Deterministic communication complexity vs partition number
Background: Consider the usual two-party model of communication complexity where Alice and Bob are given $n$-bit strings $x$ and $y$ and have to compute some Boolean function $f(x,y)$, where $f:{0,1}^n...

The relationship between QCMA and QMA in the Turing and Communication model
First my background about computational complexity is still beginner. Recent paper published by Klauck and Podder [KP14] show that for the first time an exponential gap between computing partial...

What is known about log rank conjecture in special situations of $O(log N)$ rank $0/1$ matrix of size $Ntimes N$? Is there at least a conditional result showing better than $O(sqrt{log N})$ bound?
View ArticleMinimum communication cost for zero knowledge proofs of three colorability
Goldreich et al.’s proof that three colorability has zero knowledge proofs uses bit commitment for an entire coloring of the graph in each round [1]. If a graph has $n$ vertices and $e$ edges, a secure...
