Abstract
In this paper, we prove a super-cubic lower bound on the size of a communication protocol for generalized Karchmer-Wigderson game for an explicit function f: {0,1}ⁿ → {0,1}^{log n}. Lower bounds for original Karchmer-Wigderson games correspond to De Morgan formula lower bounds, thus the best known size lower bound is cubic. The generalized Karchmer-Wigderson games are similar to the original ones, so we hope that our approach can provide an insight for proving better lower bounds on the original Karchmer-Wigderson games, and hence for proving new lower bounds on De Morgan formula size. To achieve super-cubic lower bound we adapt several techniques used in formula complexity to communication protocols, prove communication complexity lower bound for a composition of several functions with a multiplexer relation, and use a technique from [Ivan Mihajlin and Alexander Smal, 2021] to extract the "hardest" function from it. As a result, in this setting we are able to show that there is a relatively small set of functions such that at least one of them does not have a small protocol. The resulting lower bound of Ω̃(n^3.156) is significantly better than the bound obtained from the counting argument.
