The Complexity of Distributions
Complexity theory typically studies the complexity of computing a function h(x) : {0, 1}m {0, 1}n of a given input x. A few works have suggested to study the complexity of genera...

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...

Lower Bounds for Noisy Wireless Networks using Sampling Algorithms
We show a tight lower bound of Ω(N log log N) on the number of transmissions required to compute several functions (including the parity function and the majority function) in a...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...

Lower Bounds for Non-Black-Box Zero Knowledge
We show new lower bounds and impossibility results for general (possibly non-black-box) zero-knowledge proofs and arguments. Our main results are that, under reasonable complexity...
