On the intrinsic complexity of elimination problems in effective Algebraic Geometry

Computational Complexity 2012-04-26 v2

Abstract

The representation of polynomials by arithmetic circuits evaluating them is an alternative data structure which allowed considerable progress in polynomial equation solving in the last fifteen years. We present a circuit based computation model which captures all known symbolic elimination algorithms in effective algebraic geometry and show the intrinsically exponential complexity character of elimination in this complexity model.
