The Minimum Circuit Size Problem: What is it? And Why Do We Care?

July 15, 2019, 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Location:

Hill Center, Room 116

Rutgers University

Eric Allender, Rutgers University

The Minimum Circuit Size Problem (MCSP) takes as input the truth-table of a Boolean function f, and asks about the size of the smallest circuit computing f.  MCSP has been the subject of a large amount of research lately.  This talk will survey some of this work and will try to explain why MCSP is attracting so much attention.
