We prove that the class of communication problems with public-coin randomized constant-cost protocols, called $BPP^0$, does not contain a complete problem. In other words, there is no randomized constant-cost problem $Q \in BPP^0$, such…
We exhibit an $n$-bit communication problem with a constant-cost randomized protocol but which requires $n^{\Omega(1)}$ deterministic (or even non-deterministic) queries to an Equality oracle. Therefore, even constant-cost randomized…
We initiate the focused study of constant-cost randomized communication, with emphasis on its connection to graph representations. We observe that constant-cost randomized communication problems are equivalent to hereditary (i.e. closed…
We study bounded deviation of non-deterministic finite transducers under the Hamming distance: the bounded comparison problem asks, given two transducers and $k \in \mathbb{N}$, whether for every input the two transducers produce words at…
The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to decide whether the Hamming distance between their $n$-bit…
In this paper we study the tradeoff between parallelism and communication cost in a map-reduce computation. For any problem that is not "embarrassingly parallel," the finer we partition the work of the reducers so that more parallelism can…
We propose a coded computing strategy and examine communication costs of coded computing algorithms to make distributed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) resilient to errors during the computation. We apply maximum distance separable (MDS) codes…
Fault-tolerant capacities quantify the ability of a quantum channel to reliably transmit information when every component of the encoding and decoding procedure is noisy. Earlier work analyzed achievable communication rates under such noise…
We investigate the randomized and quantum communication complexity of the Hamming Distance problem, which is to determine if the Hamming distance between two n-bit strings is no less than a threshold d. We prove a quantum lower bound of…
Quantum entanglement cannot be used to achieve direct communication between remote parties, but it can reduce the communication needed for some problems. Let each of k parties hold some partial input data to some fixed k-variable function…
We present a framework for minimizing costs in constant weight codes while maintaining a certain amount of differentiable codewords. Our calculations are based on a combinatorial view of constant weight codes and relay on simple…
This paper studies the distributed linearly separable computation problem, which is a generalization of many existing distributed computing problems such as distributed gradient descent and distributed linear transform. In this problem, a…
We prove an optimal $\Omega(n)$ lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of the much-studied Gap-Hamming-Distance problem. As a consequence, we obtain essentially optimal multi-pass space lower bounds in the data stream model…
In this paper we obtain some bounds on communication complexity of Gap Hamming Distance problem ($\mathsf{GHD}^n_{L, U}$): Alice and Bob are given binary string of length $n$ and they are guaranteed that Hamming distance between their…
The text-to-pattern Hamming distances problem asks to compute the Hamming distances between a given pattern of length $m$ and all length-$m$ substrings of a given text of length $n\ge m$. We focus on the $k$-mismatch version of the problem,…
This paper formulates a distributed computation problem, where a master asks $N$ distributed workers to compute a linearly separable function. The task function can be expressed as $K_c$ linear combinations of $K$ messages, where each…
Alice and Bob want to know if two strings of length n are almost equal. That is, do they differ on \textit{at most} a bits? Let 0\leq a\leq n-1. We show that any deterministic protocol, as well as any error-free quantum protocol (C*…
A process of preparation, transmission and subsequent projective measurement of a qubit can be simulated by a classical model with only two bits of communication and some amount of shared randomness. However no model for n qubits with a…
We prove lower bounds for the direct sum problem for two-party bounded error randomised multiple-round communication protocols. Our proofs use the notion of information cost of a protocol, as defined by Chakrabarti, Shi, Wirth and Yao and…
We study two fundamental problems in communication, Document Exchange (DE) and Error Correcting Code (ECC). In the first problem, two parties hold two strings, and one party tries to learn the other party's string through communication. In…
