—We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most O(k3 log d). The previous best rank bound known was 2O(k2 ) (log d)k−2...
We study the identity testing problem for depth 3 arithmetic circuits ( circuit). We give the first deterministic polynomial time identity test for circuits with bounded top fanin...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose that t...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in machine learning, control theory, and discrete geometry. This c...
