Safe Sequences via Dominators in DAGs for Path-Covering Problems

Authors: Francisco Sena, Romeo Rizzi, and Alexandru I. Tomescu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
A path-covering problem on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) requires finding a set of source-to-sink paths that cover all the nodes, all the arcs, or subsets thereof, and additionally they are optimal with respect to some function. In this paper we study safe sequences of nodes or arcs, namely sequences that appear in some path of every path cover of a DAG. We show that safe sequences admit a simple characterization via cutnodes. Moreover, we establish a connection between maximal safe sequences and leaf-to-root paths in the source- and sink-dominator trees of the DAG, which may be of independent interest in the extensive literature on dominators. With dominator trees, safe sequences admit an O(n)-size representation and a linear-time output-sensitive enumeration algorithm running in time O(m + o), where n and m are the number of nodes and arcs, respectively, and o is the total length of the maximal safe sequences. We then apply maximal safe sequences to simplify Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) for two path-covering problems, LeastSquares and MinPathError, which are at the core of RNA transcript assembly problems from bioinformatics. On various datasets, maximal safe sequences can be computed in under 0.1 seconds per graph, on average, and ILP solvers whose search space is reduced in this manner exhibit significant speed-ups. For example on graphs with a large width, average speed-ups are in the range 50-250× for MinPathError and in the range 80-350× for LeastSquares. Optimizing ILPs using safe sequences can thus become a fast building block of practical RNA transcript assembly tools, and more generally, of path-covering problems.

Faster Algorithm for Bounded Tree Edit Distance in the Low-Distance Regime

Authors: Tomasz Kociumaka and Ali Shahali

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
The tree edit distance is a natural dissimilarity measure between rooted ordered trees whose nodes are labeled over an alphabet Σ. It is defined as the minimum number of node edits - insertions, deletions, and relabelings - required to transform one tree into the other. The weighted variant assigns costs ≥ 1 to edits (based on node labels), minimizing total cost rather than edit count. The unweighted tree edit distance between two trees of total size n can be computed in 𝒪(n^{2.6857}) time; in contrast, determining the weighted tree edit distance is fine-grained equivalent to the All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem and requires n³/2^Ω(√{log n}) time [Nogler, Polak, Saha, Vassilevska Williams, Xu, Ye; STOC'25]. These impractical super-quadratic times for large, similar trees motivate the bounded version, parameterizing runtime by the distance k to enable faster algorithms for k ≪ n. Prior algorithms for bounded unweighted edit distance achieve 𝒪(nk²log n) [Akmal & Jin; ICALP’21] and 𝒪(n + k⁷log k) [Das, Gilbert, Hajiaghayi, Kociumaka, Saha; STOC'23]. For weighted, only 𝒪(n + k^{15}) is known [Das, Gilbert, Hajiaghayi, Kociumaka, Saha; STOC'23]. We present an 𝒪(n + k⁶ log k)-time algorithm for bounded tree edit distance in both weighted/unweighted settings. First, we devise a simpler weighted 𝒪(nk² log n)-time algorithm. Next, we exploit periodic structures in input trees via an optimized universal kernel: modifying prior 𝒪(n)-time 𝒪(k⁵)-size kernels to generate such structured instances, enabling efficient analysis.

Deterministic Approximation Algorithm for Graph Burning

Authors: Matej Lieskovský

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
Graph Burning models a contagion spreading in a network as a process such that in each step one node is infected and also the infection spreads to all neighbors of previously infected nodes. Formally, the burning number b(G) of a given graph G = (V,E), possibly with edge lengths, is the minimum number g such that there exists a sequence of nodes v₁,…,v_g satisfying the property that for each w ∈ V there exists i ∈ {1,…,g} so that the distance between w and v_i is at most g-i. We present an elegant deterministic 2.314-approximation algorithm for the Graph Burning problem on general graphs with arbitrary edge lengths. This algorithm matches the approximation ratio of the previous randomized 2.314-approximation algorithm and improves on the previous deterministic 3-approximation algorithm.

Nondeterministic Asynchronous Dataflow in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Rafael Castro Gonçalves Silva, Laouen Fernet, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
We formalize nondeterministic asynchronous dataflow networks in Isabelle/HOL. Dataflow networks are comprised of operators that are capable of communicating with the network, performing silent computations, and making nondeterministic choices. We represent operators using a shallow embedding as codatatypes. Using this representation, we define standard asynchronous dataflow primitives, including sequential and parallel composition and a feedback operator. These primitives adhere to a number of laws from the literature, which we prove by coinduction using weak bisimilarity as our equality. Albeit coinductive and nondeterministic, our model is executable via code extraction to Haskell.

