There are distributed graph algorithms for finding maximal matchings and maximal independent sets in $O(\Delta + \log^* n)$ communication rounds; here $n$ is the number of nodes and $\Delta$ is the maximum degree. The lower bound by Linial…
We focus on the well-studied problem of distributed overlay network construction. We consider a synchronous gossip-based communication model where in each round a node can send a message of small size to another node whose identifier it…
We introduce the concept of boundary degeneracy of topologically ordered states on a compact orientable spatial manifold with boundaries, and emphasize that the boundary degeneracy provides richer information than the bulk degeneracy.…
We analyze site percolation on directed and undirected graphs with site-dependent open-site probabilities. We construct upper bounds on cluster susceptibilities, vertex connectivity functions, and the expected number of simple open cycles…
Querying graph data with low latency is an important requirement in application domains such as social networks and knowledge graphs. Graph queries perform multiple hops between vertices. When data is partitioned and stored across multiple…
We introduce a novel lower bound technique for distributed graph algorithms under bandwidth limitations. We define the notion of \emph{fooling views} and exemplify its strength by proving two new lower bounds for triangle membership in the…
We study the asymptotic nature of geometric structures formed from a point cloud of observations of (generally heavy tailed) distributions in a Euclidean space of dimension greater than one. A typical example is given by the Betti numbers…
For a wide class of noninteracting tight-binding models in one dimension we present an analytical solution for all scattering and edge states on a half-infinite system. Without assuming any symmetry constraints we consider models with…
We continue the study of communication cost of computing functions when inputs are distributed among $k$ processors, each of which is located at one vertex of a network/graph called a terminal. Every other node of the network also has a…
Deep neural networks generalize well despite being heavily overparameterized, in apparent contradiction with classical learning theory based on uniform convergence over fixed hypothesis spaces. Uniform bounds over the entire parameter space…
We study the maximum $k$-set coverage problem in the following distributed setting. A collection of sets $S_1,\ldots,S_m$ over a universe $[n]$ is partitioned across $p$ machines and the goal is to find $k$ sets whose union covers the most…
Federated learning is a prime candidate for distributed machine learning at the network edge due to the low communication complexity and privacy protection among other attractive properties. However, existing algorithms face issues with…
We present theoretical and experimental results probing the rich topological structure of arbitrarily disordered finite tight binding Hamiltonians with chiral symmetry. We extend the known classification by considering the topological…
We study the \emph{Online Facility Assignment} (OFA) problem on a discrete $r\times c$ grid graph under the standard model of Ahmed, Rahman, and Kobourov: a fixed set of facilities is given, each with limited capacity, and an online…
In this work we start the investigation of tight complexity bounds for connectivity problems parameterized by cutwidth assuming the Strong Exponential-Time Hypothesis (SETH). Van Geffen et al. posed this question for odd cycle transversal…
Counting the number of answers to conjunctive queries is a fundamental problem in databases that, under standard assumptions, does not have an efficient solution. The issue is inherently #P-hard, extending even to classes of acyclic…
Cutwidth is a widely studied parameter that quantifies how well a graph can be decomposed along small edge-cuts. It complements pathwidth, which captures decomposition by small vertex separators, and it is well-known that cutwidth…
Roughgarden, Vassilvitskii, and Wang (JACM 18) recently introduced a novel framework for proving lower bounds for Massively Parallel Computation using techniques from boolean function complexity. We extend their framework in two different…
Continual learning systems operating in fixed-dimensional spaces face a fundamental geometric barrier: the flat manifold problem. When experience is represented as a linear trajectory in Euclidean space, the geodesic distance between…
The problem of checking whether a recursive query can be rewritten as query without recursion is a fundamental reasoning task, known as the boundedness problem. Here we study the boundedness problem for Unions of Conjunctive Regular Path…
