On semiring complexity of Schur polynomials

Computational Complexity 2018-05-22 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

Semiring complexity is the version of arithmetic circuit complexity that allows only two operations: addition and multiplication. We show that when the number of variables is fixed, the semiring complexity of a Schur polynomial sλs_\lambda is O(log(λ1))O(log(\lambda_1)); here λ1\lambda_1 is the largest part of the partition λ\lambda.
