On the Complexity of Computing Time Series Medians Under the Move-Split-Merge Metric

Authors: Jana Holznigenkemper, Christian Komusiewicz, Nils Morawietz, and Bernhard Seeger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 272, 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023)


Abstract
We initiate a study of the complexity of MSM-Median, the problem of computing a median of a set of k real-valued time series under the move-split-merge distance. This distance measure is based on three operations: moves, which may shift a data point in a time series; splits, which replace one data point in a time series by two consecutive data points of the same value; and merges, which replace two consecutive data points of equal value by a single data point of the same value. The cost of a move operation is the difference of the data point value before and after the operation, the cost of split and merge operations is defined via a given constant c. Our main results are as follows. First, we show that MSM-Median is NP-hard and W[1]-hard with respect to k for time series with at most three distinct values. Under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) our reduction implies that a previous dynamic programming algorithm with running time |I|^𝒪(k) [Holznigenkemper et al., Data Min. Knowl. Discov. '23] is essentially optimal. Here, |I| denotes the total input size. Second, we show that MSM-Median can be solved in 2^𝒪(d/c)⋅|I|^𝒪(1) time where d is the total distance of the median to the input time series.

A Graph-Theoretic Formulation of Exploratory Blockmodeling

Authors: Alexander Bille, Niels Grüttemeier, Christian Komusiewicz, and Nils Morawietz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 265, 21st International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2023)


Abstract
We present a new simple graph-theoretic formulation of the exploratory blockmodeling problem on undirected and unweighted one-mode networks. Our formulation takes as input the network G and the maximum number t of blocks for the solution model. The task is to find a minimum-size set of edge insertions and deletions that transform the input graph G into a graph G' with at most t neighborhood classes. Herein, a neighborhood class is a maximal set of vertices with the same neighborhood. The neighborhood classes of G' directly give the blocks and block interactions of the computed blockmodel. We analyze the classic and parameterized complexity of the exploratory blockmodeling problem, provide a branch-and-bound algorithm, an ILP formulation and several heuristics. Finally, we compare our exact algorithms to previous ILP-based approaches and show that the new algorithms are faster for t ≥ 4.

On the Complexity of Parameterized Local Search for the Maximum Parsimony Problem

Authors: Christian Komusiewicz, Simone Linz, Nils Morawietz, and Jannik Schestag

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)


Abstract
Maximum Parsimony is the problem of computing a most parsimonious phylogenetic tree for a taxa set X from character data for X. A common strategy to attack this notoriously hard problem is to perform a local search over the phylogenetic tree space. Here, one is given a phylogenetic tree T and wants to find a more parsimonious tree in the neighborhood of T. We study the complexity of this problem when the neighborhood contains all trees within distance k for several classic distance functions. For the nearest neighbor interchange (NNI), subtree prune and regraft (SPR), tree bisection and reconnection (TBR), and edge contraction and refinement (ECR) distances, we show that, under the exponential time hypothesis, there are no algorithms with running time |I|^o(k) where |I| is the total input size. Hence, brute-force algorithms with running time |X|^𝒪(k) ⋅ |I| are essentially optimal. In contrast to the above distances, we observe that for the sECR-distance, where the contracted edges are constrained to form a subtree, a better solution within distance k can be found in k^𝒪(k) ⋅ |I|^𝒪(1) time.

Parameterized Local Search for Vertex Cover: When Only the Search Radius Is Crucial

Authors: Christian Komusiewicz and Nils Morawietz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 249, 17th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2022)


