Bichromatic Classifications of Points Using Strips

Authors: Jaegun Lee, Chaeyoon Chung, and Hee-Kap Ahn

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
Given a set of n points in the plane, each colored either blue or red, we study the problem of finding a strip that separates the blue points from the red points. Specifically, we consider the following two variants: (1) locating a strip that contains no red points while maximizing the number of blue points within the strip, and (2) locating a strip that contains all blue points while minimizing the number of red points within the strip. For variant (1), we present an O(n²)-time algorithm, improving upon the previously best O(n²log n)-time result. We also show that this running time is optimal under the standard 3SUM conjecture. We also give an output-sensitive algorithm with running time O(k_{opt} n log n) that returns a strip, where k_{opt} is the number of blue points not contained within the strip in an optimal solution. We extend our results to the case of up to t parallel strips, obtaining an O(n²log n)-time algorithm. For variant (2), an optimal Θ(nlog n)-time algorithm is known for t = 1. We show 3SUM-hardness for t = 2 and give an O(n²)-time algorithm. For any t ≥ 3, we present an O(n²log n)-time algorithm.

Canonical for Automated Theorem Proving in Lean

Authors: Chase Norman and Jeremy Avigad

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

Abstract
Canonical is a solver for type inhabitation in dependent type theory, that is, the problem of producing a term of a given type. We present a Lean tactic which invokes Canonical to generate proof terms and synthesize programs. The tactic supports higher-order and dependently-typed goals, structural recursion over indexed inductive types, and definitional equality. Canonical finds proofs for 84% of Natural Number Game problems in 51 seconds total.

Practically Feasible Proof Logging for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization

Authors: Wietze Koops, Daniel Le Berre, Magnus O. Myreen, Jakob Nordström, Andy Oertel, Yong Kiam Tan, and Marc Vinyals

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

Abstract
Certifying solvers have long been standard for decision problems in Boolean satisfiability (SAT), allowing for proof logging and checking with very limited overhead, but developing similar tools for combinatorial optimization has remained a challenge. A recent promising approach covering a wide range of solving paradigms is pseudo-Boolean proof logging, but this has mostly consisted of proof-of-concept works far from delivering the performance required for real-world deployment. In this work, we present an efficient toolchain based on VeriPB and CakePB for formally verified pseudo-Boolean optimization. We implement proof logging for the full range of techniques in the state-of-the-art solvers RoundingSat and Sat4j, including core-guided search and linear programming integration with Farkas certificates and cut generation. Our experimental evaluation shows that proof logging and checking performance in this much more expressive paradigm is now quite close to the level of SAT solving, and hence is clearly practically feasible.

SimdMinimizers: Computing Random Minimizers, fast

Authors: Ragnar Groot Koerkamp and Igor Martayan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 338, 23rd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2025)

Abstract
Motivation. Because of the rapidly-growing amount of sequencing data, computing sketches of large textual datasets has become an essential preprocessing task. These sketches are typically much smaller than the input sequences, but preserve sufficient information for downstream analysis. Minimizers are an especially popular sketching technique and used in a wide variety of applications. They sample at least one out of every w consecutive k-mers. As DNA sequencers are getting more accurate, some applications can afford to use a larger w and hence sparser and smaller sketches. And as sketches get smaller, their analysis becomes faster, so the time spent sketching the full-sized input becomes more of a bottleneck. Methods. Our library simd-minimizers implements a random minimizer algorithm using SIMD instructions. It supports both AVX2 and NEON architectures. Its main novelty is two-fold. First, it splits the input into 8 chunks that are streamed over in parallel through all steps of the algorithm. This is enabled by using the completely deterministic two-stacks sliding window minimum algorithm, which seems not to have been used before for finding minimizers. Results. Our library is up to 6.8× faster than a scalar implementation of the rescan method when w = 5 is small, and 3.4× faster for larger w = 19. Computing canonical minimizers is less than 50% slower than computing forward minimizers, and over 15× faster than the existing implementation in the minimizer-iter crate. Our library finds all (canonical) minimizers of a 3.2 Gbp human genome in 5.2 (resp. 6.7) seconds.

Toward Semantic Foundations for Program Editors

Authors: Cyrus Omar, Ian Voysey, Michael Hilton, Joshua Sunshine, Claire Le Goues, Jonathan Aldrich, and Matthew A. Hammer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 71, 2nd Summit on Advances in Programming Languages (SNAPL 2017)

Abstract
Programming language definitions assign formal meaning to complete programs. Programmers, however, spend a substantial amount of time interacting with incomplete programs - programs with holes, type inconsistencies and binding inconsistencies - using tools like program editors and live programming environments (which interleave editing and evaluation). Semanticists have done comparatively little to formally characterize (1) the static and dynamic semantics of incomplete programs; (2) the actions available to programmers as they edit and inspect incomplete programs; and (3) the behavior of editor services that suggest likely edit actions to the programmer based on semantic information extracted from the incomplete program being edited, and from programs that the system has encountered in the past. This paper serves as a vision statement for a research program that seeks to develop these "missing" semantic foundations. Our hope is that these contributions, which will take the form of a series of simple formal calculi equipped with a tractable metatheory, will guide the design of a variety of current and future interactive programming tools, much as various lambda calculi have guided modern language designs. Our own research will apply these principles in the design of Hazel, an experimental live lab notebook programming environment designed for data science tasks. We plan to co-design the Hazel language with the editor so that we can explore concepts such as edit-time semantic conflict resolution mechanisms and mechanisms that allow library providers to install library-specific editor services.

Programming Language Techniques for Incremental and Reactive Computing (Dagstuhl Seminar 16402)

Authors: Camil Demetrescu, Sebastian Erdweg, Matthew A. Hammer, and Shriram Krishnamurthi

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 6, Issue 10 (2017)

Abstract
Incremental computations are those that process input changes faster than naive computation that runs from scratch, and reactive computations consist of interactive behavior that varies over time. Due to the importance and prevalence of incremental, reactive systems, ad hoc variants of incremental and reactive computation are ubiquitous in modern software systems. In response to this reality, the PL research community has worked for several decades to advance new languages for systems that interface with a dynamically-changing environment. In this space, researchers propose new general-purpose languages and algorithms to express and implement efficient, dynamic behavior, in the form of incremental and reactive language systems. While these research lines continue to develop successfully, this work lacks a shared community that synthesizes a collective discussion about common motivations, alternative techniques, current results and future challenges. To overcome this lack of community, this seminar will work towards building one, by strengthening existing research connections and by forging new ones. Developing a shared culture is critical to the future advancement of incremental and reactive computing in modern PL research, and in turn, this PL research is critical to developing the efficient, understandable interactive systems of the future.
