Topological Lower Bounds in Complexity Theory

The first goal of this thesis is to present two different methods, originally developed by Björner, Lovász and Yao [4], for proving lower bounds on the worst-case complexity in the linear decision tree model, by applying them to the k-EQUAL PROBLEM. Both methods are based on the computation of topol...
