Hypergraph-Based Fast Distributed AC Power Flow Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Yuning Jiang, Yingzhao Lian, Xinliang Dai

This paper presents a novel distributed approach for solving AC power flow (PF) problems. The optimization problem is reformulated into a distributed form using a communication structure corresponding to a hypergraph, by which complex relationships between ...

Minimum Cost Intervention Design for Causal Effect Identification

Negar Kiyavash, Sina Akbari, Seyed Jalal Etesami

Pearl's do calculus is a complete axiomatic approach to learn the identifiable causal effects from observational data. When such an effect is not identifiable, it is necessary to perform a collection of often costly interventions in the system to learn the ...

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 ...

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 Toolbox for Barriers on Interactive Oracle Proofs

Alessandro Chiesa

Interactive oracle proofs (IOPs) are a proof system model that combines features of interactive proofs (IPs) and probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs). IOPs have prominent applications in complexity theory and cryptography, most notably to constructing ...

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 ...

Logic Resynthesis of Majority-Based Circuits by Top-Down Decomposition

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

Logic resynthesis is the problem of finding a dependency function to re-express a given Boolean function in terms of a given set of divisor functions. In this paper, we study logic resynthesis of majority-based circuits, which is motivated by the increasin ...

String Matching: Communication, Circuits, and Learning

Mika Tapani Göös

String matching is the problem of deciding whether a given n-bit string contains a given k-bit pattern. We study the complexity of this problem in three settings. - Communication complexity. For small k, we provide near-optimal upper and lower bounds on th ...
