Graph complexity and projective and affine dimensions of graphs 7. Span programs : a linear algebraic model of computation 8. Conclusions and open problems Acknowledgments References N2 - Surveys several techniques for proving lower bounds in Boolean, algebraic, and communication complexity based on certain linear algebraic approaches. The common theme among these approaches is to study robustness measures of matrix rank that capture the complexity in a given model ER -
