    The author considers certain decompositions of a Boolean function \(f\) in \(n\) variables into a given number \(s\) of partial functions, each of which agrees with \(f\) on some subset of a given size \(d\) of the \(n\)-cube. Conditions for the existence of such decompositions, as well as bounds for the various parameters involved, are presented. The circuit complexity of the function \(f\), measured over the basis of all two-place Boolean functions, plays a central role in these bounds.
