We present an alternate proof of the result by Kabanets and Impagliazzo that derandomizing polynomial identity testing implies circuit lower bounds. Our proof is simpler, scales b...
The class ACC consists of circuit families with constant depth over unbounded fan-in AND, OR, NOT, and MODm gates, where m > 1 is an arbitrary constant. We prove: • NTIME[2n ...
A polynomial identity testing algorithm must determine whether an input polynomial (given for instance by an arithmetic circuit) is identically equal to 0. In this paper, we show ...
We derive quadratic lower bounds on the ∗-complexity of sum-of-products-of-sums (ΣΠΣ) formulas for classes of polynomials f that have too few partial derivatives for the techn...
In 2002 Jackson et al. [JKS02] asked whether AC0 circuits augmented with a threshold gate at the output can be efficiently learned from uniform random examples. We answer this ques...
