A Linear Round Lower Bound for Lovasz-Schrijver SDP Relaxations of Vertex Cover
We study semidefinite programming relaxations of Vertex Cover arising from repeated applications of the LS+ “lift-and-project” method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting from th...

Lower bounds for linear degeneracy testing
Abstract. In the late nineties, Erickson proved a remarkable lower bound on the decision tree complexity of one of the central problems of computational geometry: given n numbers, ...

Strong Lower Bounds for a Survivable Network Design Problem
We consider a generalization of the Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem on a graph with special redundancy requirements on a subset of the customer nodes suitable to model a rea...

A combinatorial characterization of resolution width
We provide a characterization of the resolution width introduced in the context of propositional proof complexity in terms of the existential pebble game introduced in the context...

Bounds on the rate of 2-D bit-stuffing encoders
A method for bounding the rate of bit-stuffing encoders for 2-D constraints is presented. Instead of considering the original encoder, we consider a related one which is quasistati...
