Abstract

We study the identity testing problem for depth 3 arithmetic circuits (ΣΠΣ circuit). We give the first deterministic polynomial time identity test for ΣΠΣ circuits with bounded top fanin. We also show that the rank of a minimal and simple ΣΠΣ circuit with bounded top fanin, computing zero, can be unbounded. These results answer the open questions posed by Klivans–Spielman (STOC 2001) and Dvir–Shpilka (STOC 2005).
