Lifting with sunflowers

S Lovett, R Meka, I Mertz, T Pitassi… - … proceedings in informatics, 2022 - par.nsf.gov
Query-to-communication lifting theorems translate lower bounds on query complexity to
lower bounds for the corresponding communication model. In this paper, we give a …

MaxSAT resolution and subcube sums

Y Filmus, M Mahajan, G Sood, M Vinyals - ACM Transactions on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We study the MaxSAT Resolution (MaxRes) rule in the context of certifying unsatisfiability.
We show that it can be exponentially more powerful than tree-like resolution, and when …

A reciprocity between tree ensemble optimization and multilinear optimization

J Kim, JPP Richard, M Tawarmalani - Operations Research, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
In this paper, we establish a low-degree polynomially-sized reduction between tree
ensemble optimization and optimization of multilinear functions over a Cartesian product of …

Lifting with simple gadgets and applications to circuit and proof complexity

S De Rezende, O Meir, J Nordström… - 2020 IEEE 61st …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We significantly strengthen and generalize the theorem lifting Nullstellensatz degree to
monotone span program size by Pitassi and Robere (2018) so that it works for any gadget …

Quasi-popular matchings, optimality, and extended formulations

Y Faenza, T Kavitha - Mathematics of Operations Research, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
Let G be an instance of the stable marriage problem in which every vertex ranks its
neighbors in a strict order of preference. A matching M in G is popular if M does not lose a …

Regular matroids have polynomial extension complexity

M Aprile, S Fiorini - Mathematics of Operations Research, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
We prove that the extension complexity of the independence polytope of every regular
matroid on n elements is O (n 6). Past results of Wong and Martin on extended formulations …

Lifting theorems for equality

B Loff, S Mukhopadhyay - Leibniz International Proceedings …, 2019 - eprints.whiterose.ac.uk
We show a deterministic simulation (or lifting) theorem for composed problems f◦ Eqn where
the inner function (the gadget) is Equality on n bits. When f is a total function on p bits, it is …

On disperser/lifting properties of the index and inner-product functions

P Beame, S Koroth - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.17211, 2022 - arxiv.org
Query-to-communication lifting theorems, which connect the query complexity of a Boolean
function to the communication complexity of an associatedlifted'function obtained by …

On the pseudo-deterministic query complexity of NP search problems

S Goldwasser, R Impagliazzo, T Pitassi, R Santhanam - 2021 - ora.ox.ac.uk
We study pseudo-deterministic query complexity-randomized query algorithms that are
required to output the same answer with high probability on all inputs. We prove Ω (√ n) …

Lifting theorems meet information complexity: Known and new lower bounds of set-disjointness

G Yang, J Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.13517, 2023 - arxiv.org
Set-disjointness problems are one of the most fundamental problems in communication
complexity and have been extensively studied in past decades. Given its importance, many …
