Valiant introduced some 25 years ago an algebraic model of computation along with the complexity classes VP and VNP, which can be viewed as analogues of the classical classes P and...
We show that for several natural classes of "structured" matrices, including symmetric, circulant, Hankel and Toeplitz matrices, approximating the permanent modulo a prim...
We revisit a well studied linear algebraic problem, computing the rank and determinant of matrices, in order to obtain completeness results for small complexity classes. In partic...
We show that thepermanent cannot be computed by uniform constantdepth threshold circuits of size Tn, for any function T such that for all k, Tk n = o2n. More generally, we show th...
In this paper we study the computational complexity of computing the noncommutative determinant. We first consider the arithmetic circuit complexity of computing the noncommutativ...
