Lower Bounds for Additive Spanners, Emulators, and More
An additive spanner of an unweighted undirected graph G with distortion d is a subgraph H such that for any two vertices u, v ∈ G, we have δH(u, v) ≤ δG(u, v) + d. For every...

Contraction and Treewidth Lower Bounds
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

Time-Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity and Solovay Functions
Abstract. A Solovay function is a computable upper bound g for prefixfree Kolmogorov complexity K that is nontrivial in the sense that g agrees with K, up to some additive constan...

Eliciting Forecasts from Self-interested Experts: Scoring Rules for Decision Makers
Scoring rules for eliciting expert predictions of random variables are usually developed assuming that experts derive utility only from the quality of their predictions (e.g., sco...
