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...

Lower bounds for modal logics
We give an exponential lower bound on number of proof-lines in the proof system K of modal logic, i.e., we give an example of K-tautologies 1, 2, . . . s.t. every K-proof of i must...

A note on exponential circuit lower bounds from derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games
We present an alternate proof of the recent result by Gutfreund and Kawachi that derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games into PNP implies linear-exponential circuit lower bounds for ENP...

Lower Bounds on the Rate-Distortion Function of Individual LDGM Codes
Abstract-- We consider lossy compression of a binary symmetric source by means of a low-density generator-matrix code. We derive two lower bounds on the rate distortion function wh...

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 ...
