We show EOPL = PLS \cap PsansP \sansP AD. Here the class EOPL consists of all total search problems that reduce to the END -OF -POTENTIAL -LINE problem, which was introduced in the works by Hub'acv \ek and Yogev (SICOMP 2020) and Fearnley et al. (JCSS 202 ...

Near-Optimal Communication Lower Bounds for Approximate Nash Equilibria

Mika Tapani Göös

We prove an N2-o(1) lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of finding an epsilon-approximate Nash equilibrium (for constant epsilon > 0) in a two-player N x N game. ...

Unambiguous DNFs and Alon-Saks-Seymour

Mika Tapani Göös, Siddhartha Jain

We exhibit an unambiguous k-DNF formula that requires CNF width (Omega) over tilde (k(2)), which is optimal up to logarithmic factors. As a consequence, we get a near-optimal solution to the Alon-Saks-Seymour problem in graph theory (posed in 1991), which ...

Communication Complexity of Collision

Mika Tapani Göös, Siddhartha Jain

The Collision problem is to decide whether a given list of numbers (x_1,…,x_n) ∈ [n]ⁿ is 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 when promised one of them is the case. We show an n^Ω(1) randomised communication lower bound for the natural two-party version of Collision where Ali ...

Further Collapses in TFNP

Mika Tapani Göös, Gilbert Théodore Maystre, Alexandros Paul Hollender, Siddhartha Jain, Ran Tao

We show EOPL = PLS ∩ PPAD. Here the class EOPL consists of all total search problems that reduce to the End-of-Potential-Line problem, which was introduced in the works by Hubáček and Yogev (SICOMP 2020) and Fearnley et al. (JCSS 2020). In particular, our ...

Lower Bounds for Unambiguous Automata via Communication Complexity

Mika Tapani Göös, Weiqiang Yuan

We use results from communication complexity, both new and old ones, to prove lower bounds for unambiguous finite automata (UFAs). We show three results. 1) Complement: There is a language L recognised by an n-state UFA such that the complement language ...

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik2022

We survey lower-bound results in complexity theory that have been obtained via newfound interconnections between propositional proof complexity, boolean circuit complexity, and query/communication complexity. We advocate for the theory of total search prob ...

On Semi-Algebraic Proofs and Algorithms

Mika Tapani Göös

We give a new characterization of the Sherali-Adams proof system, showing that there is a degree-d Sherali-Adams refutation of an unsatisfiable CNF formula C if and only if there is an ε > 0 and a degree-d conical junta J such that viol_C(x) - ε = J, where ...

A Majority Lemma for Randomised Query Complexity

Mika Tapani Göös, Gilbert Théodore Maystre

We show that computing the majority of n copies of a boolean function g has randomised query complexity R(Maj∘gⁿ) = Θ(n⋅R ̅_{1/n}(g)). In fact, we show that to obtain a similar result for any composed function f∘gⁿ, it suffices to prove a sufficiently stro ...

On the Power and Limitations of Branch and Cut

Mika Tapani Göös

The Stabbing Planes proof system [Paul Beame et al., 2018] was introduced to model the reasoning carried out in practical mixed integer programming solvers. As a proof system, it is powerful enough to simulate Cutting Planes and to refute the Tseitin formu ...
