In the Number On the Forehead (NOF) multiparty communication model, $k$ players want to evaluate a function $F : X_1 \times\cdots\times X_k\rightarrow Y$ on some input $(x_1,\dots,x_k)$ by broadcasting bits according to a predetermined…

Noise in quantum systems is a major obstacle to implementing many quantum algorithms on large quantum circuits. In this work, we study the effects of noise on the Rademacher complexity of quantum circuits, which is a measure of statistical…

A boolean function of $n$ boolean variables is {correlation-immune} of order $k$ if the function value is uncorrelated with the values of any $k$ of the arguments. Such functions are of considerable interest due to their cryptographic…

Let A be a set of integers. For every integer n, let r_{A,2}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2, where a_1 and a_2 are in A and a_1 \leq a_2. The function r_{A,2}: Z \to N_0 \cup {\infty} is the…

The number of quantifiers needed to express first-order (FO) properties is captured by two-player combinatorial games called multi-structural games. We analyze these games on binary strings with an ordering relation, using a technique we…

In this work, we explore the effects of a quantum quench on the circuit complexity for a quenched quantum field theory having weakly coupled quartic interaction. We use the invariant operator method, under a perturbative framework, for…

Arithmetic circuit complexity studies the complexity of computing polynomials using only arithmetic operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Polynomials over rings of integers model counting problems.…

We consider the power of Boolean circuits with MOD$_{6}$ gates. First, we introduce a few basic notions of computational complexity, and describe the standard models with which we study the complexity of problems. We then define the model…

A recently introduced measure of Boolean functions complexity--disjunc\-tive complexity (DC)--is compared with other complexity measures: the space complexity of streaming algorithms and the complexity of nondeterministic branching programs…

We give a lower bound of $\Omega(\sqrt n)$ on the unambiguous randomised parity-query complexity of the approximate majority problem -- that is, on the lowest randomised parity-query complexity of any function over $\{0,1\}^n$ whose value…

A number of complexity measures for Boolean functions have previously been introduced. These include (1) sensitivity, (2) block sensitivity, (3) witness complexity, (4) subcube partition complexity and (5) algorithmic complexity. Each of…

This paper establishes the exact comparison complexity of finding an element repeated $n$ times in a $2n$-element array containing $n+1$ distinct values, under the equality-comparison model with $O(1)$ extra space. We present a simple…

The existence of string functions, which are not polynomial time computable, but whose graph is checkable in polynomial time, is a basic assumption in cryptography. We prove that in the framework of algebraic complexity, there are no such…

We study the extremal competitive ratio of Boolean function evaluation. We provide the first non-trivial lower and upper bounds for classes of Boolean functions which are not included in the class of monotone Boolean functions. For the…

In arXiv:1710.08163 a generalization of Boolean circuits to arbitrary finite algebras had been introduced and applied to sketch P versus NP-complete borderline for circuits satisfiability over algebras from congruence modular varieties.…

We investigate computing models that are presented as families of finite computing devices with a uniformity condition on the entire family. Examples of such models include Boolean circuits, membrane systems, DNA computers, chemical…

We study how the complexity of modular circuits computing AND depends on the depth of the circuits and the prime factorization of the modulus they use. In particular our construction of subexponential circuits of depth 2 for AND helps us to…

The paper discusses the gate complexity and the depth of reversible circuits consisting of NOT, CNOT and 2-CNOT gates in the case, when the number of additional inputs is limited. We study Shannon's gate complexity function $L(n, q)$ and…

Random instances of feedforward Boolean circuits are studied both analytically and numerically. Evaluating these circuits is known to be a P-complete problem and thus, in the worst case, believed to be impossible to perform, even given a…

A monotone Boolean (OR,AND) circuit computing a monotone Boolean function f is a read-k circuit if the polynomial produced (purely syntactically) by the arithmetic (+,x) version of the circuit has the property that for every prime implicant…
