On the inherent weakness of conditional primitives
Some well-known primitive operations, such as compare-and-swap, can be used, together with read and write, to implement any object in a wait-free manner. However, this paper shows ...

Trade-Off Lower Bounds for Stack Machines
—A space bounded Stack Machine is a regular Turing Machine with a read-only input tape, several space bounded read-write work tapes, and an unbounded stack. Stack Machines with a...

A lower bound for distributed averaging algorithms on the line graph
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...

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 )...

A lower bound for the tree-width of planar graphs with vital linkages
The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s0, t0), . . . , (sk, tk), whether there are k + 1 pairwise disjoint paths P0, . . . , Pk, such tha...
