Thus, an inverse exponential upper bound on the discrepancy gives polynomial upper bounds on the randomized communication cost. In fact, one of the strengths of this approach is that it gives bounds even for protocols with error very close to 1/2. But this also happens to be one of the reasons it fails to give good bounds for functions, such as DISJ, which have constant bit protocols that achieve error at most 1/2 − 1/poly(n). Thus, the discrepancy of DISJ is at least 1/poly(n) and the discrepany method will not give any better than logarithmic lower bound on the randomized communication cost. We will now discuss an extension of the discrepancy method, originally due to Razborov and formalized by Klauck, called the generalized discrepancy method, which will help get around this weakness of the discrepancy approach for certain functions. Let f : X × Y → {1,−1} be a function whose communication complexity is of interest. Suppose there exist h : X × Y → {1,−1} and a distribution μ on X × Y such that the following holds.
