The Complexity of Periodic Energy Minimisation

Authors: Duncan Adamson, Argyrios Deligkas, Vladimir V. Gusev, and Igor Potapov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 241, 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2022)


Abstract
The computational complexity of pairwise energy minimisation of N points in real space is a long-standing open problem. The idea of the potential intractability of the problem was supported by a lack of progress in finding efficient algorithms, even when restricted the integer grid approximation. In this paper we provide a firm answer to the problem on ℤ^d by showing that for a large class of pairwise energy functions the problem of periodic energy minimisation is NP-hard if the size of the period (known as a unit cell) is fixed, and is undecidable otherwise. We do so by introducing an abstraction of pairwise average energy minimisation as a mathematical problem, which covers many existing models. The most influential aspects of this work are showing for the first time: 1) undecidability of average pairwise energy minimisation in general 2) computational hardness for the most natural model with periodic boundary conditions, and 3) novel reductions for a large class of generic pairwise energy functions covering many physical abstractions at once. In particular, we develop a new tool of overlapping digital rhombuses to incorporate the properties of the physical force fields, and we connect it with classical tiling problems. Moreover, we illustrate the power of such reductions by incorporating more physical properties such as charge neutrality, and we show an inapproximability result for the extreme case of the 1D average energy minimisation problem.

Faster Exploration of Some Temporal Graphs

Authors: Duncan Adamson, Vladimir V. Gusev, Dmitriy Malyshev, and Viktor Zamaraev

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 221, 1st Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2022)


Abstract
A temporal graph G = (G_1, G_2, ..., G_T) is a graph represented by a sequence of T graphs over a common set of vertices, such that at the i-th time step only the edge set E_i is active. The temporal graph exploration problem asks for a shortest temporal walk on some temporal graph visiting every vertex. We show that temporal graphs with n vertices can be explored in O(k n^{1.5} log n) days if the underlying graph has treewidth k and in O(n^{1.75} log n) days if the underlying graph is planar. Furthermore, we show that any temporal graph whose underlying graph is a cycle with k chords can be explored in at most 6kn days. Finally, we demonstrate that there are temporal realisations of sub cubic planar graphs that cannot be explored faster than in Ω(n log n) days. All these improve best known results in the literature.

Ranking Bracelets in Polynomial Time

Authors: Duncan Adamson, Vladimir V. Gusev, Igor Potapov, and Argyrios Deligkas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 191, 32nd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2021)


Abstract
The main result of the paper is the first polynomial-time algorithm for ranking bracelets. The time-complexity of the algorithm is O(k²⋅ n⁴), where k is the size of the alphabet and n is the length of the considered bracelets. The key part of the algorithm is to compute the rank of any word with respect to the set of bracelets by finding three other ranks: the rank over all necklaces, the rank over palindromic necklaces, and the rank over enclosing apalindromic necklaces. The last two concepts are introduced in this paper. These ranks are key components to our algorithm in order to decompose the problem into parts. Additionally, this ranking procedure is used to build a polynomial-time unranking algorithm.

Computational Complexity of Synchronization under Regular Constraints

Authors: Henning Fernau, Vladimir V. Gusev, Stefan Hoffmann, Markus Holzer, Mikhail V. Volkov, and Petra Wolf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)


Abstract
Many variations of synchronization of finite automata have been studied in the previous decades. Here, we suggest studying the question if synchronizing words exist that belong to some fixed constraint language, given by some partial finite automaton called constraint automaton. We show that this synchronization problem becomes PSPACE-complete even for some constraint automata with two states and a ternary alphabet. In addition, we characterize constraint automata with arbitrarily many states for which the constrained synchronization problem is polynomial-time solvable. We classify the complexity of the constrained synchronization problem for constraint automata with two states and two or three letters completely and lift those results to larger classes of finite automata.

Attainable Values of Reset Thresholds

Authors: Michalina Dzyga, Robert Ferens, Vladimir V. Gusev, and Marek Szykula

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)


Abstract
An automaton is synchronizing if there exists a word that sends all states of the automaton to a single state. The reset threshold is the length of the shortest such word. We study the set RT_n of attainable reset thresholds by automata with n states. Relying on constructions of digraphs with known local exponents we show that the intervals [1, (n^2-3n+4)/2] and [(p-1)(q-1), p(q-2)+n-q+1], where 2 <= p < q <= n, p+q > n, gcd(p,q)=1, belong to RT_n, even if restrict our attention to strongly connected automata. Moreover, we prove that in this case the smallest value that does not belong to RT_n is at least n^2 - O(n^{1.7625} log n / log log n). This value is increased further assuming certain conjectures about the gaps between consecutive prime numbers. We also show that any value smaller than n(n-1)/2 is attainable by an automaton with a sink state and any value smaller than n^2-O(n^{1.5}) is attainable in general case. Furthermore, we solve the problem of existence of slowly synchronizing automata over an arbitrarily large alphabet, by presenting for every fixed size of the alphabet an infinite series of irreducibly synchronizing automata with the reset threshold n^2-O(n).

On Synchronizing Colorings and the Eigenvectors of Digraphs

Authors: Vladimir V. Gusev and Elena V. Pribavkina

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 58, 41st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2016)


Abstract
An automaton is synchronizing if there exists a word that sends all states of the automaton to a single state. A coloring of a digraph with a fixed out-degree k is a distribution of k labels over the edges resulting in a deterministic finite automaton. The famous road coloring theorem states that every primitive digraph has a synchronizing coloring. We study recent conjectures claiming that the number of synchronizing colorings is large in the worst and average cases. Our approach is based on the spectral properties of the adjacency matrix A(G) of a digraph G. Namely, we study the relation between the number of synchronizing colorings of G and the structure of the dominant eigenvector v of A(G). We show that a vector v has no partition of coordinates into blocks of equal sum if and only if all colorings of the digraphs associated with v are synchronizing. Furthermore, if for each b there exists at most one partition of the coordinates of v into blocks summing up to b, and the total number of partitions is equal to s, then the fraction of synchronizing colorings among all colorings of G is at least (k-s)/k. We also give a combinatorial interpretation of some known results concerning an upper bound on the minimal length of synchronizing words in terms of v.
