Some Lower Bounds on Geometric Separability Problems
We obtain lower bounds in the algebraic computation tree model for deciding the separability of two disjoint point sets. In particular, we show (n log n) time lower bounds for sep...

A Spectral Approach to Lower Bounds
We establish a nonlinear lower bound for halfplane range searching over a group. Specifically, we show that summing up the weights of n (weighted) points within n halfplanes requir...

Lower bounds for linear degeneracy testing
Abstract. In the late nineties, Erickson proved a remarkable lower bound on the decision tree complexity of one of the central problems of computational geometry: given n numbers, ...

Lower Bounding Klondike Solitaire with Monte-Carlo Planning
Despite its ubiquitous presence, very little is known about the odds of winning the simple card game of Klondike Solitaire. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the use o...

An Optimal Randomised Cell Probe Lower Bound for Approximate Nearest Neighbour Searching
We consider the approximate nearest neighbour search problem on the Hamming cube {0, 1}d. We show that a randomised cell probe algorithm that uses polynomial storage and word size...
