Monotone Complexity of Spanning Tree Polynomial Re-Visited

Authors: Arkadev Chattopadhyay, Rajit Datta, Utsab Ghosal, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 215, 13th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2022)


Abstract
We prove two results that shed new light on the monotone complexity of the spanning tree polynomial, a classic polynomial in algebraic complexity and beyond. First, we show that the spanning tree polynomials having n variables and defined over constant-degree expander graphs, have monotone arithmetic complexity 2^{Ω(n)}. This yields the first strongly exponential lower bound on monotone arithmetic circuit complexity for a polynomial in VP. Before this result, strongly exponential size monotone lower bounds were known only for explicit polynomials in VNP [S. B. Gashkov and I. S. Sergeev, 2012; Ran Raz and Amir Yehudayoff, 2011; Srikanth Srinivasan, 2020; Bruno Pasqualotto Cavalar et al., 2020; Pavel Hrubeš and Amir Yehudayoff, 2021]. Recently, Hrubeš [Pavel Hrubeš, 2020] initiated a program to prove lower bounds against general arithmetic circuits by proving ε-sensitive lower bounds for monotone arithmetic circuits for a specific range of values for ε ∈ (0,1). The first ε-sensitive lower bound was just proved for a family of polynomials inside VNP by Chattopadhyay, Datta and Mukhopadhyay [Arkadev Chattopadhyay et al., 2021]. We consider the spanning tree polynomial ST_n defined over the complete graph of n vertices and show that the polynomials F_{n-1,n} - ε⋅ ST_{n} and F_{n-1,n} + ε⋅ ST_{n}, defined over (n-1)n variables, have monotone circuit complexity 2^{Ω(n)} if ε ≥ 2^{- Ω(n)} and F_{n-1,n} := ∏_{i = 2}ⁿ (x_{i,1} + ⋯ + x_{i,n}) is the complete set-multilinear polynomial. This provides the first ε-sensitive exponential lower bound for a family of polynomials inside VP. En-route, we consider a problem in 2-party, best partition communication complexity of deciding whether two sets of oriented edges distributed among Alice and Bob form a spanning tree or not. We prove that there exists a fixed distribution, under which the problem has low discrepancy with respect to every nearly-balanced partition. This result could be of interest beyond algebraic complexity. Our two results, thus, are incomparable generalizations of the well known result by Jerrum and Snir [Mark Jerrum and Marc Snir, 1982] which showed that the spanning tree polynomial, defined over complete graphs with n vertices (so the number of variables is (n-1)n), has monotone complexity 2^{Ω(n)}. In particular, the first result is an optimal lower bound and the second result can be thought of as a robust version of the earlier monotone lower bound for the spanning tree polynomial.

Equivalence Testing of Weighted Automata over Partially Commutative Monoids

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 202, 46th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2021)


Abstract
Motivated by equivalence testing of k-tape automata, we study the equivalence testing of weighted automata in the more general setting, over partially commutative monoids (in short, pc monoids), and show efficient algorithms in some special cases, exploiting the structure of the underlying non-commutation graph of the monoid. Specifically, if the edge clique cover number of the non-commutation graph of the pc monoid is a constant, we obtain a deterministic quasi-polynomial time algorithm for equivalence testing. As a corollary, we obtain the first deterministic quasi-polynomial time algorithms for equivalence testing of k-tape weighted automata and for equivalence testing of deterministic k-tape automata for constant k. Prior to this, the best complexity upper bound for these k-tape automata problems were randomized polynomial-time, shown by Worrell [James Worrell, 2013]. Finding a polynomial-time deterministic algorithm for equivalence testing of deterministic k-tape automata for constant k has been open for several years [Emily P. Friedman and Sheila A. Greibach, 1982] and our results make progress. We also consider pc monoids for which the non-commutation graphs have an edge cover consisting of at most k cliques and star graphs for any constant k. We obtain a randomized polynomial-time algorithm for equivalence testing of weighted automata over such monoids. Our results are obtained by designing efficient zero-testing algorithms for weighted automata over such pc monoids.

