Lower bounds for dynamic connectivity
We prove an (lg n) cell-probe lower bound on maintaining connectivity in dynamic graphs, as well as a more general trade-off between updates and queries. Our bound holds even if t...

Lower Bounds for Local Monotonicity Reconstruction from Transitive-Closure Spanners
Abstract. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, a ktransitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (V, EH ) that has (1) the same transitive...

On lower bounds for MAC layer contention in CSMA/CA-based wireless networks
Wireless LANs operating within unlicensed frequency bands require random access schemes such as CSMA/CA, so that wireless networks from different administrative domains (for exam...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Computing Lower Expectations with Kuznetsov's Independence Condition
Kuznetsov’s condition says that variables X and Y are independent when any product of bounded functions f(X) and g(Y) behaves in a certain way: the interval of expected values E...
