This short paper establishes lower bounds on the time complexity of algorithms solving the generic broadcast problem. The paper shows that (a) to deliver messages in one round, no...
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...
This paper studies the dynamic bin packing problem, in which items arrive and depart at arbitrary time. We want to pack a sequence of unit fractions items (i.e., items with sizes ...
We define and solve a simple extension of the ski-rental problem [4]. In the classical version, the algorithm needs to decide when to switch from renting to buying. In our version...
In this paper we study on-line windows scheduling (WS) of temporary items. In a broadcasting system, there are some broadcast channels, each can broadcast one item in one time unit...
