Superpolynomial lower bounds against low-depth algebraic circuits

N Limaye, S Srinivasan, S Tavenas - Communications of the ACM, 2024 - dl.acm.org
An Algebraic Circuit for a multivariate polynomial P is a computational model for constructing
the polynomial P using only additions and multiplications. It is a syntactic model of …

[HTML][HTML] Improved bounds for reduction to depth 4 and depth 3

S Tavenas - Information and Computation, 2015 - Elsevier
Koiran showed that if an n-variate polynomial fn of degree d (with d= n O (1)) is computed by
a circuit of size s, then it is also computed by a homogeneous circuit of depth four and of size …

Arithmetic circuits: A chasm at depth 3

A Gupta, P Kamath, N Kayal, R Saptharishi - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2016 - SIAM
We show that, over \mathbbQ, if an n-variate polynomial of degree d=n^O(1) is computable
by an arithmetic circuit of size s (respectively, by an arithmetic branching program of size s) …

Learning sums of powers of low-degree polynomials in the non-degenerate case

A Garg, N Kayal, C Saha - 2020 IEEE 61st Annual Symposium …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We develop algorithms for writing a polynomial as sums of powers of low degree
