Simple, Strict, Proper, and Directed: Comparing Reachability in Directed and Undirected Temporal Graphs

Authors: Michelle Döring

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
Temporal graphs model networks whose connections are available only at specific points in time. Several definitional subtleties - whether paths must follow strictly increasing time labels (strict vs. non-strict), whether adjacent edges cannot appear simultaneously (proper), and whether edges are forbidden to appear multiple times (simple) - give rise to different temporal graph settings. These distinctions directly impact the definition of temporal reachability, a core concept in temporal graph theory. Casteigts, Corsini, and Sarkar [TCS24] introduced a framework of equivalence notions to compare the expressive power of these settings focusing solely on undirected temporal graphs. In this work, we extend their framework to include the fundamental dimension of directed vs. undirected. Our contribution is three-fold. We (1) complete the undirected hierarchy by resolving the two open questions from [TCS24], (2) fully characterize the hierarchy of the directed settings, and (3) compare the directed and undirected settings, showing that directed temporal graphs are strictly more expressive than undirected temporal graphs in terms of reachability. Our structural results highlight both the limitations and strengths of various temporal graph settings - for example, directed + strict + simple graphs can realize every possible reachability graph, while directed + proper graphs necessarily induce at least one transitive reachability on each directed cycle. We also provide transformation procedures between temporal settings offering practical tools for transferring algorithms and hardness results across models.

Parameterised Holant Problems

Authors: Panagiotis Aivasiliotis, Andreas Göbel, Marc Roth, and Johannes Schmitt

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

Abstract
We investigate the complexity of parameterised holant problems p-Holant(𝒮) for families of symmetric signatures 𝒮. The parameterised holant framework has been introduced by Curticapean in 2015 as a counter-part to the classical and well-established theory of holographic reductions and algorithms, and it constitutes an extensive family of coloured and weighted counting constraint satisfaction problems on graph-like structures, encoding as special cases various well-studied counting problems in parameterised and fine-grained complexity theory such as counting edge-colourful k-matchings, graph-factors, Eulerian orientations or, more generally, subgraphs with weighted degree constraints. We establish an exhaustive complexity trichotomy along the set of signatures 𝒮: Depending on the signatures, p-Holant(𝒮) is either 1) solvable in "FPT-near-linear time", i.e., in time f(k)⋅ 𝒪̃(|x|), or 2) solvable in "FPT-matrix-multiplication time", i.e., in time f(k)⋅ {𝒪}(n^{ω}), where n is the number of vertices of the underlying graph, but not solvable in FPT-near-linear time, unless the Triangle Conjecture fails, or 3) #W[1]-complete and no significant improvement over the naive brute force algorithm is possible unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails. This classification reveals a significant and surprising gap in the complexity landscape of parameterised Holants: Not only is every instance either fixed-parameter tractable or #W[1]-complete, but additionally, every FPT instance is solvable in time (at most) f(k)⋅ {𝒪}(n^{ω}). We show that there are infinitely many instances of each of the types; for example, all constant signatures yield holant problems of type (1), and the problem of counting edge-colourful k-matchings modulo p is of type (p) for p ∈ {2,3}. Finally, we also establish a complete classification for a natural uncoloured version of parameterised holant problem p-UnColHolant(𝒮), which encodes as special cases the non-coloured analogues of the aforementioned examples. We show that the complexity of p-UnColHolant(𝒮) is different: Depending on 𝒮 all instances are either solvable in FPT-near-linear time, or #W[1]-complete, that is, there are no instances of type (2).

Gaze Sequences and Map Task Complexity (Short Paper)

Authors: Fabian Göbel, Peter Kiefer, Ioannis Giannopoulos, and Martin Raubal

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 114, 10th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2018)

Abstract
As maps are visual representations of spatial context to communicate geographic information, analysis of gaze behavior is promising to improve map design. In this research we investigate the impact of map task complexity and different legend types on the visual attention of a user. With an eye tracking experiment we could show that the complexity of two map tasks can be measured and compared based on AOI sequences analysis. This knowledge can help to improve map design for static maps or in the context of interactive systems, create better map interfaces, that adapt to the user's current task.
