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...

Cross-Composition: A New Technique for Kernelization Lower Bounds
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Property Testing Lower Bounds via Communication Complexity
We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...

Lower bounds for local search by quantum arguments
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...

The Quantum Adversary Method and Classical Formula Size Lower Bounds
We introduce two new complexity measures for Boolean functions, which we name sumPI and maxPI. The quantity sumPI has been emerging through a line of research on quantum query com...
