An optimization of the addition gate count in Plonkish circuits

S Thakur - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2023 - eprint.iacr.org
We slightly generalize Plonk's ([GWC19]) permutation argument by replacing permutations
with (possibly non-injective) self-maps of an interval. We then use this succinct argument to …
