Lower Bounds Using Kolmogorov Complexity
Abstract. In this paper, we survey a few recent applications of Kolmogorov complexity to lower bounds in several models of computation. We consider KI complexity of Boolean functio...

Exploiting Inference Rules to Compute Lower Bounds for MAX-SAT Solving
In this paper we present a general logical framework for (weighted) MAX-SAT problem, and study properties of inference rules for branch and bound MAX-SAT solver. Several rules, wh...

A tight lower bound for restricted pir protocols
We show that any 1-round 2-server Private Information Retrieval Protocol where the answers are 1-bit long must ask questions that are at least n - 2 bits long, which is nearly equa...

A Near-Tight Lower Bound on the Time Complexity of Distributed Minimum-Weight Spanning Tree Construction
This paper presents a lower bound of (D + n/ log n) on the time required for the distributed construction of a minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) in weighted n-vertex networks of ...

Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...
