In this paper, we initiate the study of deterministic PIT for $\Sigma^{[k]}\Pi\Sigma\Pi^{[\delta]}$ circuits over fields of any characteristic, where $k$ and $\delta$ are bounded. Our main result is a deterministic polynomial-time black-box…

Let C be a depth-3 circuit with n variables, degree d and top fanin k (called sps(k,d,n) circuits) over base field F. It is a major open problem to design a deterministic polynomial time blackbox algorithm that tests if C is identically…

In 2010, A. Shpilka and I. Volkovich established a prominent result on the equivalence of polynomial factorization and identity testing. It follows from their result that a multilinear polynomial over the finite field of order 2 can be…

We introduce a new approach to isolate the real roots of a square-free polynomial $F=\sum_{i=0}^n A_i x^i$ with real coefficients. It is assumed that each coefficient of $F$ can be approximated to any specified error bound. The presented…

Zero-free based algorithm is a major technique for deterministic approximate counting. In Barvinok's original framework[Bar17], by calculating truncated Taylor expansions, a quasi-polynomial time algorithm was given for estimating zero-free…

A polynomial identity testing algorithm must determine whether a given input polynomial is identically equal to 0. We give a deterministic black-box identity testing algorithm for univariate polynomials of the form $\sum_{j=0}^t c_j…

We study the complexity of representing polynomials as a sum of products of polynomials in few variables. More precisely, we study representations of the form $$P = \sum_{i = 1}^T \prod_{j = 1}^d Q_{ij}$$ such that each $Q_{ij}$ is an…

We prove a lower bound of $\Omega\left(n^{1.5}\right)$ for the number of product gates in non-commutative arithmetic circuits for an explicit $n$-variate degree-$n$ polynomial $f_{n}$ (over every field). We observe that this implies that…

Given an order, a commutative ring whose additive group is free of finite rank, a natural computational question is whether a fixed univariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ has a root in this ring. In this paper, we show that the…

The isolation lemma of Mulmuley et al \cite{MVV87} is an important tool in the design of randomized algorithms and has played an important role in several nontrivial complexity upper bounds. On the other hand, polynomial identity testing is…

We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…
