Lower Bounding Klondike Solitaire with Monte-Carlo Planning
Despite its ubiquitous presence, very little is known about the odds of winning the simple card game of Klondike Solitaire. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the use o...

Algorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized by Clique-width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

Lower Bounds for Testing Function Isomorphism
—We prove new lower bounds in the area of property testing of boolean functions. Specifically, we study the problem of testing whether a boolean function f is isomorphic to a ...

A Lower Bound on the Redundancy of Arithmetic-Type Delay Constrained Coding
In a previous paper we derived an upper bound on the redundancy of an arithmetic-type encoder for a memoryless source, designed to meet a finite endto-end strict delay constraint....

Bit-probe lower bounds for succinct data structures
We prove lower bounds on the redundancy necessary to represent a set S of objects using a number of bits close to the information-theoretic minimum log2 |S|, while answering vario...
