We present a new variant of the quantum adversary method. All adversary methods give lower bounds on the quantum query complexity of a function by bounding the change of a progres...
We introduce a new approach to characterizing the unobserved portion of a distribution, which provides sublinear-sample additive estimators for a class of properties that includes...
Let B be a collection of n arbitrary balls in R3 . We establish an almost-tight upper bound of O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0, on the complexity of the space F(B) of all the lines t...
Meeting deadlines is a key requirement in safe realtime systems. Worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks are needed for safe planning. Contemporary worst-case timing analysis t...
In computational social choice, one important problem is to take the votes of a subelectorate (subset of the voters), and summarize them using a small number of bits. This needs t...
