Tight Lower Bounds for Certain Parameterized NP-Hard Problems
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

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...

A Multi-Round Communication Lower Bound for Gap Hamming and Some Consequences
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...

A Tight Lower Bound for the Steiner Point Removal Problem on Trees
Gupta (SODA'01) considered the Steiner Point Removal (SPR) problem on trees. Given an edge-weighted tree T and a subset S of vertices called terminals in the tree, find an edg...
