A trace bound for the hereditary discrepancy
Let A be the incidence matrix of a set system with m sets and n points, m ≤ n, and let t = tr M, where M = AT A. Finally, let σ = tr M2 be the sum of squares of the elements of ...

Improved bounds for cops-and-robber pursuit
We prove that n cops can capture (that is, some cop can get less than unit distance from) a robber in a continuous square region with side length less than √ 5n and hence that n/...

Adiabatic quantum state generation and statistical zero knowledge
The design of new quantum algorithms has proven to be an extremely difficult task. This paper considers a different approach to the problem, by studying the problem of 'quant...

Quantum Separation of Local Search and Fixed Point Computation
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...

Brief announcement: minimum spanning trees and cone-based topology control
Consider a setting where nodes can vary their transmission power thereby changing the network topology, the goal of topology control is to reduce the transmission power while ensu...
