Discrepancy and the Power of Bottom Fan-in in Depth-three Circuits
We develop a new technique of proving lower bounds for the randomized communication complexity of boolean functions in the multiparty `Number on the Forehead' model. Our meth...

Powering requires threshold depth 3
We study the circuit complexity of the powering function, defined as POWm(Z) = Zm for an n-bit integer input Z and an integer exponent m poly(n). Let LTd denote the class of func...
