We study the k-round two-party communication complexity of the pointer chasing problem for fixed k. C. Damm, S. Jukna and J. Sgall (1998, Comput. Complexity 7, 109 127) showed an upper bound of O(n log (k&1) n) for this problem. We prove a matching lower bound; this improves the lower bound of 0(n)
In this paper we consider two-party communication complexity, the ``asymmetric case'', when the input sizes of the two players differ significantly. Most of previous work on communication complexity only considers the total number of bits sent, but we study trade-offs between the number of bits the
We consider a situation where each of two processors has access to a different convex functionA, i = 1,2, defined on a common bounded domain. The processors are to exchange a number of binary messages, according to some protocol, until they find a point in the domain at which f, + h is minimized, wi
