Tight bounds for the partial-sums problem
We close the gaps between known lower and upper bounds for the online partial-sums problem in the RAM and group models of computation. If elements are chosen from an abstract grou...

Frugality in path auctions
We consider the problem of picking (buying) an inexpensive s-t path in a graph where edges are owned by independent (selfish) agents, and the cost of an edge is known to its owner...

Complexities for generalized models of self-assembly
In this paper, we extend Rothemund and Winfree's examination of the tile complexity of tile self-assembly [6]. They provided a lower bound of ( log N log log N ) on the tile ...

A linear lower bound on index size for text retrieval
Most information-retrieval systems preprocess the data to produce an auxiliary index structure. Empirically, it has been observed that there is a tradeoff between query response t...

Theoretical Bounds on the Size of Condensed Representations
Abstract. Recent studies demonstrate the usefulness of condensed representations as a semantic compression technique for the frequent itemsets. Especially in inductive databases, c...

Finding Lower Bounds for Nondeterministic State Complexity Is Hard
We investigate the following lower bound methods for regular languages: The fooling set technique, the extended fooling set technique, and the biclique edge cover technique. It is ...

Why Robots Need Maps
Abstract. A large group of autonomous, mobile entities e.g. robots initially placed at some arbitrary node of the graph has to jointly visit all nodes (not necessarily all edges) a...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Earth mover distance over high-dimensional spaces
The Earth Mover Distance (EMD) between two equalsize sets of points in Rd is defined to be the minimum cost of a bipartite matching between the two pointsets. It is a natural metr...

Distance Reduction in Mobile Wireless Communication: Lower Bound Analysis and Practical Attainment
— The transmission energy required for a wireless communication increases superlinearly with the communication distance. In a mobile wireless network, nodal movement can be explo...
