New upper and lower bounds for randomized and quantum local search
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...

Shallow-Low-Light Trees, and Tight Lower Bounds for Euclidean Spanners
We show that for every n-point metric space M and positive integer k, there exists a spanning tree T with unweighted diameter O(k) and weight w(T) = O(k · n1/k ) · w(MST(M)), an...

Observed Lower Bounds for Random 3-SAT Phase Transition Density Using Linear Programming
We introduce two incomplete polynomial time algorithms to solve satisfiability problems which both use Linear Programming (LP) techniques. First, the FlipFlop LP attempts to simul...

Automatic Processor Lower Bound Formulas for Array Computations
In the directed acyclic graph (dag) model of algorithms, consider the following problem for precedence-constrained multiprocessor schedules for array computations: Given a sequenc...

A linear lower bound on index size for text retrieval
Most information-retrieval systems preprocess the data to produce an auxiliary index structure. Empirically, it has been observed that there is a tradeoff between query response t...
