Polynomial Vicinity Circuits and Nonlinear Lower Bounds
We study families of Boolean circuits with the property that the number of gates at distance t fanning into or out of any given gate in a circuit is bounded above by a polynomial ...

Lower Bounds and Separations for Constant Depth Multilinear Circuits
We prove an exponential lower bound for the size of constant depth multilinear arithmetic circuits computing either the determinant or the permanent (a circuit is called multiline...

Diagonal Circuit Identity Testing and Lower Bounds
In this paper we give the first deterministic polynomial time algorithm for testing whether a diagonal depth-3 circuit C(x1, . . . , xn) (i.e. C is a sum of powers of linear funct...

A Lower Bound for the Size of Syntactically Multilinear Arithmetic Circuits
We construct an explicit polynomial f(x1, . . . , xn), with coefficients in {0, 1}, such that the size of any syntactically multilinear arithmetic circuit computing f is at least ...
