Average-case lower bounds for the plurality problem
Given a set of n elements, each of which is colored one of c 2 colors, we must determine an element of the plurality (most frequently occurring) color by pairwise equal/unequal co...

Lower bounds on multiple sequence alignment using exact 3-way alignment
Background: Multiple sequence alignment is fundamental. Exponential growth in computation time appears to be inevitable when an optimal alignment is required for many sequences. E...

Lower Bounds for the Noisy Broadcast Problem
We prove the first non-trivial (super linear) lower bound in the noisy broadcast model, defined by El Gamal in [6]. In this model there are n + 1 processors P0, P1, . . . , Pn, ...

Effective Lower Bounding Techniques for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
Linear Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO) is a widely used modeling framework in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Due to significant advances in Boolean Satisfiability (SAT), ...

A New Synchronous Lower Bound for Set Agreement
Abstract. We have a new proof of the lower bound that k-set agreement requires f/k + 1 rounds in a synchronous, message-passing model with f crash failures. The proof involves cons...
