Popis: An arithmetic read-once formula ROF is a formula circuit of fan-out 1 over $$+, \times $$ where each variable labels at most one leaf. Every multilinear polynomial can be expressed as the sum of ROFs. In this work, we prove, for certain multilinear polynomials, a tight lower bound on the number of summands in such an expression.
