Lower bounds for local search by quantum arguments
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...

A Lower Bound on Web Services Composition
A web service is modeled here as a finite state machine. A composition problem for web services is to decide if a given web service can be constructed from a given set of web serv...

Bounds on the Size of Small Depth Circuits for Approximating Majority
In this paper, we show that for every constant 0 < < 1/2 and for every constant d 2, the minimum size of a depth d Boolean circuit that -approximates Majority function on n ...

Lower bounds on multiple sequence alignment using exact 3-way alignment
Background: Multiple sequence alignment is fundamental. Exponential growth in computation time appears to be inevitable when an optimal alignment is required for many sequences. E...
