Limits on the ability of quantum states to convey classical messages
We revisit the problem of conveying classical messages by transmitting quantum states, and derive new, optimal bounds on the number of quantum bits required for this task. Much of...

A tight lower bound for job scheduling with cancellation
The Job Scheduling with Cancellation problem is a variation of classical scheduling problems in which jobs can be cancelled while waiting for execution. In this paper we prove a t...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Geometric Searching over the Rationals
We revisit classical geometric search problems under the assumption of rational coordinates. Our main result is a tight bound for point separation, ie, to determine whether n given...

Hardness vs. Randomness within Alternating Time
We study the complexity of building pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with logarithmic seed length from hard functions. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1}l → {0, 1} ...

Connectivity of wireless multihop networks in a shadow fading environment
This article analyzes the connectivity of multihop radio networks in a log-normal shadow fading environment. Assuming the nodes have equal transmission capabilities and are randoml...

Optimal Communication Complexity of Generic Multicast Key Distribution
We prove a tight lower bound for generic protocols for secure multicast key distribution where the messages sent by the group manager for rekeying the group are obtained by arbitra...

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...
