In this paper we study quantum nondeterminism in multiparty communication. There are three (possibly) different types of nondeterminism in quantum computation: i) strong, ii) weak with classical proofs, and iii) weak with quantum proofs.…

In this report, we study the multiparty communication complexity problem of the multiparty equality function (MEQ): EQ(x_1,...,x_n) = 1 if x_1=...=x_n, and 0 otherwise. The input vector (x_1,...,x_n) is distributed among n>=2 nodes, with…

We study the problem of identifying correlations in multivariate data, under information constraints: Either on the amount of memory that can be used by the algorithm, or the amount of communication when the data is distributed across…

The ExactlyN problem in the number-on-forehead (NOF) communication setting asks $k$ players, each of whom can see every input but their own, if the $k$ input numbers add up to $N$. Introduced by Chandra, Furst and Lipton in 1983, ExactlyN…
