More applications of the polynomial method to algorithm design
2015
In low-depth circuit complexity, the polynomial method is a way to prove lower bounds by translating weak circuits into low-degree polynomials, then analyzing properties of these polynomials. Recently, this method found an application to algorithm design: Williams (STOC 2014) used it to compute all-pairs shortest paths in n3/2Ω([EQUATION]log n) time on dense n-node graphs. In this paper, we extend this methodology to solve a number of problems in combinatorial pattern matching and Boolean algebra, considerably faster than previously known methods.
