An Exponential Lower Bound on the Size of Algebraic Decision Trees for MAX

We prove an exponential lower bound on the size of any
fixed-degree algebraic decision tree for solving MAX, the
problem of finding the maximum of $n$ real numbers. This
complements the $n-1$ lower bound of Rabin \cite{R72} on
the depth of ... more >>>

Randomized Complexity of Linear Arrangements and Polyhedra

We survey some of the recent results on the complexity of recognizing
n-dimensional linear arrangements and convex polyhedra by randomized
algebraic decision trees. We give also a number of concrete applications
of these results. In particular, we derive first nontrivial, in fact
quadratic, ... more >>>
