We show that circuit lower bound proofs based on the method of random restrictions yield non-trivial compression algorithms for "easy" Boolean functions from the corresponding circuit classes. The compression problem is defined as follows: given the truth table of an n-variate Boolean function f computable by some unknown small circuit from a known class of circuits, find in deterministic time poly(2 n ) a circuit C (no restriction on the type of C) computing f so that the size of C is less than the trivial circuit size 2 n /n. We get nontrivial compression for functions computable by AC 0 circuits, (de Morgan) formulas, and (read-once) branching programs of the size for which the lower bounds for the corresponding circuit class are known. These compression algorithms rely on the structural characterizations of "easy" functions, which are useful both for proving circuit lower bounds and for designing "meta-algorithms" (such as Circuit-SAT). For (de Morgan) formulas, such structural characterization is provided by the "shrinkage under random restrictions" results 52, 21, strengthened to the "high-probability" version by 48, 26, 33. We give a new, simple proof of the "high-probability" version of the shrinkage result for (de Morgan) formulas, with improved parameters. We use this shrinkage result to get both compression and #SAT algorithms for (de Morgan) formulas of size about n 2 . We also use this shrinkage result to get an alternative proof of the recent result by Komargodski and Raz 33 of the average-case lower bound against small (de Morgan) formulas. Finally, we show that the existence of any non-trivial compression algorithm for a circuit class C ⊆ P/poly would imply the circuit lower bound NEXP ⊈ C. This complements Williams's result 55 that any non-trivial Circuit-SAT algorithm for a circuit class C would imply a superpolynomial lower bound against C for a language in NEXP1.
