A King for Almost Everyone

A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph. A vertex $v$ controls a vertex $u\neq v$ if there is a directed path of length at most two from $v$ to $u$, and a $\delta$-king is one that controls at least $\delta(n-1)$ vertices. In the query complexity model, each query reveals the orientation of an edge. Shen, Sh...

Quantum Query Complexity of Maximum Degree and its Generalizations

We study the quantum query complexity of several basic graph problems. 1) We prove a tight $\Theta(n^{3/2})$ bound for finding a maximum-out-degree vertex in an $n$-vertex tournament, resolving a conjecture of Mande, Paraashar, and Saurabh [FSTTCS'23]. 2) Using the same proof idea, we give a direct proof that finding a...

Optimal Quantum-Classical Separations for Exact Learning

We study exact learning with membership queries for concept classes $\mathcal C\subseteq\{0,1\}^N$, focusing on the relationships among their deterministic, randomized, and quantum query complexities, denoted $\mathsf{D}(\mathcal C)$, $\mathsf{R}(\mathcal C)$, and $\mathsf{Q}(\mathcal C)$, respectively. The two canonic...
