Improved bounds for the randomized decision tree complexity of recursive majority
We consider the randomized decision tree complexity of the recursive 3-majority function. For evaluating a height h formulae, we prove a lower bound for the -two-sided-error rando...

Lower bounds for number-in-hand multiparty communication complexity, made easy
In this paper we prove lower bounds on randomized multiparty communication complexity, both in the blackboard model (where each message is written on a blackboard for all players ...

Multi-dimensional Rankings, Program Termination, and Complexity Bounds of Flowchart Programs
Abstract. Proving the termination of a flowchart program can be done by exhibiting a ranking function, i.e., a function from the program states to a wellfounded set, which strictl...

Query Complexity Lower Bounds for Reconstruction of Codes
We investigate the problem of local reconstruction, as defined by Saks and Seshadhri (2008), in the context of error correcting codes. The first problem we address is that of me...

A tight bound on the worst-case number of comparisons for Floyd's heap construction algorithm
Abstract. In this paper a tight bound on the worst-case number of comparisons for Floyd's well known heap construction algorithm, is derived. It is shown that at most 2n - 2
