Lower Bounds for Multi-Player Pointer Jumping
We consider the k-layer pointer jumping problem in the one-way multi-party number-on-the-forehead communication model. Sufficiently strong lower bounds for the problem would have...

Theoretical Limits for Estimation of Vital Signal Parameters Using Impulse Radio UWB
— In this paper, Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for estimation of vital signal parameters, such as respiration and heart-beat rates, using ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses are derive...

Observability index selection for robot calibration
— This paper relates 5 observability indexes for robot calibration to the “alphabet optimalities” from the experimental design literature. These 5 observability indexes are s...

Tight Bounds of the Generalized Marcum Q-Function Based on Log-Concavity
—In this paper, we manage to prove the log-concavity of the generalized Marcum Q-function Qν (a, b) with respect to its order ν on [1, ∞). The proof relies on a powerful math...

Lower Bounds for Noisy Wireless Networks using Sampling Algorithms
We show a tight lower bound of Ω(N log log N) on the number of transmissions required to compute several functions (including the parity function and the majority function) in a...

Shallow-Low-Light Trees, and Tight Lower Bounds for Euclidean Spanners
We show that for every n-point metric space M and positive integer k, there exists a spanning tree T with unweighted diameter O(k) and weight w(T) = O(k · n1/k ) · w(MST(M)), an...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Coresets for polytope distance
Following recent work of Clarkson, we translate the coreset framework to the problems of finding the point closest to the origin inside a polytope, finding the shortest distance...

Lower Bounds on Quantum Multiparty Communication Complexity
A major open question in communication complexity is if randomized and quantum communication are polynomially related for all total functions. So far, no gap larger than a power o...
