TY - BOOK AU - Dahiya, Yogesh TI - Exploring Size Complexity and Randomness in the Query Model PY - 2024/// CY - Chennai PB - The Institute of Mathematical Sciences KW - Mathematics N2 - Decision trees, also known as query models, are one of the simplest and most basic models of computation, where a computational task is performed by adaptively querying the input with the goal of minimizing the number of queries. Despite its simplicity, it still remains a puzzle with many unresolved questions and have been central to significant breakthroughs in recent years. These advancements include new connections between proof complexity and query complexity, and the development of query-to-communication lifting theorems, which have yielded new insights in proof complexity, Boolean circuit complexity, and communication complexity. In the decision tree model, there are two natural complexity measures of importance: the depth complexity (the worst-case number of queries asked by a query algorithm) and the size complexity (the space required to store the query algorithm). While significant attention has been devoted to the former, the latter remains relatively under-explored UR - https://dspace.imsc.res.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/881 ER -
