This paper proves the first super-logarithmic lower bounds on the cell probe complexity of dynamic boolean (a.k.a. decision) data structure problems, a long-standing milestone in data structure lower bounds. We introduce a new method for…
In this paper, we study the static cell probe complexity of non-adaptive data structures that maintain a subset of $n$ points from a universe consisting of $m=n^{1+\Omega(1)}$ points. A data structure is defined to be non-adaptive when the…
In this paper we investigate the problem of building a static data structure that represents a string s using space close to its compressed size, and allows fast access to individual characters of s. This type of structures was investigated…
We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds on dynamic data structures. This technique enables us to prove an amortized randomized Omega(lg n) lower bound per operation for several data structural problems on n elements,…
We prove essentially optimal fine-grained lower bounds on the gap between a data structure and a partially retroactive version of the same data structure. Precisely, assuming any one of three standard conjectures, we describe a problem that…

Given an integer array $A[1..n]$, the Range Minimum Query problem (RMQ) asks to preprocess $A$ into a data structure, supporting RMQ queries: given $a,b\in [1,n]$, return the index $i\in[a,b]$ that minimizes $A[i]$, i.e.,…
We propose an operator preconditioner for general elliptic pseudodifferential equations in a domain $\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is either in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in a Riemannian manifold. For linear systems of equations arising from low-order…
Obtaining a non-trivial (super-linear) lower bound for computation of the Fourier transform in the linear circuit model has been a long standing open problem. All lower bounds so far have made strong restrictions on the computational model.…
Since the introduction of retroactive data structures at SODA 2004, a major unsolved problem has been to bound the gap between the best partially retroactive data structure (where changes can be made to the past, but only the present can be…
A completion of an m-by-n matrix A with entries in {0,1,*} is obtained by setting all *-entries to constants 0 or 1. A system of semi-linear equations over GF(2) has the form Mx=f(x), where M is a completion of A and f:{0,1}^n --> {0,1}^m…
We prove a general translation theorem for converting one-way communication lower bounds over a product distribution to dynamic cell-probe lower bounds. Specifically, we consider a class of problems considered in [Pat10] where: 1. $S_1,…

We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds for static data structures. Previous lower bounds used a reduction to communication games, which was known not to be tight by counting arguments. We give the first lower bound…
In this work, we propose a concise neural operator architecture for operator learning. Drawing an analogy with a conventional fully connected neural network, we define the neural operator as follows: the output of the $i$-th neuron in a…
In this paper, we develop a new communication model to prove a data structure lower bound for the dynamic interval union problem. The problem is to maintain a multiset of intervals $\mathcal{I}$ over $[0, n]$ with integer coordinates,…
Obtaining a non-trivial (super-linear) lower bound for computation of the Fourier transform in the linear circuit model has been a long standing open problem for over 40 years. An early result by Morgenstern from 1973, provides an $\Omega(n…
In 2010, P\v{a}tra\c{s}cu proposed the following three-phase dynamic problem, as a candidate for proving polynomial lower bounds on the operational time of dynamic data structures: I: Preprocess a collection of sets $\vec{S} = S_1, \ldots ,…
Recently, Dvir, Golovnev, and Weinstein have shown that sufficiently strong lower bounds for linear data structures would imply new bounds for rigid matrices. However, their result utilizes an algorithm that requires an $NP$ oracle, and…
Solving cell problems in homogenization is hard, and available deep-learning frameworks fail to match the speed and generality of traditional computational frameworks. More to the point, it is generally unclear what to expect of…
