We show that a large fraction of the data-structure lower bounds known today in fact follow by reduction from the communication complexity of lopsided (asymmetric) set disjointness...
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...
—Consider the following Simultaneous Message Passing (SMP) model for computing a relation f ⊆ X ×Y ×Z. In this model Alice, on input x ∈ X and Bob, on input y ∈ Y, send o...
Topological changes in mobile ad hoc networks frequently render routing paths unusable. Such recurrent path failures have detrimental effects on the network ability to support QoS...
