operation of Minkowski addition of geometric figures has a discrete analog, addition of subsets of a Boolean cube viewed as a vector space over the two-element field. Subsets of the Boolean cube (or multivariable Boolean functions) form a monoid with respect to this operation. This monoid is of interest in classical discrete analysis as well as in a number of problems related to information theory. We consider several complexity aspects of this monoid, namely structural, algorithmic, and algebraic.

Keywords: Minkowski addition, Boolean cube, monoid, generating elements, primitive elements, sequence of multiples.
