On Constrained Intersection Representations of Graphs and Digraphs

Authors: Ferdinando Cicalese, Clément Dallard, and Martin Milanič

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 248, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022)

Abstract
We study the problem of determining minimal directed intersection representations of DAGs in a model introduced by [Kostochka, Liu, Machado, and Milenkovic, ISIT2019]: vertices are assigned color sets, two vertices are connected by an arc if and only if they share at least one color and the tail vertex has a strictly smaller color set than the head, and the goal is to minimize the total number of colors. We show that the problem is polynomially solvable in the class of triangle-free and Hamiltonian DAGs and also disclose the relationship of this problem with several other models of intersection representations of graphs and digraphs.

Pattern Discovery in Colored Strings

Authors: Zsuzsanna Lipták, Simon J. Puglisi, and Massimiliano Rossi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 160, 18th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2020)

Abstract
We consider the problem of identifying patterns of interest in colored strings. A colored string is a string in which each position is colored with one of a finite set of colors. Our task is to find substrings that always occur followed by the same color at the same distance. The problem is motivated by applications in embedded systems verification, in particular, assertion mining. The goal there is to automatically infer properties of the embedded system from the analysis of its simulation traces. We show that the number of interesting patterns is upper-bounded by 𝒪(n²) where n is the length of the string. We introduce a baseline algorithm with 𝒪(n²) running time which identifies all interesting patterns for all colors in the string satisfying certain minimality conditions. When one is interested in patterns related to only one color, we provide an algorithm that identifies patterns in 𝒪(n²log n) time, but is faster than the first algorithm in practice, both on simulated and on real-world patterns.

Explicit Non-Adaptive Combinatorial Group Testing Schemes

Authors: Ely Porat and Amir Rotschild

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
Group testing is a long studied problem in combinatorics: A small set of r ill people should be identified out of the whole (n people) by using only queries (tests) of the form "Does set X contain an ill human?". In this paper we provide an explicit construction of a testing scheme which is better (smaller) than any known explicit construction. This scheme has \Theta(min[r2 log n, n])tests which is as many as the best non-explicit schemes have. In our construction we use a fact that may have a value by its own right: Linear error-correction codes with parameters [m, k, \delta m]q meeting the Gilbert-Varshamov bound may be constructed quite efficiently, in \Theta[q^{k}m) time.

Locating and Detecting Arrays for Interaction Faults

Authors: Charles J. Colbourn and Daniel W. McClary

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
The identification of interaction faults in component-based systems has focused on indicating the presence of faults, rather than their location and magnitude. While this is a valuable step in screening a system for interaction faults prior to its release, it provides little information to assist in the correction of such faults. Consequently tests to reveal the location of interaction faults are of interest. The problem of nonadaptive location of interaction faults is formalized under the hypothesis that the system contains (at most) some number d of faults, each involving (at most) some number t of interacting factors. Restrictions on the number and size of the putative faults lead to numerous variants of the basic problem. The relationships between this class of problems and interaction testing using covering arrays to indicate the presence of faults, designed experiments to measure and model faults, and combinatorial group testing to locate faults in a more general testing scenario, are all examined. While each has some definite similarities with the fault location problems for component-based systems, each has some striking differences as well. In this paper, we formulate the combinatorial problems for locating and detecting arrays to undertake interaction fault location. Necessary conditions for existence are established, and using a close connection to covering arrays, asymptotic bounds on the size of minimal locating and detecting arrays are established. A final version of this paper appears in J Comb Optim (2008) 15: 17-48.

Minimax Trees in Linear Time with Applications

Authors: Pawel Gawrychowski and Travis Gagie

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
A minimax tree is similar to a Huffman tree except that, instead of minimizing the weighted average of the leaves' depths, it minimizes the maximum of any leaf's weight plus its depth. Golumbic (1976) introduced minimax trees and gave a Huffman-like, $O (n log n)$-time algorithm for building them. Drmota and Szpankowski (2002) gave another $O (n log n)$-time algorithm, which takes linear time when the weights are already sorted by their fractional parts. In this paper we give the first linear-time algorithm for building minimax trees for unsorted real weights.

Pattern matching with don't cares and few errors

Authors: Raphael Clifford, Klim Efremo, Ely Porat, and Amir Rotschild

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
We present solutions for the k-mismatch pattern matching problem with don't cares. Given a text t of length n and a pattern p of length m with don't care symbols and a bound k, our algorithms find all the places that the pattern matches the text with at most k mismatches. We first give an \Theta(n(k + logmlog k) log n) time randomised algorithm which finds the correct answer with high probability. We then present a new deter- ministic \Theta(nk^2 log^m)time solution that uses tools originally developed for group testing. Taking our derandomisation approach further we de- velop an approach based on k-selectors that runs in \Theta(nk polylogm) time. Further, in each case the location of the mismatches at each alignment is also given at no extra cost.

Rounds in Combinatorial Search

Authors: Gábor Wiener

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
The search complexity of a separating system ${cal H} subseteq 2^{[m]}$ is the minimum number of questions of type ``$xin H$? hinspace '' (where $H in {cal H}$) needed in the worst case to determine a hidden element $xin [m]$. If we are allowed to ask the questions in at most $k$ batches then we speak of the emph{$k$-round} (or emph{$k$-stage}) complexity of ${cal H}$, denoted by $hbox{c}_k ({cal H})$. While $1$-round and $m$-round complexities (called non-adaptive and adaptive complexities, respectively) are widely studied (see for example Aigner cite{A}), much less is known about other possible values of $k$, though the cases with small values of $k$ (tipically $k=2$) attracted significant attention recently, due to their applications in DNA library screening. It is clear that $ |{cal H}| geq hbox{c}_{1} ({cal H}) geq hbox{c}_{2} ({cal H}) geq ldots geq hbox{c}_{m} ({cal H})$. A group of problems raised by {G. O. H. Katona} cite{Ka} is to characterize those separating systems for which some of these inequalities are tight. In this paper we are discussing set systems ${cal H}$ with the property $|{cal H}| = hbox{c}_{k} ({cal H}) $ for any $kgeq 3$. We give a necessary condition for this property by proving a theorem about traces of hypergraphs which also has its own interest.

Some Aspects of Finite State Channel related to Hidden Markov Process

Authors: Kingo Kobayashi

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9281, Search Methodologies (2009)

Abstract
We have no satisfactory capacity formula for most channels with finite states. Here, we consider some interesting examples of finite state channels, such as Gilbert-Elliot channel, trapdoor channel, etc., to reveal special characters of problems and difficulties to determine the capacities. Meanwhile, we give a simple expression of the capacity formula for Gilbert-Elliot channel by using a hidden Markov source for the optimal input process. This idea should be extended to other finite state channels.
