Improved Approximation for Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion and Parameterized Complexity of Its Variants

Authors: Satyabrata Jana, Soumen Mandal, Ashutosh Rai, and Saket Saurabh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
The pathwidth of a graph is a measure of how path-like the graph is. The Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (POVD) problem asks whether, given an undirected graph G and an integer k, one can delete at most k vertices from G so that the remaining graph has pathwidth at most one. This is a natural variation of the classical Feedback vertex Set (FVS) problem, where the deletion of at most k vertices results in a graph of treewidth at most one. In this work, we investigate POVD in the realm of approximation algorithms. We first design a 3-approximation algorithm for POVD running in polynomial time. Then, using this constant factor approximation algorithm, we obtain a randomized parameterized approximation algorithm for POVD running in time 𝒪^*((h_β)^k), that improves the fastest existing running times for approximation ratios in the range (1.76147,3). Here the constant h_β depends on the approximation factor β alone and has value 2^{(3-β)}, which lies in the range (1,2.3596), when β ∈ (1.76147,3). Taking inspiration from two extensively studied problems, namely Connected FVS and Independent FVS, we investigate two variations of the POVD problem from the perspective of parameterized algorithms. These variations are the connected variant, called Connected pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (CPOVD) and the independent variant, called Independent Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (IPOVD). While in CPOVD the subgraph G[S] induced by the vertices to be deleted needs to be connected, in IPOVD it needs to be independent. Specifically, we show the following results. - CPOVD can be solved in {𝒪}^*(14^k) time and admits no polynomial kernel unless NP ⊆ {co-NP/poly}. - IPOVD can be solved in {𝒪}^*(7^k) time, and admits a kernel of size 𝒪(k³).

PIPQ: Strict Insert-Optimized Concurrent Priority Queue

Authors: Olivia Grimes, Ahmed Hassan, Panagiota Fatourou, and Roberto Palmieri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 356, 39th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2025)

Abstract
This paper presents PIPQ, a strict and linearizable concurrent priority queue whose design differs from existing solutions in literature because it focuses on enabling parallelism of insert operations as opposed to accelerating delete-min operations, as traditionally done. In a nutshell, PIPQ’s structure includes two levels: the worker level and the leader level. The worker level provides per-thread data structures enabling fast and parallel insertions. The leader level contains the highest priority elements in the priority queue and can thus serve delete-min operations. Our evaluation, which includes an exploration of different data access patterns, operation mixes, runtime settings, and an integration into a graph-based application, shows that PIPQ outperforms competitors in a variety of cases, especially with insert-dominant workloads.

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.

Scalable Counting of Minimal Trap Spaces and Fixed Points in Boolean Networks

Authors: Mohimenul Kabir, Van-Giang Trinh, Samuel Pastva, and Kuldeep S Meel

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

Abstract
Boolean Networks (BNs) serve as a fundamental modeling framework for capturing complex dynamical systems across various domains, including systems biology, computational logic, and artificial intelligence. A crucial property of BNs is the presence of trap spaces - subspaces of the state space that, once entered, cannot be exited. Minimal trap spaces, in particular, play a significant role in analyzing the long-term behavior of BNs, making their efficient enumeration and counting essential. The fixed points in BNs are a special case of minimal trap spaces. In this work, we formulate several meaningful counting problems related to minimal trap spaces and fixed points in BNs. These problems provide valuable insights both within BN theory (e.g., in probabilistic reasoning and dynamical analysis) and in broader application areas, including systems biology, abstract argumentation, and logic programming. To address these computational challenges, we propose novel methods based on approximate answer set counting, leveraging techniques from answer set programming. Our approach efficiently approximates the number of minimal trap spaces and the number of fixed points without requiring exhaustive enumeration, making it particularly well-suited for large-scale BNs. Our experimental evaluation on an extensive and diverse set of benchmark instances shows that our methods significantly improve the feasibility of counting minimal trap spaces and fixed points, paving the way for new applications in BN analysis and beyond.

