Quantum Separation of Local Search and Fixed Point Computation
In this paper, we give a lower bound of (n(d-1)/2 ) on the quantum query complexity for finding a fixed point of a discrete Brouwer function over grid [1 : n]d . Our bound is near...

Estimating Entropy and Entropy Norm on Data Streams
We consider the problem of computing information theoretic functions such as entropy on a data stream, using sublinear space. Our first result deals with a measure we call the &quo...
