Separating NOF communication complexity classes RP and NP
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the number-on-forehead (NOF) model of communication complexity, k players are trying to evaluate a function F defined on kn bits. The input of F is partitioned into k pieces of n bits each, call them x1, . . . ,xk, and xi is placed, metaphorically, on the forehead of player i. Thus, each player sees (k − 1)n of the kn input bits. The players communicate by writing bits on a shared blackboard in order to compute F . This model was introduced by [5] and it has many applications, including circuit lower bounds [9, 11], time/space tradeoffs for Turing Machines, pseudo-random number generators for space-bounded Turing Machines [2], and proof system lower bounds [4].

Separating Deterministic from Randomized Multiparty Communication Complexity
We solve some fundamental problems in the number-on-forehead (NOF) kplayer communication model. We show that there exists a function which has at most logarithmic communication complexity for randomized protocols with one-sided falsepositives error probability of 1/3, but which has linear communication complexity for deterministic protocols and, in fact, even for the more powerful nondeterminis...
متن کاملSeparating Deterministic from Nondeterministic NOF Multiparty Communication Complexity
We solve some fundamental problems in the number-onforehead (NOF) k-party communication model. We show that there exists a function which has at most logarithmic communication complexity for randomized protocols with a one-sided error probability of 1/3 but which has linear communication complexity for deterministic protocols. The result is true for k = n players, where n is the number of bits ...
متن کاملOn the P versus NP intersected with co-NP question in communication complexity
We consider the analog of the P versus NP∩ co-NP question for the classical two-party communication protocols where polynomial time is replaced by poly-logarithmic communication: if both a boolean function f and its negation ¬f have small (poly-logarithmic in the number of variables) nondeterministic communication complexity, what is then its deterministic and/or probabilistic communication com...
متن کاملA zero-one law for RP and derandomization of AM if NP is not small
We show that if RP does not have p-measure zero then ZPP = EXP. As corollaries we obtain a zero-one law for RP in EXP, and that both probabilistic classes ZPP and RP have the same measure in EXP. We also prove that if NP does not have p-measure zero then NP = AM.
