Abstract

A two-dimensional threshold function of $k$-valued logic can be viewed as a coloring of the points of a $k\times k$ square lattice into two colors such that there exists a straight line separating points of different colors. For the number of such functions only asymptotic bounds are known. We give an exact formula for the number of two-dimensional threshold functions and derive more accurate asymptotics.
