- Optimize the HyperNova `compute_g`, `compute_Ls` and `to_lcccs` methods
- in some tests, increase the size of test matrices to a more real-world size.
| method | matrix size | old version seconds | new version seconds |
| --------------------- | ------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| compute_g | 2^8 x 2^8 | 16.48 | 0.16 |
| compute_g | 2^9 x 2^9 | 122.62 | 0.51 |

| compute_Ls | 2^9 x 2^9 | 67.16 | 0.38 |
| to_lcccs | 2^8 x 2^8 | 4.56 | 0.21 |

- Note: 2^16 x 2^16 is the actual size (upperbound) of the circuit,
which is not represented in the table since it was needing too much
ram to even be computed.

* optimize LCCCS::check_relation & CCCS::check_relation, and remove unnessary methods after last reimplementations
* Reduce the number of constraints in `AugmentedFCircuit`
For the test `folding::nova::tests::test_ivc`
Before: 138240
After: 86756 (1.6x improvement)
Two notable optimization techniques:
1. Instead of allocating two witness variables `a, b` and enforce their equality by calling `a.conditional_enforce_equal(&b, &cond)`, we can avoid the allocation of `b` and directly set `b = a`. The former might be costly due to the checks in allocation and `conditional_enforce_equal`. See `nova/circuits.rs` for details.
2. Before this commit, `NonNativeFieldVar::to_constraint_field` was majorly called for generating the inputs (preimage) to hash functions. However, it turns out that the underlying conversion strategy (optimized for weight) is not optimal for reducing the length of hash preimage. We can go further by maximizing the number of bits per limb, thereby minimizing the preimage length. See `circuits/nonnative.rs` for details.
* Format
* Fix clippy warnings
* Move the comments to the right position
* Cleanup unnecessary code
* Compute Decider's CM challenges in Groth16 circuit, link G16 & KZG proofs in Onchain Decider, refactor CommitmentScheme trait
- Refactor commitment package
- Refactor `Commitment` trait and the kzg, ipa, pedersen impls
- Add methods to prove & verify given challenges (not computing them in-method)
- Add KZG challenges computation in decider_eth_circuit
- Add cmE & cmW KZG proving & verification in DeciderEth
- Link Decider's Groth16 proof & KZG proofs data
- Fix point to bytes arkworks inconsistency
- Patch ark_curves to use a cherry-picked version with bn254::constraints & grumpkin for v0.4.0 (once arkworks v0.5.0 is released this will no longer be needed)
* DeciderEthCircuit: Add check eval=p(c) for E & W
The check is temporary disabled due
https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/folding-schemes/issues/80,
but the public inputs and logic are there, to be able to continue the
other parts development while issue #80 is solved.
* Change CycleFold approach:
Instead of having a single CycleFold circuit that checks the 2 forign
scalarmul of the main circuit instances, now there are 2 separated
CycleFold circuits each of them checking a single foreign scalarmul.
Increasing the number of constraints of the AugmentedFCircuit, but
reducing the number of constraints in the CycleFold circuit, which will
translate into reducing the number of constraints in the Decider
circuit.
* CycleFold circuits checks in AugmentedFCircuit:
- update NonNativeAffineVar to work with NonNativeFieldVar directly
instead of FpVar comming from NonNativeFieldVar.to_constraint_field()
- include in AugmentedFCircuit intermediate steps inbetween CycleFold
circuits, and update the internal checks of the CycleFold circuits
Pending to document the new CycleFold circuits approach and better
variable namings, rm unwraps, etc
* matrix_vec_mul_sparse gadget: skip value * v[col_i] mul when value==1
Saves a notable amount of constraints since there is a notable amount of
1 values in R1CS matrices.
* Reuse computed vector of U_i
Reuse computed vector of U_i, saving 4k constraints in AugmentedFCircuit.
* fixes post last rebase to main
* rm test_augmentedfcircuit since it is already tested in test_ivc (and is a slow computation)
* rm dbg!()
* small fixes after last main rebase
* Add IPA commitment native implementation
* Add IPA Gadget verifier
* polish Pedersen & IPA, add blind bool param to IPA
* Optimize IPA gadget constraints (and native):
- optimize <s,b> computation from linear to log time
- optimize s computation from k*2^k to k*(2^k)/2
* add small optimization: delegate u_i^-1 to prover and just check u_i*u_i^-1==1 in verifier circuit
* IPA polish and document
* Add 'BLIND' parameter to CommitmentProver trait (and to Pedersen and KZG impls). Fit IPA into CommitmentProver trait.
* rename 'BLIND' to 'H' (hiding) in commitment
* IPA: rm u_invs from Proof and compute them incircuit
* Update IPA's build_s & gadget to use Halo2 approach following @han0110 's suggestion.
This reduced further the amount of constraints needed.
- for k=4: -9k constraints (-7%)
- for k=8: -473k constr (-31%)
- for k=9: -1123k constr (-35%)
- for k=10: -2578k constr (-39%)
And now IPA verification (without amortizing) is very close to Pedersen
verification (in-circuits).
