Polynomial Vicinity Circuits and Nonlinear Lower Bounds
We study families of Boolean circuits with the property that the number of gates at distance t fanning into or out of any given gate in a circuit is bounded above by a polynomial ...

Quantum and Randomized Lower Bounds for Local Search on Vertex-Transitive Graphs
We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...

Using Lower Bounds During Dynamic BDD Minimization
Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams BDDs are a data structure for representation and manipulation of Boolean functions often applied in VLSI CAD. The choice of the variable orderin...

New upper and lower bounds for randomized and quantum local search
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...

Near-Optimal Lower Bounds on the Multi-Party Communication Complexity of Set Disjointness
We study the communication complexity of the set disjointness problem in the general multi-party model. For t players, each holding a subset of a universe of size n, we establish ...
