We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...
We present a new 0 (n2) heuristic for hypergraph min-cut bipartitioning, an important problem in circuit placement. Fastest previous methods for this problem are O(n2 log n). Our ...
Non-trivial linear straight-line programs over the Galois field of two elements occur frequently in applications such as encryption or high-performance computing. Finding the shor...
We study the complexity of deciding whether a given homogeneous multivariate polynomial has a nontrivial root over a finite field. Given a homogeneous algebraic circuit C that com...
In this paper, we describe and evaluate three different techniques for translating pseudoboolean constraints (linear constraints over boolean variables) into clauses that can be h...
