Title
Circuit Lower Bounds via Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse Games
Abstract
In this paper we prove that the class of functions expressible by first order formulas with only two variables coincides with the class of functions computable byAC0 circuits with a linear number of gates. We then investigate the feasibility of using Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse games to prove lower bounds for that class of circuits, as well as for general AC^0 circuits.