QSETH Strikes Again: Finer Quantum Lower Bounds for Lattice Problem, Strong Simulation, Hitting Set Problem, and More

Authors: Yanlin Chen, Yilei Chen, Rajendra Kumar, Subhasree Patro, and Florian Speelman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract
Despite the wide range of problems for which quantum computers offer a computational advantage over their classical counterparts, there are also many problems for which the best known quantum algorithm provides a speedup that is only quadratic, or even subquadratic. Such a situation could also be desirable if we don't want quantum computers to solve certain problems fast - say problems relevant to post-quantum cryptography. When searching for algorithms and when analyzing the security of cryptographic schemes, we would like to have evidence that these problems are difficult to solve on quantum computers; but how do we assess the exact complexity of these problems? For most problems, there are no known ways to directly prove time lower bounds, however it can still be possible to relate the hardness of disparate problems to show conditional lower bounds. This approach has been popular in the classical community, and is being actively developed for the quantum case [Aaronson et al., 2020; Buhrman et al., 2021; Harry Buhrman et al., 2022; Andris Ambainis et al., 2022]. In this paper, by the use of the QSETH framework [Buhrman et al., 2021] we are able to understand the quantum complexity of a few natural variants of CNFSAT, such as parity-CNFSAT or counting-CNFSAT, and also are able to comment on the non-trivial complexity of approximate versions of counting-CNFSAT. Without considering such variants, the best quantum lower bounds will always be quadratically lower than the equivalent classical bounds, because of Grover’s algorithm; however, we are able to show that quantum algorithms will likely not attain even a quadratic speedup for many problems. These results have implications for the complexity of (variations of) lattice problems, the strong simulation and hitting set problems, and more. In the process, we explore the QSETH framework in greater detail and present a useful guide on how to effectively use the QSETH framework.

Optimal Concolic Dynamic Partial Order Reduction

Authors: Mohammad Hossein Khoshechin Jorshari, Michalis Kokologiannakis, Rupak Majumdar, and Srinidhi Nagendra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Stateless model checking (SMC) software implementations requires exploring both concurrency- and data nondeterminism. Unfortunately, most SMC algorithms focus on efficient exploration of concurrency nondeterminism, thereby neglecting an important source of bugs. We present ConDpor, an SMC algorithm for unmodified Java programs that combines optimal dynamic partial order reduction (DPOR) for concurrency nondeterminism, with concolic execution for data nondeterminism. ConDpor is sound, complete, optimal, and parametric w.r.t. the memory consistency model. Our experiments confirm that ConDpor is exponentially faster than DPOR with small-domain enumeration. Overall, ConDpor opens the door for efficient exploration of concurrent programs with data nondeterminism.

Large Multi-Modal Model Cartographic Map Comprehension for Textual Locality Georeferencing

Authors: Kalana Wijegunarathna, Kristin Stock, and Christopher B. Jones

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 346, 13th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2025)

Abstract
Millions of biological sample records collected in the last few centuries archived in natural history collections are un-georeferenced. Georeferencing complex locality descriptions associated with these collection samples is a highly labour-intensive task collection agencies struggle with. None of the existing automated methods exploit maps that are an essential tool for georeferencing complex relations. We present preliminary experiments and results of a novel method that exploits multi-modal capabilities of recent Large Multi-Modal Models (LMM). This method enables the model to visually contextualize spatial relations it reads in the locality description. We use a grid-based approach to adapt these auto-regressive models for this task in a zero-shot setting. Our experiments conducted on a small manually annotated dataset show impressive results for our approach (∼1 km Average distance error) compared to uni-modal georeferencing with Large Language Models and existing georeferencing tools. The paper also discusses the findings of the experiments in light of an LMM’s ability to comprehend fine-grained maps. Motivated by these results, a practical framework is proposed to integrate this method into a georeferencing workflow.

Reducing Quantum Circuit Synthesis to #SAT

Authors: Dekel Zak, Jingyi Mei, Jean-Marie Lagniez, and Alfons Laarman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)

Abstract
Quantum circuit synthesis is the task of decomposing a given quantum operator into a sequence of elementary quantum gates. Since the finite target gate set cannot exactly implement any given operator, approximation is often necessary. Model counting, or #SAT, has recently been demonstrated as a promising new approach for tackling core problems in quantum circuit analysis. In this work, we show for the first time that the universal quantum circuit synthesis problem can be reduced to maximum model counting. We formulate a #SAT encoding for exact and approximate depth-optimal quantum circuit synthesis into the Clifford+T gate set. We evaluate our method with an open-source implementation that uses the maximum model counter d4Max as a backend. For this purpose, we extended d4Max with support for complex and negative weights to represent amplitudes. Experimental results show that existing classical tools have potential for the quantum circuit synthesis problem.

