Total space in Resolution is at least width squared

Given an unsatisfiable $k$-CNF formula $\phi$ we consider two complexity measures in Resolution: width and total space. The width is the minimal $W$ such that there exists a Resolution refutation of $\phi$ with clauses of at most $W$ literals. The total space is the minimal size $T$ of a memory ... more >>>

On the Fine Grained Complexity of Polynomial Time Problems Given Correlated Instances

We set out to study the impact of having access to correlated instances on the fine grained complexity of polynomial time problems, which have notoriously resisted improvement.
In particular, we show how to use a logarithmic number of auxiliary correlated instances to obtain $o(n^2)$ time algorithms for the longest common ... more >>>

On the Communication Complexity of Approximate Fixed Points

We study the two-party communication complexity of finding an approximate Brouwer fixed point of a composition
of two Lipschitz functions $g\circ f : [0,1]^n \to [0,1]^n$, where Alice holds $f$ and Bob holds $g$. We prove an
exponential (in $n$) lower bound on the deterministic ... more >>>