A Special Case of Rational Identity Testing and the Brešar-Klep Theorem

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 170, 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2020)


Abstract
We explore a special case of rational identity testing and algorithmic versions of two theorems on noncommutative polynomials, namely, Amitsur's theorem [S.A Amitsur, 1966] and the Brešar-Klep theorem [Brešar and Klep, 2008] when the input polynomial is given by an algebraic branching program (ABP). Let f be a degree-d n-variate noncommutative polynomial in the free ring Q<x_1,x_2,...,x_n> over rationals. 1) We consider the following special case of rational identity testing: Given a noncommutative ABP as white-box, whose edge labels are linear forms or inverses of linear forms, we show a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to decide if the rational function computed by it is equivalent to zero in the free skew field Q<(X)>. Given black-box access to the ABP, we give a deterministic quasi-polynomial time algorithm for this problem. 2) Amitsur's theorem implies that if a noncommutative polynomial f is nonzero on k x k matrices then, in fact, f(M_1,M_2,...,M_n) is invertible for some matrix tuple (M_1,M_2,...,M_n) in (M_k(ℚ))^n. While a randomized polynomial time algorithm to find such (M_1,M_2,...,M_n) given black-box access to f is simple, we obtain a deterministic s^{O(log d)} time algorithm for the problem with black-box access to f, where s is the minimum ABP size for f and d is the degree of f. 3) The Brešar-Klep Theorem states that the span of the range of any noncommutative polynomial f on k x k matrices over Q is one of the following: zero, scalar multiples of I_k, trace-zero matrices in M_k(Q), or all of M_k(Q). We obtain a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to decide which case occurs, given white-box access to an ABP for f. We also give a deterministic s^{O(log d)} time algorithm given black-box access to an ABP of size s for f. Our algorithms work when k >= d. Our techniques are based on some automata theory combined with known techniques for noncommutative ABP identity testing [Ran Raz and Amir Shpilka, 2005; Michael A. Forbes and Amir Shpilka, 2013].

Fast Exact Algorithms Using Hadamard Product of Polynomials

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)


Abstract
Let C be an arithmetic circuit of poly(n) size given as input that computes a polynomial f in F[X], where X={x_1,x_2,...,x_n} and F is any field where the field arithmetic can be performed efficiently. We obtain new algorithms for the following two problems first studied by Koutis and Williams [Ioannis Koutis, 2008; Ryan Williams, 2009; Ioannis Koutis and Ryan Williams, 2016]. - (k,n)-MLC: Compute the sum of the coefficients of all degree-k multilinear monomials in the polynomial f. - k-MMD: Test if there is a nonzero degree-k multilinear monomial in the polynomial f. Our algorithms are based on the fact that the Hadamard product f o S_{n,k}, is the degree-k multilinear part of f, where S_{n,k} is the k^{th} elementary symmetric polynomial. - For (k,n)-MLC problem, we give a deterministic algorithm of run time O^*(n^(k/2+c log k)) (where c is a constant), answering an open question of Koutis and Williams [Ioannis Koutis and Ryan Williams, 2016]. As corollaries, we show O^*(binom{n}{downarrow k/2})-time exact counting algorithms for several combinatorial problems: k-Tree, t-Dominating Set, m-Dimensional k-Matching. - For k-MMD problem, we give a randomized algorithm of run time 4.32^k * poly(n,k). Our algorithm uses only poly(n,k) space. This matches the run time of a recent algorithm [Cornelius Brand et al., 2018] for k-MMD which requires exponential (in k) space. Other results include fast deterministic algorithms for (k,n)-MLC and k-MMD problems for depth three circuits.

On Explicit Branching Programs for the Rectangular Determinant and Permanent Polynomials

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 149, 30th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2019)


Abstract
We study the arithmetic circuit complexity of some well-known family of polynomials through the lens of parameterized complexity. Our main focus is on the construction of explicit algebraic branching programs (ABP) for determinant and permanent polynomials of the rectangular symbolic matrix in both commutative and noncommutative settings. The main results are: - We show an explicit O^*(binom{n}{downarrow k/2})-size ABP construction for noncommutative permanent polynomial of k x n symbolic matrix. We obtain this via an explicit ABP construction of size O^*(binom{n}{downarrow k/2}) for S_{n,k}^*, noncommutative symmetrized version of the elementary symmetric polynomial S_{n,k}. - We obtain an explicit O^*(2^k)-size ABP construction for the commutative rectangular determinant polynomial of the k x n symbolic matrix. - In contrast, we show that evaluating the rectangular noncommutative determinant over rational matrices is #W[1]-hard.

