A survey on real structural complexity theory.
Semi-algebraic complexity-additive complexity of diagonalization of quadratic forms.
We study matrix calculations such as diagonalization of quadratic forms under the aspect of additive complexity and relate these complexities to the complexity of matrix multiplication. While in Bürgisser et al. (1991) for multiplicative complexity the customary thick path existence argument was sufficient, here for additive complexity we need the more delicate finess of the real spectrum (cf. Bochnak et al. (1987), Becker (1986), Knebusch and Scheiderer (1989)) to obtain a complexity relativization....
