Abstract

We prove a version of a “Reverse Newman Theorem” in information complexity: every private-coin communication protocol with information complexity I and communication complexity C can be converted into a public-coin protocol with the same behavior so that it’s information complexity does not exceed \(O\left( \sqrt{IC}\right) \). “Same behavior” means that the transcripts of these two protocols are identically distributed on each pair of inputs. Such a conversion was previously known only for one-way protocols. Our result provides a new proof for the best-known compression theorem in Information Complexity.
