Norms, XOR Lemmas, and Lower Bounds for GF(2) Polynomials and Multiparty Protocols
This paper presents a unified and simple treatment of basic questions concerning two computational models: multiparty communication complexity and GF(2) polynomials. The key is t...

Lower Bounds for Distributed Coin-Flipping and Randomized Consensus
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...

On Smoothed Analysis of Quicksort and Hoare's Find
We provide a smoothed analysis of Hoare’s find algorithm and we revisit the smoothed analysis of quicksort. Hoare’s find algorithm – often called quickselect – is an easy...

A Geometric Approach to Lower Bounds for Approximate Near-Neighbor Search and Partial Match
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...