Abstract
A k-swap W for a vertex cover S of a graph G is a vertex set of size at most k such that S' = (S ⧵ W) ∪ (W ⧵ S), the symmetric difference of S and W, is a vertex cover of G. If |S'| < |S|, then W is improving. In LS-Vertex Cover, one is given a vertex cover S of a graph G and wants to know if there is an improving k-swap for S in G. In applications of LS-Vertex Cover, k is a very small parameter that can be set by a user to determine the trade-off between running time and solution quality. Consequently, k can be considered to be a constant. Motivated by this and the fact that LS-Vertex Cover is W[1]-hard with respect to k, we aim for algorithms with running time 𝓁^f(k) ⋅ n^𝒪(1) where 𝓁 is a structural graph parameter upper-bounded by n. We say that such a running time grows mildly with respect to 𝓁 and strongly with respect to k. We obtain algorithms with such a running time for 𝓁 being the h-index of G, the treewidth of G, or the modular-width of G. In addition, we consider a novel parameter, the maximum degree over all quotient graphs in a modular decomposition of G. Moreover, we adapt these algorithms to the more general problem where each vertex is assigned a weight and where we want to find a d-improving k-swap, that is, a k-swap which decreases the weight of the vertex cover by at least d.

Finding 3-Swap-Optimal Independent Sets and Dominating Sets Is Hard

Authors: Christian Komusiewicz and Nils Morawietz

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


Abstract
For PLS-complete local search problems, there is presumably no polynomial-time algorithm which finds a locally optimal solution, even though determining whether a solution is locally optimal and replacing it by a better one if this is not the case can be done in polynomial time. We study local search for Weighted Independent Set and Weighted Dominating Set with the 3-swap neighborhood. The 3-swap neighborhood of a vertex set S in G is the set of vertex sets which can be obtained from S by exchanging at most three vertices. We prove the following dichotomy: On the negative side, the problem of finding a 3-swap-optimal independent set or dominating set is PLS-complete. On the positive side, locally optimal independent sets or dominating sets can be found in polynomial time when allowing all 3-swaps except a) the swaps that remove two vertices from the current solution and add one vertex to the solution or b) the swaps that remove one vertex from the current solution and add two vertices to the solution.

Covering Many (Or Few) Edges with k Vertices in Sparse Graphs

Authors: Tomohiro Koana, Christian Komusiewicz, André Nichterlein, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)


Abstract
We study the following two fixed-cardinality optimization problems (a maximization and a minimization variant). For a fixed α between zero and one we are given a graph and two numbers k ∈ ℕ and t ∈ ℚ. The task is to find a vertex subset S of exactly k vertices that has value at least (resp. at most for minimization) t. Here, the value of a vertex set computes as α times the number of edges with exactly one endpoint in S plus 1-α times the number of edges with both endpoints in S. These two problems generalize many prominent graph problems, such as Densest k-Subgraph, Sparsest k-Subgraph, Partial Vertex Cover, and Max (k,n-k)-Cut. In this work, we complete the picture of their parameterized complexity on several types of sparse graphs that are described by structural parameters. In particular, we provide kernelization algorithms and kernel lower bounds for these problems. A somewhat surprising consequence of our kernelizations is that Partial Vertex Cover and Max (k,n-k)-Cut not only behave in the same way but that the kernels for both problems can be obtained by the same algorithms.

Essentially Tight Kernels For (Weakly) Closed Graphs

Authors: Tomohiro Koana, Christian Komusiewicz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)


Abstract
We study kernelization of classic hard graph problems when the input graphs fulfill triadic closure properties. More precisely, we consider the recently introduced parameters closure number c and weak closure number γ [Fox et al., SICOMP 2020] in addition to the standard parameter solution size k. The weak closure number γ of a graph is upper-bounded by the minimum of its closure number c and its degeneracy d. For Capacitated Vertex Cover, Connected Vertex Cover, and Induced Matching we obtain the first kernels of size k^𝒪(γ), k^𝒪(γ), and (γk)^𝒪(γ), respectively. This extends previous results on the kernelization of these problems on degenerate graphs. These kernels are essentially tight as these problems are unlikely to admit kernels of size k^o(γ) by previous results on their kernelization complexity in degenerate graphs [Cygan et al., ACM TALG 2017]. For Capacitated Vertex Cover, we show that even a kernel of size k^o(c) is unlikely. In contrast, for Connected Vertex Cover, we obtain a problem kernel with 𝒪(ck²) vertices. Moreover, we prove that searching for an induced subgraph of order at least k belonging to a hereditary graph class 𝒢 admits a kernel of size k^𝒪(γ) when 𝒢 contains all complete and all edgeless graphs. Finally, we provide lower bounds for the kernelization of Independent Set on graphs with constant closure number c and kernels for Dominating Set on weakly closed split graphs and weakly closed bipartite graphs.

