Communication complexity with small advantage
Article No.: 9, Pages 1 - 17
Abstract
We study problems in randomized communication complexity when the protocol is only required to attain some small advantage over purely random guessing, i.e., it produces the correct output with probability at least ϵ greater than one over the codomain size of the function. Previously, Braverman and Moitra (STOC 2013) showed that the set-intersection function requires Θ(ϵn) communication to achieve advantage ϵ. Building on this, we prove the same bound for several variants of set-intersection: (1) the classic "tribes" function obtained by composing with And (provided 1/ϵ is at most the width of the And), and (2) the variant where the sets are uniquely intersecting and the goal is to determine partial information about (say, certain bits of the index of) the intersecting coordinate.

The Landscape of Communication Complexity Classes
We prove several results which, together with prior work, provide a nearly-complete picture of the relationships among classical communication complexity classes between $${\mathsf{P}}$$P and $${\mathsf{PSPACE}}$$PSPACE, short of proving lower bounds ...
On the complexity of asynchronous gossip
PODC '08: Proceedings of the twenty-seventh ACM symposium on Principles of distributed computingIn this paper, we study the complexity of gossip in an asynchronous, message-passing fault-prone distributed system. In short, we show that an adaptive adversary can significantly hamper the spreading of a rumor, while an oblivious adversary cannot. ...
Communication Complexity of Statistical Distance
