We improve upon indirect diagonalization arguments for lower bounds on explicit problems within the polynomial hierarchy. Our contributions are summarized as follows.
We obtain the first nontrivial time-space lower bound for quantum algorithms solving problems related to satisfiability. Our bound applies to MajSAT and MajMajSAT, which are compl...
Abstract: Although a quantum state requires exponentially many classical bits to describe, the laws of quantum mechanics impose severe restrictions on how that state can be accesse...
Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...
