We prove an $\Omega(d \lg n/ (\lg\lg n)^2)$ lower bound on the dynamic cell-probe complexity of statistically $\mathit{oblivious}$ approximate-near-neighbor search ($\mathsf{ANN}$) over the $d$-dimensional Hamming cube. For the natural…

Naively storing a counter up to value $n$ would require $\Omega(\log n)$ bits of memory. Nelson and Yu [NY22], following work of [Morris78], showed that if the query answers need only be $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate with probability at least…

Given a database, a common problem is to find the pairs or $k$-tuples of items that frequently co-occur. One specific problem is to create a small space "sketch" of the data that records which $k$-tuples appear in more than an $\epsilon$…

This paper addresses the consensus problem in homonymous distributed systems where processes are prone to crash failures and have no initial knowledge of the system membership ("homonymous" means that several processes may have the same…

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.,…

In the adaptive bitprobe model answering membership queries in two bitprobes, we consider the class of restricted schemes as introduced by Kesh and Sharma (Discrete Applied Mathematics 2021). In that paper, the authors showed that such…

In this paper, we give a conditional lower bound of $n^{\Omega(k)}$ on running time for the classic k-median and k-means clustering objectives (where n is the size of the input), even in low-dimensional Euclidean space of dimension four,…

We seek to perform efficient queries for the predecessor among $n$ values stored in $k$ sorted arrays. Evading the $\Omega(n \log k)$ lower bound from merging $k$ arrays, we support predecessor queries in $O(\log n)$ time after $O(n…

In the last decades, the necessity to process massive amounts of textual data fueled the development of compressed text indexes: data structures efficiently answering queries on a given text while occupying space proportional to the…

This paper presents a lower bound for optimizing a finite sum of $n$ functions, where each function is $L$-smooth and the sum is $\mu$-strongly convex. We show that no algorithm can reach an error $\epsilon$ in minimizing all functions from…

We consider a broad class of first-order optimization algorithms which are \emph{oblivious}, in the sense that their step sizes are scheduled regardless of the function under consideration, except for limited side-information such as…

Herlihy's wait-free consensus hierarchy classifies the power of object types in asynchronous shared memory systems where processes can permanently crash (i.e. stop taking steps). In this hierarchy, a type has consensus number $n$ if objects…

Most state-of-the-art satisfiability algorithms today are variants of the DPLL procedure augmented with clause learning. The main bottleneck for such algorithms, other than the obvious one of time, is the amount of memory used. In the field…

This paper studies the lower bound complexity for the optimization problem whose objective function is the average of $n$ individual smooth convex functions. We consider the algorithm which gets access to gradient and proximal oracle for…

Mining frequent itemsets is a popular method for finding associated items in databases. For this method, support, the co-occurrence frequency of the items which form an association, is used as the primary indicator of the associations's…

String consensus problems aim at finding a string that minimizes some given distance with respect to an input set of strings. In particular, in the Closest string problem, we are given a set of strings of equal length and a radius $d$. The…

We provide space complexity lower bounds for data structures that approximate logistic loss up to $\epsilon$-relative error on a logistic regression problem with data $\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ and labels $\mathbf{y} \in…

We study the problem of $2$-dimensional orthogonal range counting with additive error. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points drawn from an $n\times n$ grid and an error parameter $\eps$, the goal is to build a data structure, such that for any…

Suppose that we are given a string $s$ of length $n$ over an alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,n^{O(1)}\}$ and $\delta$ is the string complexity of $s$, a known compression measure. We describe an index on $s$ with $O(\delta\log\frac{n}{\delta})$…

An adaptive regularization algorithm for unconstrained nonconvex optimization is presented in which the objective function is never evaluated, but only derivatives are used. This algorithm belongs to the class of adaptive regularization…
