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...

Lower Bounds for Swapping Arthur and Merlin
We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...

An Improved Lower Bound for the Complementation of Rabin Automata
Automata on infinite words (ω-automata) have wide applications in formal language theory as well as in modeling and verifying reactive systems. Complementation of ωautomata is ...

A Lower Bound on Wait-Free Counting
A counting protocol (mod m) consists of shared memory bits - referred to as the counter - and of a procedure for incrementing the counter value by 1 (mod m). The procedure may be ...

Upper and Lower Bounds on Sizes of Finite Bisimulations of Pfaffian Dynamical Systems
In this paper we study a class of dynamical systems defined by Pfaffian maps. It is a sub-class of o-minimal dynamical systems which capture rich continuous dynamics and yet can be...
