Shrnutí:We establish two results regarding the query complexity of bounded-error randomized algorithms. * Bounded-error separation theorem. There exists a total function \(f : \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}\) whose \(\epsilon\)-error randomized query complexity satisfies \(\overline{\mathrm{R}}_\epsilon(f) = \Omega( \mathrm{R}(f) \cdot \log\frac1\epsilon)\). * Strong direct sum theorem. For every function \(f\) and every \(k \ge 2\), the randomized query complexity of computing \(k\) instances of \(f\) simultaneously satisfies \(\overline{\mathrm{R}}_\epsilon(f^k) = \Theta(k \cdot \overline{\mathrm{R}}_{\frac\epsilon k}(f))\). As a consequence of our two main results, we obtain an optimal superlinear direct-sum-type theorem for randomized query complexity: there exists a function \(f\) for which \(\mathrm{R}(f^k) = \Theta( k \log k \cdot \mathrm{R}(f))\). This answers an open question of Drucker (2012). Combining this result with the query-to-communication complexity lifting theorem of G\"o\"os, Pitassi, and Watson (2017), this also shows that there is a total function whose public-coin randomized communication complexity satisfies \(\mathrm{R}^{\mathrm{cc}} (f^k) = \Theta( k \log k \cdot \mathrm{R}^{\mathrm{cc}}(f))\), answering a question of Feder, Kushilevitz, Naor, and Nisan (1995).
