Clique-polynomial lower bounds with positive constants #
This module combines the clique-support separation theorem with the generic positive-constant Schnorr measure. The resulting bounds allow an arbitrary alphabet of free named constants, provided their natural interpretation is strictly positive. Thus positive coefficients and reusable positive scalar gates do not weaken the clique-polynomial addition lower bound.
Every polynomial with clique support needs one fewer addition than its number of monomials, even when the circuit has free positive constants.
Schnorr's addition lower bound for the clique polynomial, allowing free positive named constants.
The central-binomial clique family retains its addition bound in the presence of arbitrary positive constants.
Explicit exponential addition lower bound for the middle clique layer, still valid for circuits with free positive named constants.
