Border Complexity of Symbolic Determinant Under Rank One Restriction

Authors: Abhranil Chatterjee, Sumanta Ghosh, Rohit Gurjar, and Roshan Raj

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 264, 38th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2023)

Abstract
VBP is the class of polynomial families that can be computed by the determinant of a symbolic matrix of the form A_0 + ∑_{i=1}^n A_i x_i where the size of each A_i is polynomial in the number of variables (equivalently, computable by polynomial-sized algebraic branching programs (ABP)). A major open problem in geometric complexity theory (GCT) is to determine whether VBP is closed under approximation i.e. whether VBP = VBP^ ̅. The power of approximation is well understood for some restricted models of computation, e.g. the class of depth-two circuits, read-once oblivious ABPs (ROABP), monotone ABPs, depth-three circuits of bounded top fan-in, and width-two ABPs. The former three classes are known to be closed under approximation [Markus Bläser et al., 2020], whereas the approximative closure of the last one captures the entire class of polynomial families computable by polynomial-sized formulas [Bringmann et al., 2017]. In this work, we consider the subclass of VBP computed by the determinant of a symbolic matrix of the form A_0 + ∑_{i=1}^n A_i x_i where for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n, A_i is of rank one. This class has been studied extensively [Edmonds, 1968; Jack Edmonds, 1979; Murota, 1993] and efficient identity testing algorithms are known for it [Lovász, 1989; Rohit Gurjar and Thomas Thierauf, 2020]. We show that this class is closed under approximation. In the language of algebraic geometry, we show that the set obtained by taking coordinatewise products of pairs of points from (the Plücker embedding of) a Grassmannian variety is closed.

Understanding PPA-Completeness

Authors: Xiaotie Deng, Jack R. Edmonds, Zhe Feng, Zhengyang Liu, Qi Qi, and Zeying Xu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 50, 31st Conference on Computational Complexity (CCC 2016)

Abstract
We consider the problem of finding a fully colored base triangle on the 2-dimensional Möbius band under the standard boundary condition, proving it to be PPA-complete. The proof is based on a construction for the DPZP problem, that of finding a zero point under a discrete version of continuity condition. It further derives PPA-completeness for versions on the Möbius band of other related discrete fixed point type problems, and a special version of the Tucker problem, finding an edge such that if the value of one end vertex is x, the other is -x, given a special anti-symmetry boundary condition. More generally, this applies to other non-orientable spaces, including the projective plane and the Klein bottle. However, since those models have a closed boundary, we rely on a version of the PPA that states it as to find another fixed point giving a fixed point. This model also makes it presentationally simple for an extension to a high dimensional discrete fixed point problem on a non-orientable (nearly) hyper-grid with a constant side length.
