Bounded Depth Circuits with Weighted Symmetric Gates: Satisfiability, Lower Bounds and Compression

A Boolean function $f: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is weighted symmetric if there exist a function $g: \mathbb{Z} \to \{0,1\}$ and integers $w_0, w_1, \ldots, w_n$ such that $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n) = g(w_0+\sum_{i=1}^n w_i x_i)$ holds.

In this paper, we present algorithms for the circuit satisfiability problem of bounded depth circuits with AND, ... more >>>

Proof Complexity Lower Bounds from Algebraic Circuit Complexity


We give upper and lower bounds on the power of subsystems of the Ideal Proof System (IPS), the algebraic proof system recently proposed by Grochow and Pitassi, where the circuits comprising the proof come from various restricted algebraic circuit classes. This mimics an established research direction in the ... more >>>

Trading Determinism for Time in Space Bounded Computations

Savitch showed in $1970$ that nondeterministic logspace (NL) is contained in deterministic $\mathcal{O}(\log^2 n)$ space but his algorithm requires quasipolynomial time. The question whether we can have a deterministic algorithm for every problem in NL that requires polylogarithmic space and simultaneously runs in polynomial time was left open.
