Degree Bounds on Polynomials and Relativization Theory

چکیده
We demonstrate the applicability of the polynomial degree bound technique to notions such as the nonexistence of Turing-hard sets in some relativized world, (non)uniform gap-definability, and relativized separations. This way, we settle certain open questions of Hemaspaandra, Ramachandran & Zimand [HRZ95] and Fenner, Fortnow & Kurtz [FFK94], extend results of Hemaspaandra, Jain & Vereshchagin [HJV93] and construct oracles achieving desired results.

Nonclassical Polynomials as a Barrier to Polynomial Lower Bounds
The problem of constructing explicit functions which cannot be approximated by low degree polynomials has been extensively studied in computational complexity, motivated by applications in circuit lower bounds, pseudo-randomness, constructions of Ramsey graphs and locally decodable codes. Still, most of the known lower bounds become trivial for polynomials of superlogarithmic degree. Here, we s...
متن کاملLower Bounds Using Dual Polynomials ∗
Representations of Boolean functions by real polynomials play an important role in complexity theory. Typically, one is interested in the least degree of a polynomial p(x 1 ,. .. , x n) that approximates or sign-represents a given Boolean function f (x 1 ,. .. , x n). This article surveys a new and growing body of work in communication complexity that centers around the dual objects, i.e., poly...

Representations of Boolean functions by real polynomials play an important role in complexity theory. Typically, one is interested in the least degree of a polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) that approximates or sign-represents a given Boolean function f (x1, . . . , xn). This article surveys a new and growing body of work in communication complexity that centers around the dual objects, i.e., polyno...
متن کاملLower Bounds by Birkhoff Interpolation
In this paper we give lower bounds for the representation of real univariate polynomials as sums of powers of degree 1 polynomials. We present two families of polynomials of degree d such that the number of powers that are required in such a representation must be at least of order d. This is clearly optimal up to a constant factor. Previous lower bounds for this problem were only of order Ω( √...
متن کاملVolumes of Nonnegative Polynomials, Sums of Squares and Powers of Linear Forms
We study the quantitative relationship between the cones of nonnegative polynomials, cones of sums of squares and cones of sums of powers of linear forms. We derive bounds on the volumes (raised to the power reciprocal to the ambient dimension) of compact sections of the three cones. We show that the bounds are asymptotically exact if the degree is fixed and number of variables tends to infinit...
