A General Framework for Bounds for Higher-Dimensional Orthogonal Packing Problems
Higher-dimensional orthogonal packing problems have a wide range of practical applications, including packing, cutting, and scheduling. In the context of a branch-and-bound framewo...

The complexity of first-order and monadic second-order logic revisited
The model-checking problem for a logic L on a class C of structures asks whether a given L-sentence holds in a given structure in C. In this paper, we give super-exponential lower...

Bounds for Estimation of Covariance Matrices From Heterogeneous Samples
Abstract--This correspondence derives lower bounds on the meansquare error (MSE) for the estimation of a covariance matrix , using samples k = 1; . . . ; K, whose covariance matric...

On generalized Kneser hypergraph colorings
In Ziegler (2002), the second author presented a lower bound for the chromatic numbers of hypergraphs KGr sssS, “generalized r-uniform Kneser hypergraphs with intersection multi...

Quadrature in Besov spaces on the Euclidean sphere
Let q ≥ 1 be an integer, Sq denote the unit sphere embedded in the Euclidean space Rq+1, and µq be its Lebesgue surface measure. We establish upper and lower bounds for sup f...

On the complexity of deciding connectedness and computing Betti numbers of a complex algebraic variety
We extend the lower bounds on the complexity of computing Betti numbers proved in [6] to complex algebraic varieties. More precisely, we first prove that the problem of deciding ...

An Improved Sphere-Packing Bound for Finite-Length Codes Over Symmetric Memoryless Channels
This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...

Expanders and time-restricted branching programs
The replication number of a branching program is the minimum number R such that along every accepting computation at most R variables are tested more than once; the sets of variab...

Testing Triangle-Freeness in General Graphs
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether a graph is triangle-free, and more generally, whether it is H-free, for a fixed subgraph H. The algorithm should accept gr...
