A Top-Down Depth-Four Circuit Lower Bound for Majority

Hao Wu, Yaqiao Li

We present a top-down depth-four circuit lower bound for Majority function by extending recent work of Göös, Riazanov, Sofronova, and Sokolov (FOCS 2023), who gave a top-down proof…

Undecidability of Polynomial Inequalities in Subset Densities and Additive Energies

Yaqiao Li

Many results in extremal graph theory can be formulated as certain polynomial inequalities in graph homomorphism densities. Answering fundamental questions raised by Lov{á}sz, Szeg…

Diversity-seeking swap games in networks

Yaqiao Li, Lata Narayanan, Jaroslav Opatrny +1

Schelling games use a game-theoretic approach to study the phenomenon of residential segregation as originally modeled by Schelling. Inspired by the recent increase in the number o…

Lifting query complexity to time-space complexity for two-way finite automata

Shenggen Zheng, Yaqiao Li, Minghua Pan +2

Time-space tradeoff has been studied in a variety of models, such as Turing machines, branching programs, and finite automata, etc. While communication complexity as a technique ha…

Online Vector Bin Packing and Hypergraph Coloring Illuminated: Simpler Proofs and New Connections

Yaqiao Li, Denis Pankratov

This paper studies the online vector bin packing (OVBP) problem and the related problem of online hypergraph coloring (OHC). Firstly, we use a double counting argument to prove an…

Perspective on complexity measures targetting read-once branching programs

Yaqiao Li, Pierre McKenzie

A model of computation for which reasonable yet still incomplete lower bounds are known is the read-once branching program. Here variants of complexity measures successful in the s…

Online Coloring and a New Type of Adversary for Online Graph Problems

Yaqiao Li, Vishnu V. Narayan, Denis Pankratov

We introduce a new type of adversary for online graph problems. The new adversary is parameterized by a single integer , which upper bounds the number of connected components th…

Chang's lemma via Pinsker's inequality

Lianna Hambardzumyan, Yaqiao Li

Extending the idea in [Impagliazzo, R., Moore, C. and Russell, A., An entropic proof of Chang's inequality. SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 28(1), pp.173-176.] we give a shor…

Human Motion Prediction via Pattern Completion in Latent Representation Space

Yi Tian Xu, Yaqiao Li, David Meger

Inspired by ideas in cognitive science, we propose a novel and general approach to solve human motion understanding via pattern completion on a learned latent representation space.…

Conflict complexity is lower bounded by block sensitivity

Yaqiao Li

We show conflict complexity of every total Boolean function, recently introduced in [Swagato Sanyal. A composition theorem via conict complexity. arXiv preprint arXiv:1801.03285, 2…

Trading information complexity for error II: the case of a large error and external information complexity

Yaqiao Li

Two problems are studied in this paper. (1) How much external or internal information cost is required to compute a Boolean-valued function with an error at most for a smal…

A note on the tight example in On the randomised query complexity of composition

Yaqiao Li

We make two observations regarding a recent tight example for a composition theorem for randomized query complexity: (1) it implies general randomized query-to-communication liftin…

Information complexity of the AND function in the two-Party, and multiparty settings

Yuval Filmus, Hamed Hatami, Yaqiao Li +1

In a recent breakthrough paper [M. Braverman, A. Garg, D. Pankratov, and O. Weinstein, From information to exact communication, STOC'13] Braverman et al. developed a local characte…

Trading information complexity for error

Yuval Dagan, Yuval Filmus, Hamed Hatami +1

We consider the standard two-party communication model. The central problem studied in this article is how much one can save in information complexity by allowing an error of .…

A characterization of functions with vanishing averages over products of disjoint sets

Hamed Hatami, Pooya Hatami, Yaqiao Li

Given , we characterize all integrable functions satisfying for any collection of disjoint…

The winning property of mixed badly approximable numbers

Yaqiao Li

For any pair of real numbers with and , we prove that the set of -adic mixed -badly approximable numbers $\bad_p(i, j)$ is 1/2-winning in the sen…
