The Biequivalence of Path Categories and Axiomatic Martin-Löf Type Theories

Authors: Daniël Otten and Matteo Spadetto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
The semantics of extensional type theory has an elegant categorical description: models of extensional =-types, 𝟙-types, and Σ-types are biequivalent to finitely complete categories, while adding Π-types yields locally Cartesian closed categories. We establish parallel results for axiomatic type theory, which includes systems like cubical type theory, where the computation rule of the =-types only holds as a propositional axiom instead of a definitional reduction. In particular, we prove that models of axiomatic =-types, and standard 𝟙- and Σ-types are biequivalent to certain path categories, while adding axiomatic Π-types yields dependent homotopy exponents. This biequivalence simplifies axiomatic =-types, which are more intricate than extensional ones since they permit higher dimensional structure. Specifically, path categories use a primitive notion of equivalence instead of a direct reproduction of the syntactic elimination rules and computation axioms. We apply our correspondence to prove a coherence theorem: we show that these weak homotopical models can be turned into equivalent strict models of axiomatic type theory. In addition, we introduce a more modular notion, that of a display map path category, which only models axiomatic =-types by default, while leaving room to add other axiomatic type formers such as 𝟙-, Σ-, and Π-types.

Timeline Problems in Temporal Graphs: Vertex Cover vs. Dominating Set

Authors: Anton Herrmann, Christian Komusiewicz, Nils Morawietz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
A temporal graph is a finite sequence of graphs, called snapshots, over the same vertex set. Many temporal graph problems turn out to be much more difficult than their static counterparts. One such problem is Timeline Vertex Cover (also known as MinTimeline_∞), a temporal analogue to the classical Vertex Cover problem. In this problem, one is given a temporal graph 𝒢 and two integers k and 𝓁, and the goal is to cover each edge of each snapshot by selecting for each vertex at most k activity intervals of length at most 𝓁 each. Here, an edge uv in the ith snapshot is covered, if an activity interval of u or v is active at time i. In this work, we continue the algorithmic study of Timeline Vertex Cover and introduce the Timeline Dominating Set problem where we want to dominate all vertices in each snapshot by the selected activity intervals. We analyze both problems from a classical and parameterized point of view and also consider partial problem versions, where the goal is to cover (dominate) at least t edges (vertices) of the snapshots. With respect to the parameterized complexity, we consider the temporal graph parameters vertex-interval-membership-width (vimw) and interval-membership-width (imw). We show that all considered problems admit FPT-algorithms when parameterized by vimw+k+𝓁. This provides a smaller parameter combination than the ones used for previously known FPT-algorithms for Timeline Vertex Cover. Surprisingly, for imw+k+𝓁, Timeline Dominating Set turns out to be easier than Timeline Vertex Cover, by also admitting an FPT-algorithm, whereas the vertex cover version is NP-hard even if imw+k+𝓁 is constant. We also consider parameterization by combinations of n, the vertex set size, with k or 𝓁 and parameterization by t. Here, we show for example that both partial problems are fixed-parameter tractable for t which significantly improves and generalizes a previous result for a special case of Partial Timeline Vertex Cover with k = 1.

Hardness of Computation of Quantum Invariants on 3-Manifolds with Restricted Topology

Authors: Henrique Ennes and Clément Maria

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

Abstract
Quantum invariants in low-dimensional topology offer a wide variety of valuable invariants about knots and 3-manifolds, presented by explicit formulas that are readily computable. Their computational complexity has been actively studied and is tightly connected to topological quantum computing. In this article, we prove that for any 3-manifold quantum invariant in the Reshetikhin-Turaev model, there is a deterministic polynomial time algorithm that, given as input an arbitrary closed 3-manifold M, outputs a closed 3-manifold M' with the same quantum invariant, such that M' is hyperbolic, contains no low genus embedded incompressible surface, and is presented by a strongly irreducible Heegaard diagram. Our construction relies on properties of Heegaard splittings and the Hempel distance. At the level of computational complexity, this proves that the hardness of computing a given quantum invariant of 3-manifolds is preserved even when severely restricting the topology and the combinatorics of the input. This positively answers a question raised by Samperton [Samperton, 2023].

