We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of...
A pseudo-Boolean function is a real-valued function defined on {0, 1}n . A k-bounded function is a pseudo-Boolean function that can be expressed as a sum of subfunctions each of w...
Iterative solvers such as the Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel relaxation methods are important, but time-consuming building blocks of many scientific and engineering applications. The per...
We shall give simpler proofs of some lower bounds on monotone computations. We describe a simple condition on combinatorial structures, such that the rank of the matrix associated...
We study a natural network creation game, in which each node locally tries to minimize its local diameter or its local average distance to other nodes, by swapping one incident ed...
