We study the following communication variant of local search. There is some fixed, commonly known graph G. Alice holds fA and Bob holds fB, both are functions that specify a value for each vertex. The goal is to find a local maximum of fA + fB with respect to G, i.e., a vertex v for which (fA + fB)(v) ≥ (fA + fB)(u) for every neighbor u of v. Our main result is that finding a local maximum requ...
