Wooden Geometric Puzzles: Design and Hardness Proofs
We discuss some new geometric puzzles and the complexity of their extension to arbitrary sizes. For gate puzzles and two-layer puzzles we prove NP-completeness of solving them. No...

Construction of very hard functions for multiparty communication complexity
We consider the multiparty communication model de ned in 4] using the formalism from 8]. First, we correct an inaccuracy in the proof of the fundamental result of 6] providing a lo...

Hardness of Parameterized Resolution
Parameterized Resolution and, moreover, a general framework for parameterized proof complexity was introduced by Dantchev, Martin, and Szeider [16] (FOCS’07). In that paper, Dan...

New direct-product testers and 2-query PCPs
The "direct product code" of a function f gives its values on all k-tuples (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This basic construct underlies "hardness amplification" in c...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...
