Time-space lower bounds for satisfiability
2005
Journal of the ACM
We establish the first polynomial time-space lower bounds for satisfiability on general models of computation. ...
We also use that paradigm to prove time-space lower bounds for languages higher up in the polynomial-time hierarchy. ...

A time lower bound for satisfiability
2005
Theoretical Computer Science
For conondeterministic machines, we obtain a similar lower bound for any a such that a 3 < 1 + a/(d + 1). The same bounds apply to almost all natural NP-complete problems known. ...
We show that a deterministic Turing machine with one d-dimensional work tape and random access to the input cannot solve satisfiability in time n a for a < √ (d + 2)/(d + 1). ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank Ravi Kannan, Rahul Santhanam, and the anonymous ICALP referees for helpful discussions, pointers to the literature, and other suggestions. ...

A Survey of Lower Bounds for Satisfiability and Related Problems
2006
Foundations and Trends® in Theoretical Computer Science
In this article we survey the known lower bounds for the time and space complexity of satisfiability and closely related problems on deterministic, randomized, and quantum models with random access. ...
It is widely believed to be intractable, and yet till recently even a linear-time, logarithmic-space algorithm for satisfiability was not ruled out. ...
Acknowledgments I would like to thank Madhu Sudan for the opportunity and incentive to write this survey, James Finlay for his patience while I was writing it, all my coauthors for their collaboration ...

Time-Space Lower Bounds for the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy on Randomized Machines
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Our lower bounds for space-bounded alternating linear time require a stronger diagonalization result which is both time-and space-sensitive. Lemma 6 ([9]). ...
We establish the first polynomial-strength time-space lower bounds for problems in the lineartime hierarchy on randomized machines with two-sided error. ...
We are grateful to Emanuele Viola for pushing us to optimize the space parameter in Theorems 1 and 2. ...

Quadratic Time-Space Lower Bounds for Computing Natural Functions with a Random Oracle
2018
Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science
Note it is a major open problem to prove a time-space product lower bound of n 2−o(1) for the decision version of SAT, or even for the decision problem Majority-SAT. ...
As our lower bounds are based on R-way branching programs, they hold for any reasonable model of computation (e.g. log-word RAMs and multitape Turing machines). ...

Unitary signal constellations for differential space-time modulation with two transmit antennas: parametric codes, optimal designs, and bounds
2002
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
For the practical success of differential space-time modulation, it has been shown critical to design unitary space-time signal constellations with large diversity product which is a primary property for ...
Furthermore, by making use of the existing results in sphere packing and spherical codes, we provide several upper and lower bounds on the largest possible diversity Manuscript product and the largest ...
Moreover, the upper and lower bounds on were generally given in terms of [5] , where satisfying , or equivalently, satisfying . ...

While such problems can always be solved by exhaustive search in O(2 k(n) n a ) time and O(k(n) + n a ) space, we can prove a superpolynomial lower bound in the parameter k(n) when space usage is restricted ...
