چکیده

We show that, for any ε > 0, there exists a language accepted in strong ε·log n space by a 2-way deterministic Turing machine working with a single binary worktape, that cannot be accepted in sublogarithmicweak space by any pebble machine (i.e., a 2-way nondeterministic Turing machine with one pebble that can be moved onto the input cells). Moreover, we provide optimal unary lower bounds on the product of space and input head reversals for strong and weak pebble machines accepting nonregular languages.

On Separators, Segregators and Time versus Space

We give the first extension of the result due to Paul, Pippenger, Szemeredi and Trotter [24] that deterministic linear time is distinct from nondeterministic linear time. We show that NTIME(n √ log∗(n)) 6= DTIME(n √ log∗(n)). We show that if the class of multi-pushdown graphs has (o(n), o(n/log(n))) segregators, then NTIME(nlog(n)) 6= DTIME(nlog(n)). We also show that atleast one of the followi...

Pebbling Meets Coloring: Reversible Pebble Game On Trees

The reversible pebble game is a combinatorial game played on rooted DAGs. This game was introduced by Bennett [1] motivated by applications in designing space efficient reversible algorithms. Recently, Siu Man Chan [2] showed that the reversible pebble game number of any DAG is the same as its Dymond-Tompa pebble number and Raz-Mckenzie pebble number. We show, as our main result, that for any r...

Space Lower Bounds for Graph Exploration via Reduced Automata

We consider the task of exploring graphs with anonymous nodes by a team of non-cooperative robots modeled as finite automata. These robots have no a priori knowledge of the topology of the graph, or of its size. Each edge has to be traversed by at least one robot. We first show that, for any set of q non-cooperative K-state robots, there exists a graph of size O(qK) that no robot of this set ca...

Undirected Graph Exploration with ⊝(log log n) Pebbles

We consider the fundamental problem of exploring an undirected and initially unknown graph by an agent with little memory. The vertices of the graph are unlabeled, and the edges incident to a vertex have locally distinct labels. In this setting, it is known that Θ(logn) bits of memory are necessary and sufficient to explore any graph with at most n vertices. We show that this memory requirement...

Improved Dynamic Rank-Select Entropy-Bound Structures

Operations rank and select over a sequence of symbols have many applications to the design of succinct and compressed data structures to manage text collections, structured text, binary relations, trees, graphs, and so on. We are interested in the case where the collections can be updated via insertions and deletions of symbols. Two current solutions stand out as the best in the tradeoff of spa...
