Derandomizing Multivariate Polynomial Factoring for Low Degree Factors

Authors: Pranjal Dutta, Amit Sinhababu, and Thomas Thierauf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 317, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2024)

Abstract
Kaltofen [STOC 1986] gave a randomized algorithm to factor multivariate polynomials given by algebraic circuits. We derandomize the algorithm in some special cases. For an n-variate polynomial f of degree d from a class 𝒞 of algebraic circuits, we design a deterministic algorithm to find all its irreducible factors of degree ≤ δ, for constant δ. The running time of this algorithm stems from a deterministic PIT algorithm for class 𝒞 and a deterministic algorithm that tests divisibility of f by a polynomial of degree ≤ δ. By using the PIT algorithm for constant-depth circuits by Limaye, Srinivasan and Tavenas [FOCS 2021] and the divisibility results by Forbes [FOCS 2015], this generalizes and simplifies a recent result by Kumar, Ramanathan and Saptharishi [SODA 2024]. They designed a subexponential-time algorithm that, given a blackbox access to f computed by a constant-depth circuit, outputs its irreducible factors of degree ≤ δ. When the input f is sparse, the time complexity of our algorithm depends on a whitebox PIT algorithm for ∑_i m_i g_i^{d_i}, where m_i are monomials and deg(g_i) ≤ δ. All the previous algorithms required a blackbox PIT algorithm for the same class. Our second main result considers polynomials f, where each irreducible factor has degree at most δ. We show that all the irreducible factors with their multiplicities can be computed in polynomial time with blackbox access to f. Finally, we consider factorization of sparse polynomials. We show that in order to compute all the sparse irreducible factors efficiently, it suffices to derandomize irreducibility preserving bivariate projections for sparse polynomials.

Efficient Reconstruction of Depth Three Arithmetic Circuits with Top Fan-In Two

Authors: Gaurav Sinha

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

Abstract
In this paper we develop efficient randomized algorithms to solve the black-box reconstruction problem for polynomials over finite fields, computable by depth three arithmetic circuits with alternating addition/multiplication gates, such that output gate is an addition gate with in-degree two. Such circuits naturally compute polynomials of the form G×(T₁ + T₂), where G,T₁,T₂ are product of affine forms computed at the first layer in the circuit, and polynomials T₁,T₂ have no common factors. Rank of such a circuit is defined to be the dimension of vector space spanned by all affine factors of T₁ and T₂. For any polynomial f computable by such a circuit, rank(f) is defined to be the minimum rank of any such circuit computing it. Our work develops randomized reconstruction algorithms which take as input black-box access to a polynomial f (over finite field 𝔽), computable by such a circuit. Here are the results. - [Low rank]: When 5 ≤ rank(f) = O(log³ d), it runs in time (nd^{log³d}log |𝔽|)^{O(1)}, and, with high probability, outputs a depth three circuit computing f, with top addition gate having in-degree ≤ d^{rank(f)}. - [High rank]: When rank(f) = Ω(log³ d), it runs in time (ndlog |𝔽|)^{O(1)}, and, with high probability, outputs a depth three circuit computing f, with top addition gate having in-degree two. Prior to our work, black-box reconstruction for this circuit class was addressed in [Amir Shpilka, 2007; Karnin and Shpilka, 2009; Sinha, 2016]. Reconstruction algorithm in [Amir Shpilka, 2007] runs in time quasi-polynomial in n,d,|𝔽| and that in [Karnin and Shpilka, 2009] is quasi-polynomial in d,|𝔽|. Algorithm in [Sinha, 2016] works only for polynomials over characteristic zero fields. Thus, ours is the first blackbox reconstruction algorithm for this class of circuits that runs in time polynomial in log |𝔽|. This problem has been mentioned as an open problem in [Ankit Gupta et al., 2012] (STOC 2012). In the high rank case, our algorithm runs in (ndlog|𝔽|)^{O(1)} time, thereby significantly improving the existing algorithms in [Amir Shpilka, 2007; Karnin and Shpilka, 2009].

The Landform Reference Ontology (LFRO): A Foundation for Exploring Linguistic and Geospatial Conceptualization of Landforms (Short Paper)

Authors: Gaurav Sinha, Samantha T. Arundel, Torsten Hahmann, E. Lynn Usery, Kathleen Stewart, and David M. Mark

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 114, 10th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2018)

Abstract
The landform reference ontology (LFRO) formalizes ontological distinctions underlying naïve geographic cognition and reasoning about landforms. The LFRO taxonomy is currently based only on form-based distinctions. In this significantly revised version, several new categories have been added to explicate ontological distinctions related to material-spatial dependence and physical support. Nuances of common natural language landform terms and implications for their mapping are discussed.

Reconstruction of Real Depth-3 Circuits with Top Fan-In 2

Authors: Gaurav Sinha

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

Abstract
Reconstruction of arithmetic circuits has been heavily studied in the past few years and has connections to proving lower bounds and deterministic identity testing. In this paper we present a polynomial time randomized algorithm for reconstructing SigmaPiSigma(2) circuits over F (char(F)=0), i.e. depth-3 circuits with fan-in 2 at the top addition gate and having coefficients from a field of characteristic 0. The algorithm needs only a blackbox query access to the polynomial f in F[x_1,..., x_n] of degree d, computable by a SigmaPiSigma(2) circuit C. In addition, we assume that the "simple rank" of this polynomial (essential number of variables after removing the gcd of the two multiplication gates) is bigger than a fixed constant. Our algorithm runs in time poly(n,d) and returns an equivalent SigmaPiSigma(2) circuit (with high probability). The problem of reconstructing SigmaPiSigma(2) circuits over finite fields was first proposed by Shpilka [Shpilka, STOC 2007]. The generalization to SigmaPiSigma(k) circuits, k = O(1) (over finite fields) was addressed by Karnin and Shpilka in [Karnin/Shpilka, CCC 2015]. The techniques in these previous involve iterating over all objects of certain kinds over the ambient field and thus the running time depends on the size of the field F. Their reconstruction algorithm uses lower bounds on the lengths of Linear Locally Decodable Codes with 2 queries. In our settings, such ideas immediately pose a problem and we need new ideas to handle the case of the characteristic 0 field F. Our main techniques are based on the use of Quantitative Sylvester Gallai Theorems from the work of Barak et al. [Barak/Dvir/Wigderson/Yehudayoff, STOC 2011] to find a small collection of "nice" subspaces to project onto. The heart of our paper lies in subtle applications of the Quantitative Sylvester Gallai theorems to prove why projections w.r.t. the "nice" subspaces can be "glued". We also use Brill's Equations from [Gelfand/Kapranov/Zelevinsky, 1994] to construct a small set of candidate linear forms (containing linear forms from both gates). Another important technique which comes very handy is the polynomial time randomized algorithm for factoring multivariate polynomials given by Kaltofen [Kaltofen/Trager, J. Symb. Comp. 1990].