Refined Notions of Parameterized Enumeration Kernels with Applications to Matching Cut Enumeration

Authors: Petr A. Golovach, Christian Komusiewicz, Dieter Kratsch, and Van Bang Le

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 187, 38th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2021)


Abstract
An enumeration kernel as defined by Creignou et al. [Theory Comput. Syst. 2017] for a parameterized enumeration problem consists of an algorithm that transforms each instance into one whose size is bounded by the parameter plus a solution-lifting algorithm that efficiently enumerates all solutions from the set of the solutions of the kernel. We propose to consider two new versions of enumeration kernels by asking that the solutions of the original instance can be enumerated in polynomial time or with polynomial delay from the kernel solutions. Using the NP-hard Matching Cut problem parameterized by structural parameters such as the vertex cover number or the cyclomatic number of the input graph, we show that the new enumeration kernels present a useful notion of data reduction for enumeration problems which allows to compactly represent the set of feasible solutions.

Binary Matrix Completion Under Diameter Constraints

Authors: Tomohiro Koana, Vincent Froese, and Rolf Niedermeier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 187, 38th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2021)


Abstract
We thoroughly study a novel but basic combinatorial matrix completion problem: Given a binary incomplete matrix, fill in the missing entries so that the resulting matrix has a specified maximum diameter (that is, upper-bounding the maximum Hamming distance between any two rows of the completed matrix) as well as a specified minimum Hamming distance between any two of the matrix rows. This scenario is closely related to consensus string problems as well as to recently studied clustering problems on incomplete data. We obtain an almost complete picture concerning the complexity landscape (P vs NP) regarding the diameter constraints and regarding the number of missing entries per row of the incomplete matrix. We develop polynomial-time algorithms for maximum diameter three, which are based on Deza’s theorem [Discret. Math. 1973, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 1974] from extremal set theory. In this way, we also provide one of the rare links between sunflower techniques and stringology. On the negative side, we prove NP-hardness for diameter at least four. For the number of missing entries per row, we show polynomial-time solvability when there is only one missing entry and NP-hardness when there can be at least two missing entries. In general, our algorithms heavily rely on Deza’s theorem and the correspondingly identified sunflower structures pave the way towards solutions based on computing graph factors and solving 2-SAT instances.

Computing Dense and Sparse Subgraphs of Weakly Closed Graphs

Authors: Tomohiro Koana, Christian Komusiewicz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 181, 31st International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2020)


Abstract
A graph G is weakly γ-closed if every induced subgraph of G contains one vertex v such that for each non-neighbor u of v it holds that |N(u)∩ N(v)| < γ. The weak closure γ(G) of a graph, recently introduced by Fox et al. [SIAM J. Comp. 2020], is the smallest number such that G is weakly γ-closed. This graph parameter is never larger than the degeneracy (plus one) and can be significantly smaller. Extending the work of Fox et al. [SIAM J. Comp. 2020] on clique enumeration, we show that several problems related to finding dense subgraphs, such as the enumeration of bicliques and s-plexes, are fixed-parameter tractable with respect to γ(G). Moreover, we show that the problem of determining whether a weakly γ-closed graph G has a subgraph on at least k vertices that belongs to a graph class 𝒢 which is closed under taking subgraphs admits a kernel with at most γ k² vertices. Finally, we provide fixed-parameter algorithms for Independent Dominating Set and Dominating Clique when parameterized by γ+k where k is the solution size.

