Title
Positive and negative proofs for circuits and branching programs
Abstract
We extend the # operator in a natural way and derive new types of counting complexity classes. While in the case of #C classes (where C could be some circuit-based class like NC1) only proofs for acceptance of some input are being counted, one can also count proofs for rejection. The Zap-C complexity classes we propose here implement this idea.
