Abstract: We show that there is a sequence of explicit multilinear polynomials $P_n(x_1,ldots,x_n)inmathbbR[x_1,ldots,x_n]$ with non-negative coefficients that lies in monotone VNP such that any monotone algebraic circuit for $P_n$ must have size $exp(Omega(n)).$ This builds on (and strengthens) a result of Yehudayoff (2018) who showed a lower bound of $exp(ildeOmega(sqrtn)).$
