Finding Lower Bounds for Nondeterministic State Complexity Is Hard
We investigate the following lower bound methods for regular languages: The fooling set technique, the extended fooling set technique, and the biclique edge cover technique. It is ...

Lower Bounds for Quantile Estimation in Random-Order and Multi-pass Streaming
We present lower bounds on the space required to estimate the quantiles of a stream of numerical values. Quantile estimation is perhaps the most studied problem in the data stream ...

A linear lower bound on index size for text retrieval
Most information-retrieval systems preprocess the data to produce an auxiliary index structure. Empirically, it has been observed that there is a tradeoff between query response t...

Soft car sequencing with colors: Lower bounds and optimality proofs
This paper is a study of the car sequencing problem, when feature spacing constraints are soft and colors of vehicles are taken into account. Both pseudo-polynomial algorithms and ...
