Lower bounds for arithmetic networks. II: Sum of Betti numbers. (English) Zbl 0844.68069

Summary: [For part I see ibid. 4, No. 1, 1-24 (1993; Zbl 0769.68055).]
We show lower bounds for the parallel complexity and membership problems in semialgebraic sets. Our lower bounds are obtained from the Euler characteristic and the sum of Betti numbers. We remark that these lower bounds are polynomial (an square root) in the sequential lower bounds obtained by Andrew C. C. Yao.
