Let k, n ยฅ N and f: {0, 1} n ร {0, 1} n Q {0, 1}. Assume Alice has x 1 , ..., x k ยฅ {0, 1} n , Bob has y 1 , ..., y k ยฅ {0, 1} n , and they want to compute
municating as few bits as possible. The direct sum conjecture (henceforth DSC) n (log log(n))(log(n)) ) bits. This establishes a weak randomized version of ELC for these functions.
(e) Under a reasonable (but unproven) assumption, the elimination problem for f 2 requires W(D(f)) bits, where D(f) is the deterministic complexity of f. This links a weak version of ELC to other assumptions.

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)
Model selection should be based not solely on goodness-of-fit, but must also consider model complexity. While the goal of mathematical modeling in cognitive psychology is to select one model from a set of competing models that best captures the underlying mental process, choosing the model that best
We consider the problem of finding a minimum-length schedule on m machines for a set of n unit-length tasks with a forest of intrees as precedence relation, and with unit interprocessor communication delays. First, we prove that this problem is NP-complete; second, we derive a linear time algorithm
## Abstract An important problem arising in the management of logistic networks is the following: given a set of activities to be performed, each requiring a set of resources, select the optimal set of resources compatible with the system capacity constraints. This problem is called Batch Selection
In order to obtain quantitative information, it is often necessary for a chemist to employ regression methods. An algorithm is described for determining the optimal subset of variables which gives the best prediction in regression analysis. The procedure is based on the generalized simulated anneali
