Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...

Contraction and Treewidth Lower Bounds
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

Lower Bounds for Multi-Player Pointer Jumping
We consider the k-layer pointer jumping problem in the one-way multi-party number-on-the-forehead communication model. Sufficiently strong lower bounds for the problem would have...

Communication Complexity and Its Applications
Here we prove an asymptotically optimal lower bound on the information complexity of the k-party disjointness function with the unique intersection promise, an important special ca...

Reconstructing Evolution of Natural Languages: Complexity and Parameterized Algorithms
In a recent article, Nakhleh, Ringe and Warnow introduced perfect phylogenetic networks--a model of language evolution where languages do not evolve via clean speciation--and form...
