Symmetric Formulas for Products of Permutations
William He, Benjamin Rossman
We study the formula complexity of the word problem : given -by- permutation matrices , compute the …
Shrinkage of Decision Lists and DNF Formulas
Benjamin Rossman
We establish nearly tight bounds on the expected shrinkage of decision lists and DNF formulas under the -random restriction for all values of . For a…
Tree-depth and the Formula Complexity of Subgraph Isomorphism
Deepanshu Kush, Benjamin Rossman
For a fixed "pattern" graph , the $\textit{colored $G$-subgraph isomorphism problem}$ (denoted ) asks, given an -vertex graph and a coloring $V(H) \to V(…
Separation of AC Formulas and Circuits
Benjamin Rossman, Srikanth Srinivasan
This paper gives the first separation between the power of {\em formulas} and {\em circuits} of equal depth in the basis (unbounded fan-in AND, OR, NOT and…
An average-case depth hierarchy theorem for Boolean circuits
Benjamin Rossman, Rocco A. Servedio, Li-Yang Tan
We prove an average-case depth hierarchy theorem for Boolean circuits over the standard basis of , , and gates. Our hierarchy theorem says…
