Title
A direct version of Shamir and Snir's lower bounds on monotone circuit depth
Abstract
We present direct proofs of the following results of Shamir and Snir [Mathematical System Theory 13 (1980) 301-322] on the depth of monotone arithmetic circuits over rings of characteristic 0: (1) an OMEGA((log p)(log n)) lower bound for computing the product of p n X n matrices; and (2) an OMEGA(n) lower bound for computing the permanent of an n X n matrix.