Multi-Objective Memory Bandwidth Regulation and Cache Partitioning for Multicore Real-Time Systems

Authors: Binqi Sun, Zhihang Wei, Andrea Bastoni, Debayan Roy, Mirco Theile, Tomasz Kloda, Rodolfo Pellizzoni, and Marco Caccamo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)

Abstract
Memory bandwidth regulation and cache partitioning are widely used techniques for achieving predictable timing in real-time computing systems. Combined with partitioned scheduling, these methods require careful co-allocation of tasks and resources to cores, as task execution times strongly depend on available allocated resources. To address this challenge, this paper presents a 0-1 linear program for task-resource co-allocation, along with a multi-objective heuristic designed to minimize resource usage while guaranteeing schedulability under a preemptive EDF scheduling policy. Our heuristic employs a multi-layer framework, where an outer layer explores resource allocations using Pareto-pruned search, and an inner layer optimizes task allocation by solving a knapsack problem using dynamic programming. To evaluate the performance of the proposed optimization algorithm, we profile real-world benchmarks on an embedded AMD UltraScale+ ZCU102 platform, with fine-grained resource partitioning enabled by the Jailhouse hypervisor, leveraging cache set partitioning and MemGuard for memory bandwidth regulation. Experiments based on the benchmarking results show that the proposed 0-1 linear program outperforms existing mixed-integer programs by finding more optimal solutions within the same time limit. Moreover, the proposed multi-objective multi-layer heuristic performs consistently better than the state-of-the-art multi-resource-task co-allocation algorithm in terms of schedulability, resource usage, number of non-dominated solutions, and computational efficiency.

Bayesian Inference in Quantum Programs

Authors: Christina Gehnen, Dominique Unruh, and Joost-Pieter Katoen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
Conditioning is a key feature in probabilistic programming to enable modeling the influence of data (also known as observations) to the probability distribution described by such programs. Determining the posterior distribution is also known as Bayesian inference. This paper equips a quantum while-language with conditioning, defines its denotational and operational semantics over infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, and shows their equivalence. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of weakest (liberal) precondition-transformers and derive inductive characterizations of these transformers. It is shown how w(l)p-transformers can be used to assess the effect of Bayesian inference on (possibly diverging) quantum programs.

Satisfiability of Commutative vs. Non-Commutative CSPs

Authors: Andrei A. Bulatov and Stanislav Živný

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
The Mermin-Peres magic square is a celebrated example of a system of Boolean linear equations that is not (classically) satisfiable but is satisfiable via linear operators on a Hilbert space of dimension four. A natural question is then, for what kind of problems such a phenomenon occurs? Atserias, Kolaitis, and Severini answered this question for all Boolean Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs): For 0-Valid-SAT, 1-Valid-SAT, 2-SAT, Horn-SAT, and Dual Horn-SAT, classical satisfiability and operator satisfiability is the same and thus there is no gap; for all other Boolean CSPs, these notions differ as there are gaps, i.e., there are unsatisfiable instances that are satisfiable via operators on Hilbert spaces. We generalize their result to CSPs on arbitrary finite domains and give an almost complete classification: First, we show that NP-hard CSPs admit a separation between classical satisfiability and satisfiability via operators on finite- and infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Second, we show that tractable CSPs of bounded width have no satisfiability gaps of any kind. Finally, we show that tractable CSPs of unbounded width can simulate, in a satisfiability-gap-preserving fashion, linear equations over an Abelian group of prime order p; for such CSPs, we obtain a separation of classical satisfiability and satisfiability via operators on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Furthermore, if p = 2, such CSPs also have gaps separating classical satisfiability and satisfiability via operators on finite- and infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

Type-Safe and Portable Support for Packed Data (Experience Paper)

Authors: Arthur Jamet and Michael Vollmer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
When components of a system exchange data, they need to serialise the data so that it can be sent over the network. Then, the recipient has to deserialise the data in order to be able to process it. These steps take time and have an impact on the overall system’s performance. A solution to this is to use packed data, which has a unified representation between the memory and the network, removing the need for any marshalling steps. Additionally, using this data representation can improve the program’s performance thanks to the data locality enabled by the compact representation of the data in memory. Unfortunately, no mainstream programming languages support packed data, whether it’s out-of-the-box or through a compiler extension. We present packed-data, a Haskell library that allows for type safe building and reading of packed data in a functional style. The library does not rely on compiler modifications, making it portable, and leverages meta-programming to allow programmers to pack their own data types effortlessly. We evaluate the usability and performance of the library, and conclude that it allows traversing packed data up to 60% faster than unpacked data. We also reflect on how to enhance the performance of library-based support for packed data. Our implementation approach is general and can easily be used with any programming languages that support higher-kinded types.

