    The authors develop a method of evaluation of characteristic polynomials of Boolean functions with applications to combinational circuit verification. The values of these polynomials are compared at a sample point without explicit construction. An analysis of round-off errors in floating point arithmetic is provided, including randomized algorithms [see \textit{J. T. Schwartz}, J. ACM 27, 701-717 (1980; Zbl 0452.68050)].
