Lower bounds for arithmetic circuits via the Hankel matrix

We study the complexity of representing polynomials by arithmetic circuits in both the commutative and the non-commutative settings. Our approach goes through a precise understanding of the more restricted setting where multiplication is not associative, meaning that we distinguish $(xy)z$ from $x(yz)$.

Our first and main conceptual result is a ... more >>>

Tight Bounds using Hankel Matrix for Arithmetic Circuits with Unique Parse Trees

This paper studies lower bounds for arithmetic circuits computing (non-commutative) polynomials. Our conceptual contribution is an exact correspondence between circuits and weighted automata: algebraic branching programs are captured by weighted automata over words, and circuits with unique parse trees by weighted automata over trees.

The key notion for understanding the ... more >>>

Lower Bounds and PIT for Non-Commutative Arithmetic circuits with Restricted Parse Trees

We investigate the power of Non-commutative Arithmetic Circuits, which compute polynomials over the free non-commutative polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}\langle x_1,\dots,x_N \rangle$, where variables do not commute. We consider circuits that are restricted in the ways in which they can compute monomials: this can be seen as restricting the families of parse ... more >>>

Non-commutative computations: lower bounds and polynomial identity testing

Comments: 1

In the setting of non-commutative arithmetic computations, we define a class of circuits that gener-
alize algebraic branching programs (ABP). This model is called unambiguous because it captures the
polynomials in which all monomials are computed in a similar way (that is, all the parse trees are iso-
morphic).
