Lower Bounds for Circuits with Few Modular Gates using Exponential Sums
نویسنده
چکیده
AC 0 circuits of size n log n augmented with log n MODm gates, for every odd integer m and any sufficiently small . As a consequence, for every odd integer m, we obtain a pseudorandom generator, based on the MOD2 function, for circuits of size S containing log S MODm gates. Our results are based on recent bounds of exponential sums that were previously introduced for proving lower bounds for MAJ ◦MODm ◦ANDd circuits.

Lower Bounds for Circuits with Few Modular and Symmetric Gates
We consider constant depth circuits augmented with few modular, or more generally, arbitrary symmetric gates. We prove that circuits augmented with o(log n) symmetric gates must have size n n) to compute a certain (complicated) function in ACC. This function is also hard on the average for circuits of size n logn augmented with o(log n) symmetric gates, and as a consequence we can get a pseudor...
متن کاملLower Bounds for (MOD p - MOD m) Circuits
Modular gates are known to be immune for the random restriction techniques of Ajtai Ajt83], Furst, Saxe, Sipser FSS84], Yao Yao85] and H astad H as86]. We demonstrate here a random clustering technique which overcomes this diiculty and is capable to prove generalizations of several known modular circuit lower bounds of Barrington, Straubing, Th erien BST90], Krause and Pudll ak KP94], and other...
متن کاملCircuits with composite moduli
This work studies the power of ACC circuits. These are circuits that have modular gates, in addition to the usual AND,OR,NOT. We are particularly interested in circuits where the modulus is a composite number. Our main result is that every ACC circuit of polynomial size and depth d can be reduced to a depth-2 circuit SYM◦AND of size 2(logn)O(d) . This improves exponentially the previously best-...
متن کاملDepth Reduction for Circuits with a Single Layer of Modular Counting Gates
We consider the class of constant depth AND/OR circuits augmented with a layer of modular counting gates at the bottom layer, i.e AC◦MODm circuits. We show that the following holds for several types of gates G: by adding a gate of type G at the output, it is possible to obtain an equivalent probabilistic depth 2 circuit of quasipolynomial size consisting of a gate of type G at the output and a ...
متن کاملThe Correlation Between Parity and Quadratic Polynomials
We prove exponentially small upper bounds on the correlation between parity and quadratic polynomials mod 3. One corollary of this is that in order to compute parity, circuits consisting of a threshold gate at the top, mod 3 gates in the middle, and AND gates of fan-in two at the inputs must be of size 2. This is the first result of this type for general mod 3 subcircuits with ANDs of fan-in gr...
