Lower Bounds Using Kolmogorov Complexity
Abstract. In this paper, we survey a few recent applications of Kolmogorov complexity to lower bounds in several models of computation. We consider KI complexity of Boolean functio...

Lower Bounds for Testing Function Isomorphism
—We prove new lower bounds in the area of property testing of boolean functions. Specifically, we study the problem of testing whether a boolean function f is isomorphic to a ...

On Matrix Rigidity and Locally Self-Correctable Codes
We describe a new approach for the problem of finding rigid matrices, as posed by Valiant [Val77], by connecting it to the, seemingly unrelated, problem of proving lower bounds f...

The Round Complexity of Verifiable Secret Sharing Revisited
The round complexity of interactive protocols is one of their most important complexity measures. In this work we prove that existing lower bounds for the round complexity of VSS c...

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 )...

Energy complexity of optical computations
This paper provides lower bounds on the energy consumption and demonstrates an energy-time trade-off in optical computations. All the lower bounds are shown to have the matching u...

Optimal Parallel Construction of Hamiltonian Cycles and Spanning Trees in Random Graphs
We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...

Threshold Schemes with Disenrollment
Blakley, Blakley, Chan and Massey conjectured a lower bound on the entropy of broadcast messages in threshold schemes with disenrollment. In an effort to examine the conjecture, w...
