Abstract

We discuss how lower bounds can be obtained for noisy

computation models by simulating the noise with "sampling algorithms".
Using this method, we obtain elementary proofs of the Evans-Pippenger
lower bounds on the depth of noisy decision trees. We also prove tight
lower bounds on the number of broadcasts needed to compute functions
like parity and majority in a wireless sensor network.
