An Algorithm for Bichromatic Sorting with Polylog Competitive Ratio

Authors: Mayank Goswami and Riko Jacob

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 287, 15th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2024)


Abstract
The problem of sorting with priced information was introduced by [Charikar, Fagin, Guruswami, Kleinberg, Raghavan, Sahai (CFGKRS), STOC 2000]. In this setting, different comparisons have different (potentially infinite) costs. The goal is to find a sorting algorithm with small competitive ratio, defined as the (worst-case) ratio of the algorithm’s cost to the cost of the cheapest proof of the sorted order. The simple case of bichromatic sorting posed by [CFGKRS] remains open: We are given two sets A and B of total size N, and the cost of an A-A comparison or a B-B comparison is higher than an A-B comparison. The goal is to sort A ∪ B. An Ω(log N) lower bound on competitive ratio follows from unit-cost sorting. Note that this is a generalization of the famous nuts and bolts problem, where A-A and B-B comparisons have infinite cost, and elements of A and B are guaranteed to alternate in the final sorted order. In this paper we give a randomized algorithm InversionSort with an almost-optimal w.h.p. competitive ratio of O(log³ N). This is the first algorithm for bichromatic sorting with a o(N) competitive ratio.

Fragile Complexity of Comparison-Based Algorithms

Authors: Peyman Afshani, Rolf Fagerberg, David Hammer, Riko Jacob, Irina Kostitsyna, Ulrich Meyer, Manuel Penschuck, and Nodari Sitchinava

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)


Abstract
We initiate a study of algorithms with a focus on the computational complexity of individual elements, and introduce the fragile complexity of comparison-based algorithms as the maximal number of comparisons any individual element takes part in. We give a number of upper and lower bounds on the fragile complexity for fundamental problems, including Minimum, Selection, Sorting and Heap Construction. The results include both deterministic and randomized upper and lower bounds, and demonstrate a separation between the two settings for a number of problems. The depth of a comparator network is a straight-forward upper bound on the worst case fragile complexity of the corresponding fragile algorithm. We prove that fragile complexity is a different and strictly easier property than the depth of comparator networks, in the sense that for some problems a fragile complexity equal to the best network depth can be achieved with less total work and that with randomization, even a lower fragile complexity is possible.

External Memory Priority Queues with Decrease-Key and Applications to Graph Algorithms

Authors: John Iacono, Riko Jacob, and Konstantinos Tsakalidis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)


Abstract
We present priority queues in the external memory model with block size B and main memory size M that support on N elements, operation Update (a combination of operations Insert and DecreaseKey) in O(1/Blog_{M/B} N/B) amortized I/Os and operations ExtractMin and Delete in O(ceil[(M^epsilon)/B log_{M/B} N/B] log_{M/B} N/B) amortized I/Os, for any real epsilon in (0,1), using O(N/Blog_{M/B} N/B) blocks. Previous I/O-efficient priority queues either support these operations in O(1/Blog_2 N/B) amortized I/Os [Kumar and Schwabe, SPDP '96] or support only operations Insert, Delete and ExtractMin in optimal O(1/Blog_{M/B} N/B) amortized I/Os, however without supporting DecreaseKey [Fadel et al., TCS '99]. We also present buffered repository trees that support on a multi-set of N elements, operation Insert in O(1/Blog_M/B N/B) I/Os and operation Extract on K extracted elements in O(M^{epsilon} log_M/B N/B + K/B) amortized I/Os, using O(N/B) blocks. Previous results achieve O(1/Blog_2 N/B) I/Os and O(log_2 N/B + K/B) I/Os, respectively [Buchsbaum et al., SODA '00]. Our results imply improved O(E/Blog_{M/B} E/B) I/Os for single-source shortest paths, depth-first search and breadth-first search algorithms on massive directed dense graphs (V,E) with E = Omega (V^(1+epsilon)), epsilon > 0 and V = Omega (M), which is equal to the I/O-optimal bound for sorting E values in external memory.

11. Multistage Methods for Freight Train Classification

Authors: Riko Jacob, Peter Marton, Jens Maue, and Marc Nunkesser

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 7, 7th Workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS'07) (2007)


Abstract
In this paper we establish a consistent encoding of freight train classification methods. This encoding scheme presents a powerful tool for efficient presentation and analysis of classification methods, which we successfully apply to illustrate the most relevant historic results from a more theoretical point of view. We analyze their performance precisely and develop new classification methods making use of the inherent optimality condition of the encoding. We conclude with deriving optimal algorithms and complexity results for restricted real-world settings.