Automatic Goal Clone Detection in Rocq

Authors: Ali Ghanbari

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Proof engineering in Rocq is a labor-intensive process, and as proof developments grow in size, redundancy and maintainability become challenges. One such redundancy is goal cloning, i.e., proving α-equivalent goals multiple times, leading to wasted effort and bloated proof scripts. In this paper, we introduce clone-finder, a novel technique for detecting goal clones in Rocq proofs. By leveraging the formal notion of α-equivalence for Gallina terms, clone-finder systematically identifies duplicated proof goals across large Rocq codebases. We evaluate clone-finder on 40 real-world Rocq projects from the CoqGym dataset. Our results reveal that each project contains an average of 27.73 instances of goal clone. We observed that the clones can be categorized as either exact goal duplication, generalization, or α-equivalent goals with different proofs, each signifying varying levels duplicate effort. Our findings highlight significant untapped potential for proof reuse in Rocq-based formal verification projects, paving the way for future improvements in automated proof engineering.

Scaling Up: Revisiting Mining Android Sandboxes at Scale for Malware Classification (Replication Paper)

Authors: Francisco Handrick Tomaz da Costa, Ismael Medeiros, Leandro Oliveira, João Calássio, Rodrigo Bonifácio, Krishna Narasimhan, Mira Mezini, and Márcio Ribeiro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
The widespread use of smartphones in daily life has raised concerns about privacy and security among researchers and practitioners. Privacy issues are generally highly prevalent in mobile applications, particularly targeting the Android platform - the most popular mobile operating system. For this reason, several techniques have been proposed to identify malicious behavior in Android applications, including the Mining Android Sandbox approach (MAS approach), which aims to identify malicious behavior in repackaged Android applications (apps). However, previous empirical studies evaluated the MAS approach using a small dataset consisting of only 102 pairs of original and repackaged apps. This limitation raises questions about the external validity of their findings and whether the MAS approach can be generalized to larger datasets. To address these concerns, this paper presents the results of a replication study focused on evaluating the performance of the MAS approach regarding its capabilities of correctly classifying malware from different families. Unlike previous studies, our research employs a dataset that is an order of magnitude larger, comprising 4,076 pairs of apps covering a more diverse range of Android malware families. Surprisingly, our findings indicate a poor performance of the MAS approach for identifying malware, with the F1-score decreasing from 0.90 for the small dataset used in the previous studies to 0.54 in our more extensive dataset. Upon closer examination, we discovered that certain malware families partially account for the low accuracy of the MAS approach, which fails to classify a repackaged version of an app as malware correctly. Our findings highlight the limitations of the MAS approach, particularly when scaled, and underscore the importance of complementing it with other techniques to detect a broader range of malware effectively. This opens avenues for further discussion on addressing the blind spots that affect the accuracy of the MAS approach.

Optimal Motion Planning for Two Square Robots in a Rectilinear Environment

Authors: Pankaj K. Agarwal, Mark de Berg, Benjamin Holmgren, Alex Steiger, and Martijn Struijs

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
Let W ⊂ ℝ² be a rectilinear polygonal environment (that is, a rectilinear polygon potentially with holes) with a total of n vertices, and let A,B be two robots, each modeled as an axis-aligned unit square, that can move rectilinearly inside W. The goal is to compute an optimal collision-free motion plan π for A and B between a given pair of source and target configurations. We study two variants of this problem and obtain the following results. - Min-Sum: Here the goal is to compute a motion plan that minimizes the sum of the lengths of the paths of the robots. We present an O(n⁴log n)-time algorithm for computing an optimal solution to the min-sum problem. This is the first polynomial-time algorithm to compute an optimal, collision-free motion of two robots amid obstacles in a planar polygonal environment. - Min-Makespan: Here the robots can move with at most unit speed, and the goal is to compute a motion plan that minimizes the maximum time taken by a robot to reach its target location. We prove that the min-makespan variant is NP-hard.
