A Spectral Approach to Lower Bounds with Applications to Geometric Searching

چکیده

We establish a nonlinear lower bound for halfplane range searching over a group. Specifically, we show that summing up the weights of n (weighted) points within n halfplanes requires Ω(n logn) additions and subtractions. This is the first nontrivial lower bound for range searching over a group. By contrast, range searching over a semigroup (which forbids subtractions) is almost completely understood. Our proof has two parts. First, we develop a general, entropy-based method for relating the linear circuit complexity of a linear map A to the spectrum of AA. In the second part of the proof, we design a “high-spectrum” geometric set system for halfplane range searching and, using techniques from discrepancy theory, we estimate the median eigenvalue of its associated map. Interestingly, the method also shows that using up to a linear number of help gates cannot help; these are gates that can compute any bivariate function.

Geometric Range Searching and Its Relatives

About ten years ago, the eld of range searching, especially simplex range searching, was wide open. At that time, neither e cient algorithms nor nontrivial lower bounds were known for most range-searching problems. A series of papers by Haussler and Welzl [161], Clarkson [88, 89], and Clarkson and Shor [92] not only marked the beginning of a new chapter in geometric searching, but also revitali...

A note on the bounds of Laplacian-energy-like-invariant

The Laplacian-energy-like of a simple connected graph G is defined as LEL:=LEL(G)=∑_(i=1)^n√(μ_i ), Where μ_1 (G)≥μ_2 (G)≥⋯≥μ_n (G)=0 are the Laplacian eigenvalues of the graph G. Some upper and lower bounds for LEL are presented in this note. Moreover, throughout this work, some results related to lower bound of spectral radius of graph are obtained using the term of ΔG as the num...

The Effects of Openness and Globalization on Inflation: An ARDL Bounds Test Approach

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by Romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. According to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the Phillips curve is steeper. Furthermore, Comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new KOF...
