—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 ...
Abstract—Using the Tile Assembly Model proposed by Rothemund and Winfree, we give two lower bounds on the minimum number of tile types needed to uniquely assemble a shape at temp...
d abstract) Nathan Segerlind∗ Sam Buss† Russell Impagliazzo‡ We prove a new switching lemma that works for restrictions that set only a small fraction of the variables and i...

We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This ...
