We explore bounds of {em time-space tradeoffs} in language recognition on {em two-way finite automata} for some special languages. We prove: (1) a time-space tradeoff upper bound for recognition of the languages $L_{EQ}(n)$ on {em two-way probabilistic finite automata} (2PFA): $TS={bf O}(nlog n)$, whereas a time-space tradeoff lower bound on {em two-way deterministic finite automata} is ${bf Omega}(n^2)$, (2) a time-space tradeoff upper bound for recognition of the languages $L_{INT}(n)$ on {em two-way finite automata with quantum and classical states} (2QCFA): $TS={bf O}(n^{3/2}log n)$, whereas a lower bound on 2PFA is $TS={bf Omega}(n^2)$, (3) a time-space tradeoff upper bound for recognition of the languages $L_{NE}(n)$ on exact 2QCFA: $TS={bf O}(n^{1.87} log n)$, whereas a lower bound on 2PFA is $TS={bf Omega}(n^2)$. It has been proved (Klauck, STOC00) that the exact one-way quantum finite automata have no advantage comparing to classical finite automata in recognizing languages. However, the result (3) shows that the exact 2QCFA do have an advantage in comparison with their classical counterparts, which has been the first example showing that the exact quantum computing have advantage in time-space tradeoff comparing to classical computing. Usually, two communicating parties, Alice and Bob, are supposed to have an access to arbitrary computational power in {em communication complexity} model that is used. Instead of that we will consider communication complexity in such a setting that two parties are using only finite automata and we prove in this setting that quantum automata are better than classical automata and also probabilistic automata are better than deterministic automata for some well known tasks.

In function inversion, we are given a function $f: [N] mapsto [N]$, and want to prepare some advice of size $S$, such that we can efficiently invert any image in time $T$. This is a well studied problem with profound connections to cryptography, data structures, communication complexity, and circuit lower bounds. Investigation of this problem in the quantum setting was initiated by Nayebi, Aaronson, Belovs, and Trevisan (2015), who proved a lower bound of $ST^2 = tildeOmega(N)$ for random permutations against classical advice, leaving open an intriguing possibility that Grovers search can be sped up to time $tilde O(sqrt{N/S})$. Recent works by Hhan, Xagawa, and Yamakawa (2019), and Chung, Liao, and Qian (2019) extended the argument for random functions and quantum advice, but the lower bound remains $ST^2 = tildeOmega(N)$. In this work, we prove that even with quantum advice, $ST + T^2 = tildeOmega(N)$ is required for an algorithm to invert random functions. This demonstrates that Grovers search is optimal for $S = tilde O(sqrt{N})$, ruling out any substantial speed-up for Grovers search even with quantum advice. Further improvements to our bounds would imply new classical circuit lower bounds, as shown by Corrigan-Gibbs and Kogan (2019). To prove this result, we develop a general framework for establishing quantum time-space lower bounds. We further demonstrate the power of our framework by proving quantum time-space lower bounds for Yaos box problem and salted cryptography.
Parikh automata extend automata with counters whose values can only be tested at the end of the computation, with respect to membership into a semi-linear set. Parikh automata have found several applications, for instance in transducer theory, as the y enjoy decidable emptiness problem. In this paper, we study two-way Parikh automata. We show that emptiness becomes undecidable in the non-deterministic case. However, it is PSpace-C when the number of visits to any input position is bounded and the semi-linear set is given as an existential Presburger formula. We also give tight complexity bounds for the inclusion, equivalence and universality problems. Finally, we characterise precisely the complexity of those problems when the semi-linear constraint is given by an arbitrary Presburger formula.
In recent years much effort has been concentrated towards achieving polynomial time lower bounds on algorithms for solving various well-known problems. A useful technique for showing such lower bounds is to prove them conditionally based on well-stud ied hardness assumptions such as 3SUM, APSP, SETH, etc. This line of research helps to obtain a better understanding of the complexity inside P. A related question asks to prove conditional space lower bounds on data structures that are constructed to solve certain algorithmic tasks after an initial preprocessing stage. This question received little attention in previous research even though it has potential strong impact. In this paper we address this question and show that surprisingly many of the well-studied hard problems that are known to have conditional polynomial time lower bounds are also hard when concerning space. This hardness is shown as a tradeoff between the space consumed by the data structure and the time needed to answer queries. The tradeoff may be either smooth or admit one or more singularity points. We reveal interesting connections between different space hardness conjectures and present matching upper bounds. We also apply these hardness conjectures to both static and dynamic problems and prove their conditional space hardness. We believe that this novel framework of polynomial space conjectures can play an important role in expressing polynomial space lower bounds of many important algorithmic problems. Moreover, it seems that it can also help in achieving a better understanding of the hardness of their corresponding problems in terms of time.

A strong direct product theorem says that if we want to compute k independent instances of a function, using less than k times the resources needed for one instance, then our overall success probability will be exponentially small in k. We establish such theorems for the classical as well as quantum query complexity of the OR function. This implies slightly weaker direct product results for all total functions. We prove a similar result for quantum communication protocols computing k instances of the Disjointness function. Our direct product theorems imply a time-space tradeoff T^2*S=Omega(N^3) for sorting N items on a quantum computer, which is optimal up to polylog factors. They also give several tight time-space and communication-space tradeoffs for the problems of Boolean matrix-vector multiplication and matrix multiplication.
We present a faster symbolic algorithm for the following central problem in probabilistic verification: Compute the maximal end-component (MEC) decomposition of Markov decision processes (MDPs). This problem generalizes the SCC decomposition problem of graphs and closed recurrent sets of Markov chains. The model of symbolic algorithms is widely used in formal verification and model-checking, where access to the input model is restricted to only symbolic operations (e.g., basic set operations and computation of one-step neighborhood). For an input MDP with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the classical symbolic algorithm from the 1990s for the MEC decomposition requires $O(n^2)$ symbolic operations and $O(1)$ symbolic space. The only other symbolic algorithm for the MEC decomposition requires $O(n sqrt{m})$ symbolic operations and $O(sqrt{m})$ symbolic space. A main open question is whether the worst-case $O(n^2)$ bound for symbolic operations can be beaten. We present a symbolic algorithm that requires $widetilde{O}(n^{1.5})$ symbolic operations and $widetilde{O}(sqrt{n})$ symbolic space. Moreover, the parametrization of our algorithm provides a trade-off between symbolic operations and symbolic space: for all $0<epsilon leq 1/2$ the symbolic algorithm requires $widetilde{O}(n^{2-epsilon})$ symbolic operations and $widetilde{O}(n^{epsilon})$ symbolic space ($widetilde{O}$ hides poly-logarithmic factors). Using our techniques we present faster algorithms for computing the almost-sure winning regions of $omega$-regular objectives for MDPs. We consider the canonical parity objectives for $omega$-regular objectives, and for parity objectives with $d$-priorities we present an algorithm that computes the almost-sure winning region with $widetilde{O}(n^{2-epsilon})$ symbolic operations and $widetilde{O}(n^{epsilon})$ symbolic space, for all $0 < epsilon leq 1/2$.
