Alternation-Trading Proofs, Linear Programming, and Lower Bounds
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
The proofs of these lower bounds follow a certain proof-by-contradiction strategy that we call alternation-trading. An important open problem is to determine how powerful such proofs can possibly be. ...
We prove that the search for better lower bounds can often be turned into a problem of solving a large series of linear programming instances. ...
Thanks to Scott Aaronson for useful discussions about irrelativization, and thanks to the STACS referees for very thoughtful comments. ...

Alternation-Trading Proofs, Linear Programming, and Lower Bounds
2013
ACM Transactions on Computation Theory
The size lower bound can be slightly strengthened to quasi-polynomials and other less natural functions. ...
The algorithms combine known properties of ACC with fast rectangular matrix multiplication and dynamic programming, while the second step requires a strengthening of the author's prior work. ...
I especially thank Andreas for suggesting the zeta transform as an alternative proof for Lemma 4.2. ...

For one-time-only branching programs we prove for k-clique func- tions large polynomial lower bounds if k is fixed, and exponential lower bounds for k increasing with n. ...
Summary: “Branching program depth and the logarithm of branch- ing program complexity are lower bounds on time and space re- quirements for any reasonable model of sequential computation. ...
The Pareto Frontier for Random Mechanisms
2016
Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Economics and Computation - EC '16
To illustrate its shape, we apply our results for two different desiderata, namely Plurality and Veto scoring, in settings with 3 alternatives and up to 18 agents. comments on this work. ...
We study the trade-offs between strategyproofness and other desiderata, such as efficiency or fairness, that often arise in the design of random ordinal mechanisms. ...
Alternatively, we can incorporate the property as additional constraints in the linear program FindOpt directly. ...

Time-space lower bounds for satisfiability
2005
Journal of the ACM
Our lower bounds apply to nondeterministic linear time and almost all natural NP-complete problems known. ...
In fact, they even apply to the class of languages that can be solved on a nondeterministic machine in linear time and space n 1/c . Our proofs follow the paradigm of indirect diagonalization. ...
Acknowledgments DvM would like to thank Rahul Santhanam, Madhu Sudan, and Iannis Tourlakis for discussions about the topic of this paper and/or comments on earlier drafts. ...

Multiparty protocols, pseudorandom generators for logspace, and time-space trade-offs

Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
We also give a new length-width trade-off for oblivious branching programs; in particular, our bound implies new lower bounds on the size of arbitrary branching programs, or on the size of Boolean formulas ...
We give a tight time-space trade-off of the form TS = @(n'), for general, k-head Turing machines; the bounds hold for a function that can be computed in linear time and constant space by a k + l-head Turing ...
This time-space trade-off implies some new lower bounds for general branching program size and for Boolean formula size. ...

The lower bound is contrasted by a surprising linear up- per bound for monotone span programs for a function that needs monotone circuit size n®! ...
Span programs are a linear algebraic model for computing Boolean functions. In the paper first superpolynomial lower bounds are ob- tained for monotone span programs computing explicit functions. ...
Effective securities in arbitrage-free markets with bid–ask spreads at liquidation: a linear programming characterization
2006
Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control
Although the minimum-cost super-replication problem is non-linear, we introduce an auxiliary problem that allows us to characterize no-arbitrage via linear programming techniques. ...
We introduce the notion of effective new security and show that effectiveness restricts the no-arbitrage bid and ask prices of a new security to the interval defined by the minimum-cost problem. ...
Second, we supply a linear programming-based proof of the fact that no-arbitrage per se imposes only an upper bound on the bid and a lower bound on the ask price of a new security. ...

Time–Space Tradeoffs for Satisfiability

Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
In particular, SAT cannot be solved deterministically by a Turing machine using quasilinear time and √ n space. We also give lower bounds for log-space uniform NC 1 circuits and branching programs. ...
We combine this work with a result of Nepomnjaščiȋ that shows that a nondeterministic computation of super linear time and sublinear space can be simulated in alternating linear time. ...
The author thanks Harry Buhrman for many initial discussions on this paper and for allowing the inclusion of Theorem 5.1 and its proof in this paper. ...

On the complexity of bilinear forms
1995
Proceedings of the twenty-seventh annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '95
This paper provides some new lower and upper bounds on computing bilinear forms by arithmetic circuits. The complexity measures considered are circuit size, formula size and time-space trade-offs. ...
Acknowledgements We are greatful to Allan Borodin for motivating us to look at time-space trade-off question, as well as for many illuminating converstions. ...
We conclude this section with a weak lower bound on time-space trade-offs. While weak, note that it implies that linear time algorithms require linear space. ...