Colored Cut Games

Authors: Nils Morawietz, Niels Grüttemeier, Christian Komusiewicz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 182, 40th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2020)


Abstract
In a graph G = (V,E) with an edge coloring 𝓁:E → C and two distinguished vertices s and t, a colored (s,t)-cut is a set C̃ ⊆ C such that deleting all edges with some color c ∈ C̃ from G disconnects s and t. Motivated by applications in the design of robust networks, we introduce a family of problems called colored cut games. In these games, an attacker and a defender choose colors to delete and to protect, respectively, in an alternating fashion. It is the goal of the attacker to achieve a colored (s,t)-cut and the goal of the defender to prevent this. First, we show that for an unbounded number of alternations, colored cut games are PSPACE-complete. We then show that, even on subcubic graphs, colored cut games with a constant number i of alternations are complete for classes in the polynomial hierarchy whose level depends on i. To complete the dichotomy, we show that all colored cut games are polynomial-time solvable on graphs with degree at most two. Finally, we show that all colored cut games admit a polynomial kernel for the parameter k+κ_r where k denotes the total attacker budget and, for any constant r, κ_r is the number of vertex deletions that are necessary to transform G into a graph where the longest path has length at most r. In the case of r = 1, κ₁ is the vertex cover number vc of the input graph and we obtain a kernel with 𝒪(vc²k²) edges. Moreover, we introduce an algorithm solving the most basic colored cut game, Colored (s,t)-Cut, in 2^{vc + k}n^{𝒪(1)} time.

Exploiting c-Closure in Kernelization Algorithms for Graph Problems

Authors: Tomohiro Koana, Christian Komusiewicz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)


Abstract
A graph is c-closed if every pair of vertices with at least c common neighbors is adjacent. The c-closure of a graph G is the smallest number c such that G is c-closed. Fox et al. [SIAM J. Comput. '20] defined c-closure and investigated it in the context of clique enumeration. We show that c-closure can be applied in kernelization algorithms for several classic graph problems. We show that Dominating Set admits a kernel of size k^𝒪(c), that Induced Matching admits a kernel with 𝒪(c⁷ k⁸) vertices, and that Irredundant Set admits a kernel with 𝒪(c^{5/2} k³) vertices. Our kernelization exploits the fact that c-closed graphs have polynomially-bounded Ramsey numbers, as we show.

Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph and Strong Triadic Closure Parameterized by Distance to Low-Degree Graphs

Authors: Niels Grüttemeier, Christian Komusiewicz, and Nils Morawietz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 162, 17th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2020)


Abstract
Given an undirected graph G and integers c and k, the Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph problem asks whether we can delete at most k edges in G to obtain a graph that has a proper edge coloring with at most c colors. We show that Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph admits, for every fixed c, a linear-size problem kernel when parameterized by the edge deletion distance of G to a graph with maximum degree c-1. This parameterization measures the distance to instances that, due to Vizing’s famous theorem, are trivial yes-instances. For c≤ 4, we also provide a linear-size kernel for the same parameterization for Multi Strong Triadic Closure, a related edge coloring problem with applications in social network analysis. We provide further results for Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph parameterized by the vertex deletion distance to graphs where every component has order at most c and for the list-colored versions of both problems.

String Factorizations Under Various Collision Constraints

Authors: Niels Grüttemeier, Christian Komusiewicz, Nils Morawietz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 161, 31st Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2020)


Abstract
In the NP-hard Equality-Free String Factorization problem, we are given a string S and ask whether S can be partitioned into k factors that are pairwise distinct. We describe a randomized algorithm for Equality-Free String Factorization with running time 2^k⋅ k^{𝒪(1)}+𝒪(n) improving over previous algorithms with running time k^{𝒪(k)}+𝒪(n) [Schmid, TCS 2016; Mincu and Popa, Proc. SOFSEM 2020]. Our algorithm works for the generalization of Equality-Free String Factorization where equality can be replaced by an arbitrary polynomial-time computable equivalence relation on strings. We also consider two factorization problems to which this algorithm does not apply, namely Prefix-Free String Factorization where we ask for a factorization of size k such that no factor is a prefix of another factor and Substring-Free String Factorization where we ask for a factorization of size k such that no factor is a substring of another factor. We show that these two problems are NP-hard as well. Then, we show that Prefix-Free String Factorization with the prefix-free relation is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to k by providing a polynomial problem kernel. Finally, we show a generic ILP formulation for R-Free String Factorization where R is an arbitrary relation on strings. This formulation improves over a previous one for Equality-Free String Factorization in terms of the number of variables.
