The Linear-Array Conjecture in Communication Complexity is False
A linear array network consists of k + 1 processors P0; P1; : : : ; Pk with links only between Pi and Pi+1 0 i k. It is required to compute some boolean function f x; y in this n...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...

Computing Betti Numbers via Combinatorial Laplacians
We use the Laplacian and power method to compute Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. This has a number of advantages over other methods, both in theory and in practice. It requ...

Towards an Analysis of Local Optimization Algorithms
We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...

Deterministic Restrictions in Circuit Complexity
We study the complexity of computing Boolean functions using AND, OR and NOT gates. We show that a circuit of depth d with S gates can be made to output a constant by setting O(S1...

Adaptively Secure Multi-Party Computation
A fundamental problem in designing secure multi-party protocols is how to deal with adaptive adversaries i.e., adversaries that may choose the corrupted parties during the course ...
