We show that if we can design poly($s$)-time hitting-sets for $\Sigma\wedge^a\Sigma\Pi^{O(\log s)}$ circuits of size $s$, where $a=\omega(1)$ is arbitrarily small and the number of variables, or arity $n$, is $O(\log s)$, then we can…

It has been known for almost three decades that many $\mathrm{NP}$-hard optimization problems can be solved in polynomial time when restricted to structures of constant treewidth. In this work we provide the first extension of such results…

We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most k^3\log d. The previous best rank bound known was 2^{O(k^2)}(\log d)^{k-2} by Dvir and Shpilka (STOC 2005). This almost resolves the…
