They are modelled as an interaction between a prover and a protocol. Using proofs based on combinatorial topology, it has been shown that it is impossible to deterministically solve k-set agreement among n > k ≥ 2 processes in a wait-free manner. However, it was unknown whether proofs based on simpler techniques were possible. We explain why this impossibility result cannot be obtained by an extension-based proof and, hence, extension-based proofs are limited in power.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1145/3382734.3405743","month":"07","day":"31","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","conference":{"end_date":"2020-08-07","name":"PODC: Principles of Distributed Computing","start_date":"2020-08-03","location":"Virtual, Italy"},"date_updated":"2024-02-28T12:54:19Z","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"None","type":"conference","date_published":"2020-07-31T00:00:00Z","page":"54-56","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","_id":"8383","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450375825"]},"author":[{"last_name":"Alistarh","full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"James","full_name":"Aspnes, James","last_name":"Aspnes"},{"first_name":"Faith","last_name":"Ellen","full_name":"Ellen, Faith"},{"first_name":"Rati","full_name":"Gelashvili, Rati","last_name":"Gelashvili"},{"full_name":"Zhu, Leqi","last_name":"Zhu","first_name":"Leqi"}],"title":"Brief Announcement: Why Extension-Based Proofs Fail"}
