Abstract: In this paper we describe a new technique for obtaining lower bounds on restriced classes of nonmonotone arithmetic circuits. The heart of this technique is a complexity measure for multivariate polynomials, based on the linear span of their partial derivatives. We use the technique to obtain new lower bounds for computing symmetric polynomials and iterated matrix products. 1 Introduction Despite much effort there are still essentially no lower bounds known for general models of computation...
