Quantum Separation of Local Search and Fixed Point Computation
In this paper, we give a lower bound of (n(d-1)/2 ) on the quantum query complexity for finding a fixed point of a discrete Brouwer function over grid [1 : n]d . Our bound is near...

Fast Approximate Quantitative Visibility for Complex Scenes
Ray tracing and Monte-Carlo based global illumination, as well as radiosity and other finite-element based global illumination methods, all require repeated evaluation of quantita...

Bounded LSH for Similarity Search in Peer-to-Peer File Systems
Similarity search has been widely studied in peer-to-peer environments. In this paper, we propose the Bounded Locality Sensitive Hashing (Bounded LSH) method for similarity search...

Inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...
