Basic network creation games
We study a natural network creation game, in which each node locally tries to minimize its local diameter or its local average distance to other nodes, by swapping one incident ed...

Testing Juntas
We consider the problem of testing functions for the property of being a k-junta (i.e., of depending on at most k variables). Fischer, Kindler, Ron, Safra, and Samorodnitsky (J. Co...

Better Bounds on Online Unit Clustering
Unit Clustering is the problem of dividing a set of points from a metric space into a minimal number of subsets such that the points in each subset are enclosable by a unit ball. W...

On the complexity of sets of free lines and line segments among balls in three dimensions
We present two new fundamental lower bounds on the worst-case combinatorial complexity of sets of free lines and sets of maximal free line segments in the presence of balls in thr...

Lower Bounds on the Sample Complexity of Exploration in the Multi-armed Bandit Problem
We consider the Multi-armed bandit problem under the PAC (“probably approximately correct”) model. It was shown by Even-Dar et al. [5] that given n arms, it suffices to play th...

Near-Optimal Lower Bounds on the Multi-Party Communication Complexity of Set Disjointness
We study the communication complexity of the set disjointness problem in the general multi-party model. For t players, each holding a subset of a universe of size n, we establish ...

Lower bounds for predecessor searching in the cell probe model
We consider a fundamental problem in data structures, static predecessor searching: Given a subset S of size n from the universe [m], store S so that queries of the form “What i...

Polynomial Degree vs. Quantum Query Complexity
The degree of a polynomial representing (or approximating) a function f is a lower bound for the quantum query complexity of f. This observation has been a source of many lower bo...

Quantum Search of Spatial Regions
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...

Online Scheduling of Equal-Length Jobs: Randomization and Restarts Help
We consider the following scheduling problem. The input is a set of jobs with equal processing times, where each job is specified by its release time and deadline. The goal is to ...
