Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Betweenness Centrality : Algorithms and Lower Bounds
One of the most fundamental problems in large-scale network analysis is to determine the importance of a particular node in a network. Betweenness centrality is the most widely us...

Quantum lower bounds by quantum arguments
We propose a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. Instead of a classical adversary that runs the algorithm with one input and then modifies the input,...

Tight Bounds on the Round Complexity of Distributed 1-Solvable Tasks
A distributed task T is 1-solvable if there exists a protocol that solves it in the presence of (at most) one crash failure. A precise characterization of the 1-solvable tasks was...

Lower Bounds Using Kolmogorov Complexity
Abstract. In this paper, we survey a few recent applications of Kolmogorov complexity to lower bounds in several models of computation. We consider KI complexity of Boolean functio...