RANDOM
Efficient Black-Box Identity Testing for Free Group Algebras

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 145, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2019)


Abstract
Hrubeš and Wigderson [Pavel Hrubeš and Avi Wigderson, 2014] initiated the study of noncommutative arithmetic circuits with division computing a noncommutative rational function in the free skew field, and raised the question of rational identity testing. For noncommutative formulas with inverses the problem can be solved in deterministic polynomial time in the white-box model [Ankit Garg et al., 2016; Ivanyos et al., 2018]. It can be solved in randomized polynomial time in the black-box model [Harm Derksen and Visu Makam, 2017], where the running time is polynomial in the size of the formula. The complexity of identity testing of noncommutative rational functions, in general, remains open for noncommutative circuits with inverses. We solve the problem for a natural special case. We consider expressions in the free group algebra F(X,X^{-1}) where X={x_1, x_2, ..., x_n}. Our main results are the following. 1) Given a degree d expression f in F(X,X^{-1}) as a black-box, we obtain a randomized poly(n,d) algorithm to check whether f is an identically zero expression or not. The technical contribution is an Amitsur-Levitzki type theorem [A. S. Amitsur and J. Levitzki, 1950] for F(X, X^{-1}). This also yields a deterministic identity testing algorithm (and even an expression reconstruction algorithm) that is polynomial time in the sparsity of the input expression. 2) Given an expression f in F(X,X^{-1}) of degree D and sparsity s, as black-box, we can check whether f is identically zero or not in randomized poly(n,log s, log D) time. This yields a randomized polynomial-time algorithm when D and s are exponential in n.

Univariate Ideal Membership Parameterized by Rank, Degree, and Number of Generators

Authors: V. Arvind, Abhranil Chatterjee, Rajit Datta, and Partha Mukhopadhyay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 122, 38th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2018)


Abstract
Let F[X] be the polynomial ring over the variables X={x_1,x_2, ..., x_n}. An ideal I= <p_1(x_1), ..., p_n(x_n)> generated by univariate polynomials {p_i(x_i)}_{i=1}^n is a univariate ideal. We study the ideal membership problem for the univariate ideals and show the following results. - Let f(X) in F[l_1, ..., l_r] be a (low rank) polynomial given by an arithmetic circuit where l_i : 1 <= i <= r are linear forms, and I=<p_1(x_1), ..., p_n(x_n)> be a univariate ideal. Given alpha in F^n, the (unique) remainder f(X) mod I can be evaluated at alpha in deterministic time d^{O(r)} * poly(n), where d=max {deg(f),deg(p_1)...,deg(p_n)}. This yields a randomized n^{O(r)} algorithm for minimum vertex cover in graphs with rank-r adjacency matrices. It also yields an n^{O(r)} algorithm for evaluating the permanent of a n x n matrix of rank r, over any field F. Over Q, an algorithm of similar run time for low rank permanent is due to Barvinok [Barvinok, 1996] via a different technique. - Let f(X)in F[X] be given by an arithmetic circuit of degree k (k treated as fixed parameter) and I=<p_1(x_1), ..., p_n(x_n)>. We show that in the special case when I=<x_1^{e_1}, ..., x_n^{e_n}>, we obtain a randomized O^*(4.08^k) algorithm that uses poly(n,k) space. - Given f(X)in F[X] by an arithmetic circuit and I=<p_1(x_1), ..., p_k(x_k)>, membership testing is W[1]-hard, parameterized by k. The problem is MINI[1]-hard in the special case when I=<x_1^{e_1}, ..., x_k^{e_k}>.

Efficient Identity Testing and Polynomial Factorization in Nonassociative Free Rings

Authors: Vikraman Arvind, Rajit Datta, Partha Mukhopadhyay, and S. Raja

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)


Abstract
In this paper we study arithmetic computations in the nonassociative, and noncommutative free polynomial ring F{X}. Prior to this work, nonassociative arithmetic computation was considered by Hrubes, Wigderson, and Yehudayoff, and they showed lower bounds and proved completeness results. We consider Polynomial Identity Testing and Polynomial Factorization in F{X} and show the following results. 1. Given an arithmetic circuit C computing a polynomial f in F{X} of degree d, we give a deterministic polynomial algorithm to decide if f is identically zero. Our result is obtained by a suitable adaptation of the PIT algorithm of Raz and Shpilka for noncommutative ABPs. 2. Given an arithmetic circuit C computing a polynomial f in F{X} of degree d, we give an efficient deterministic algorithm to compute circuits for the irreducible factors of f in polynomial time when F is the field of rationals. Over finite fields of characteristic p, our algorithm runs in time polynomial in input size and p.
