We prove a monotone interpolation property for split cuts which, together with results from Pudlak (1997), implies that cutting-plane proofs which use split cuts have exponential length in the worst case.
As split cuts are equivalent to mixed-integer rounding cuts and Gomory mixed-integer cuts, cutting-plane proofs using the above cuts ... more >>>

In [Blass, Gurevich, and Shelah, 99] a logic L_Y has been introduced as a possible candidate for a logic capturing the PTIME properties of structures (even in the absence of an ordering of their universe). A reformulation of this problem in terms of a parameterized halting problem p-Acc for nondeterministic ... more >>>

We prove an n^{Omega(1)}/2^{O(k)} lower bound on the randomized k-party communication complexity of read-once depth 4 AC^0 functions in the number-on-forehead (NOF) model for O(log n) players. These are the first non-trivial lower bounds for general NOF multiparty communication complexity for any AC^0 function for omega(log log n) players. For ... more >>>
