Lower Bounds for Howard's Algorithm for Finding Minimum Mean-Cost Cycles
Howard's policy iteration algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms for finding optimal policies for controlling Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). When applied to we...

Quantum lower bound for the collision problem
The collision problem is to decide whether a function X : {1, . . . , n} {1, . . . , n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of...

An Exponential Lower Bound for the Parity Game Strategy Improvement Algorithm as We Know it
This paper presents a new lower bound for the discrete strategy improvement algorithm for solving parity games due to V¨oge and Jurdzi´nski. First, we informally show which stru...

Sufficient Conditions for Intractability over Black-Box Groups: Generic Lower Bounds for Generalized DL and DH Problems
Abstract. The generic (aka. black-box) group model is a valuable methodology for analyzing the computational hardness of number-theoretic problems used in cryptography. Since the p...