A Game-Theoretic Approach to Line Planning

Authors: Anita Schöbel and Silvia Schwarze

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
We present a game-theoretic model for the line planning problem in public transportation, in which each line acts as player and aims to minimize a cost function which is related to the traffic along its edges. We analyze the model and in particular show that a potential function exists. Based on this result, we present a method for calculating equilibria and present first numerical results using the railway network of {it Deutsche Bahn}.

An Efficient MIP Model for Locomotive Scheduling with Time Windows

Authors: Martin Aronsson, Per Kreuger, and Jonatan Gjerdrum

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
This paper presents an IP model for a vehicle routing and scheduling problem from the domain of freight railways. The problem is non-capacitated but allows non-binary integer flows of vehicles between transports with departure times variable within fixed intervals. The model has been developed with and has found practical use at Green Cargo, the largest freight rail operator in Sweden.

Freight Service Design for the Italian Railways Company

Authors: Marco Campetella, Guglielmo Lulli, Ugo Pietropaoli, and Nicoletta Ricciardi

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
In this paper, we present a mathematical model to design the service network, that is the set of origin-destination connections. The resulting model considers both full and empty freight car movements, and takes into account handling costs. More specifically, the model suggests the services to provide, as well as the number of trains and the number and type of cars traveling on each connection. Quality of service, which is measured as total travel time, is established by minimizing the waiting time of cars at intermediate stations. Our approach yields a multi-commodity network design problem with concave arc cost functions. To solve this problem, we implement a tabu search procedure which adopts ``perturbing'' mechanisms to force the algorithm to explore a larger portion of the feasible region. Computational results on realistic instances show a significant improvement over current practice.

Locomotive and Wagon Scheduling in Freight Transport

Authors: Armin Fügenschuh, Henning Homfeld, Andreas Huck, and Alexander Martin

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
We present a new model for a strategic locomotive scheduling problem arising at the Deutsche Bahn AG. The model is based on a multi-commodity min-cost flow formulation that is also used for public bus scheduling problems. However, several new aspects have to be additionally taken into account, such as cyclic departures of the trains, time windows on starting and arrival times, network-load dependend travel times, and a transfer of wagons between trains. The model is formulated as an integer programming problem, and solutions are obtained using commercial standard software. Computational results for several test instances are presented.

Periodic Metro Scheduling

Authors: Evangelos Bampas, Georgia Kaouri, Michael Lampis, and Aris Pagourtzis

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
We introduce the { extsc{Periodic Metro Sched-ul-ing}} ({ extsc{PMS}}) problem, which aims in generating a periodic timetable for a given set of routes and a given time period, in such a way that the minimum time distance between any two successive trains that pass from the same point of the network is maximized. This can be particularly useful in cases where trains use the same rail segment quite often, as happens in metropolitan rail networks. We present exact algorithms for ({ extsc{PMS}}) in chain and spider networks, and constant ratio approximation algorithms for ring networks and for a special class of tree networks. Some of our algorithms are based on a reduction to the { extsc{Path Coloring}} problem, while others rely on techniques specially designed for the new problem.

QoS-aware Multicommodity Flows and Transportation Planning

Authors: George Tsaggouris and Christos Zaroliagis

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
We consider the emph{QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow} problem, a natural generalization of the weighted multicommodity flow problem where the demands and commodity values are elastic to the Quality-of-Service characteristics of the underlying network. The problem is fundamental in transportation planning and also has important applications beyond the transportation domain. We provide a FPTAS for the QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow problem by building upon a Lagrangian relaxation method and a recent FPTAS for the non-additive shortest path problem.

Robustness and Recovery in Train Scheduling - a Case Study from DSB S-tog a/s

Authors: Mads Hofman, Line Madsen, Julie Jespersen Groth, Jens Clausen, and Jesper Larsen

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 5, 6th Workshop on Algorithmic Methods and Models for Optimization of Railways (ATMOS'06) (2006)


Abstract
This paper presents a simulation model to study the robustness of timetables of DSB S-tog a/s, the city rail of Copenhagen. Dealing with rush hour scenarios only, the simulation model investigates the effects of disturbances on the S-tog network. Several timetables are analyzed with respect to robustness. Some of these are used in operation and some are generated for the purpose of investigating timetables with specific alternative characteristics.