A Multi-UAV Router and Scheduler for Executing Spatially Scattered Real-Time Tasks

Authors: Sreyashi Mukherjee, Sachin Yadav, Yedla Anil Kumar, and Arnab Sarkar

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

Abstract
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) operating in remote or field scenarios often face limited local processing capacity, necessitating complex real-time monitoring and control via remote processing through mobile edge networks, satellite systems, or UAVs. With recent advancements, UAVs are increasingly being favored for such applications, particularly in isolated areas beyond edge or satellite network coverage. This paper presents a unified UAV scheduling and routing framework for executing geographically distributed real-time CPS tasks under both periodic and aperiodic arrival models. We address the challenge of minimizing the number of UAVs required while ensuring strict adherence to task deadlines across diverse temporal and spatial settings. At first, we propose an efficient heuristic strategy called UAV Scheduling and Routing Algorithm for Real-time Tasks - Periodic Arrivals (USRART-P), which decomposes applications into task instances and sequentially creates per-UAV routes and schedules within a hyperperiod, maximizing the number of task instances each UAV can cover while meeting deadlines. Adapting to this framework, we develop two additional variants to handle aperiodic CPS tasks: USRART-SA for Synchronous Aperiodic Arrivals (common arrival time, distinct deadlines) and USRART-AA for Asynchronous Aperiodic Arrivals (distinct but known arrival times and deadlines). For the case of periodic tasks, we frame the problem as a constraint optimization formulation which aims to minimize the number of UAVs that are required to generate static hyperperiodic travel routes with task execution schedules for all UAVs, and discuss how the formulation can be adapted for aperiodic tasks. Solution to this formulation using standard off-the-shelf solvers achieves optimality but incurs high computational overheads. Through extensive simulations, we show that USRART exhibits high performance across diverse operational scenarios, varying task distributions, execution demands, and spatial layouts. The results emphasize USRART’s flexibility and effectiveness in real-world UAV-based CPS scenarios, especially in environments with limited resources and infrastructure.

Fog Network Task Scheduling for IoT Applications

Authors: Chongchong Zhang, Fei Shen, Jiong Jin, and Yang Yang

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 80, 2nd Workshop on Fog Computing and the IoT (Fog-IoT 2020)

Abstract
In the Internet of Things (IoT) networks, the data traffic would be very bursty and unpredictable. It is therefore very difficult to analyze and guarantee the delay performance for delay-sensitive IoT applications in fog networks, such as emergency monitoring, intelligent manufacturing, and autonomous driving. To address this challenging problem, a Bursty Elastic Task Scheduling (BETS) algorithm is developed to best accommodate bursty task arrivals and various requirements in IoT networks, thus optimizing service experience for delay-sensitive applications with only limited communication resources in time-varying and competing environments. To better describe the stability and consistence of Quality of Service (QoS) in realistic scenarios, a new performance metric "Bursty Service Experience Index (BSEI)" is defined and quantified as delay jitter normalized by the average delay. Finally, the numeral results shows that the performance of BETS is fully evaluated, which can achieve 5-10 times lower BSEI than traditional task scheduling algorithms, e.g. Proportional Fair (PF) and the Max Carrier-to-Interference ratio (MCI), under bursty traffic conditions. These results demonstrate that BETS can effectively smooth down the bursty characteristics in IoT networks, and provide much predictable and acceptable QoS for delay-sensitive applications.

Realizing Video Analytic Service in the Fog-Based Infrastructure-Less Environments

Authors: Qiushi Zheng, Jiong Jin, Tiehua Zhang, Longxiang Gao, and Yong Xiang

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 80, 2nd Workshop on Fog Computing and the IoT (Fog-IoT 2020)

Abstract
Deep learning has unleashed the great potential in many fields and now is the most significant facilitator for video analytics owing to its capability to providing more intelligent services in a complex scenario. Meanwhile, the emergence of fog computing has brought unprecedented opportunities to provision intelligence services in infrastructure-less environments like remote national parks and rural farms. However, most of the deep learning algorithms are computationally intensive and impossible to be executed in such environments due to the needed supports from the cloud. In this paper, we develop a video analytic framework, which is tailored particularly for the fog devices to realize video analytic service in a rapid manner. Also, the convolution neural networks are used as the core processing unit in the framework to facilitate the image analysing process.
