We consider the deterministic and the randomized decision tree complexities for Boolean functions, denoted DC(f) and RC(f), respectively. A major open problem is how small RC(f) ca...
CSP search algorithms are exponential in the worst-case. A trivial upper bound on the time complexity of CSP search algorithms is O∗ (dn ), where n and d are the number of variab...
In evaluating the performance of online algorithms for search trees, one wants to compare them to the best offline algorithm available. In this paper we lower bound the cost of an...
Complexity bounds for algorithms for robotic motion and manipulation can be misleading when they are constructed with pathological `worst-case' scenarios that rarely appear i...
We consider the problem of testing 3-colorability in the bounded-degree model. We show that, for small enough ε, every tester for 3colorability must have query complexity Ω(n)....