Edge Clique Partition and Cover Beyond Independence

Authors: Fedor V. Fomin, Petr A. Golovach, Danil Sagunov, and Kirill Simonov

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

Abstract
Covering and partitioning the edges of a graph into cliques are classical problems at the intersection of combinatorial optimization and graph theory, having been studied through a range of algorithmic and complexity-theoretic lenses. Despite the well-known fixed-parameter tractability of these problems when parameterized by the total number of cliques, such a parameterization often fails to be meaningful for sparse graphs. In many real-world instances, on the other hand, the minimum number of cliques in an edge cover or partition can be very close to the size of a maximum independent set α(G). Motivated by this observation, we investigate above-α parameterizations of the edge clique cover and partition problems. Concretely, we introduce and study Edge Clique Cover Above Independent Set (ECC/α) and Edge Clique Partition Above Independent Set (ECP/α), where the goal is to cover or partition all edges of a graph using at most α(G) + k cliques, and k is the parameter. Our main results reveal a distinct complexity landscape for the two variants. We show that ECP/α is fixed-parameter tractable, whereas ECC/α is NP-complete for all k ≥ 2, yet can be solved in polynomial time for k ∈ {0,1}. These findings highlight intriguing differences between the two problems when viewed through the lens of parameterization above a natural lower bound. Finally, we demonstrate that ECC/α becomes fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k + ω(G), where ω(G) is the size of a maximum clique of the graph G. This result is particularly relevant for sparse graphs, in which ω is typically small. For H-minor free graphs, we design a subexponential algorithm of running time f(H)^√k ⋅ n^𝒪(1).

Enumerating Minimal Dominating Sets and Variants in Chordal Bipartite Graphs

Authors: Emanuel Castelo, Oscar Defrain, and Guilherme C. M. Gomes

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
Enumerating minimal dominating sets with polynomial delay in bipartite graphs is a long-standing open problem. To date, even the subcase of chordal bipartite graphs is open, with the best known algorithm due to Golovach, Heggernes, Kanté, Kratsch, Sæther, and Villanger running in incremental-polynomial time. We improve on this result by providing a polynomial delay and space algorithm enumerating minimal dominating sets in chordal bipartite graphs. Additionally, we show that the total and connected variants admit polynomial and incremental-polynomial delay algorithms, respectively, within the same class. This provides an alternative proof of a result by Golovach et al. for total dominating sets, and answers an open question for the connected variant. Finally, we give evidence that the techniques used in this paper cannot be generalized to bipartite graphs for (total) minimal dominating sets, unless P = NP, and show that enumerating minimal connected dominating sets in bipartite graphs is harder than enumerating minimal transversals in general hypergraphs.

Conditional Lower Bounds for String Matching in Labelled Graphs

Authors: Massimo Equi

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 132, From Strings to Graphs, and Back Again: A Festschrift for Roberto Grossi's 60th Birthday (2025)

Abstract
The problem of String Matching in Labelled Graphs (SMLG) is one possible generalization of the classic problem of finding a string inside another of greater length. In its most general form, SMLG asks to find a match for a string into a graph, which can be directed or undirected. As for string matching, many different variations are possible. For example, the match could be exact or approximate, and the match could lie on a path or a walk. Some of these variations easily fall into the NP-hard realm, while other variants are solvable in polynomial time. For the latter ones, fine-grained complexity has been a game changer in proving quadratic conditional lower bounds, allowing to finally close the gap with those upper bounds that remained unmatched for almost two decades. If the match is allowed to be approximate, SMLG enjoys the same conditional quadratic lower bounds shown for example for edit distance (Backurs and Indyk, STOC '15). The case that really requires ad hoc conditional lower bounds is the one of finding an exact match that lies on a walk. In this work, we focus on explaining various conditional lower bounds for this version of SMLG, with the goal of giving an overall perspective that could help understand which aspects of the problem make it quadratic. We will introduce the reader to the field of fine-grained complexity and show how it can successfully provide the exact type of lower bounds needed for polynomial problems such as SMLG.

Subsequence-Based Indices for Genome Sequence Analysis

Authors: Giovanni Buzzega, Alessio Conte, Veronica Guerrini, Giulia Punzi, Giovanna Rosone, and Lorenzo Tattini

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 132, From Strings to Graphs, and Back Again: A Festschrift for Roberto Grossi's 60th Birthday (2025)

Abstract
Compact indices are a fundamental tool in string analysis, even more so in bioinformatics, where genomic sequences can reach billions in length. This paper presents some recent results in which Roberto Grossi has been involved, showing how some of these indices do more than just efficiently represent data, but rather are able to bring out salient information within it, which can be exploited for their downstream analysis. Specifically, we first review a recently-introduced method [Guerrini et al., 2023] that employs the Burrows-Wheeler Transform to build reasonably accurate phylogenetic trees in an assembly-free scenario. We then describe a recent practical tool [Buzzega et al., 2025] for indexing Maximal Common Subsequences between strings, which can enable analysis of genomic sequence similarity. Experimentally, we show that the results produced by the one index are consistent with the expectations about the results of the other index.

Faster Range LCP Queries in Linear Space

Authors: Yakov Nekirch and Sharma V. Thankachan

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 132, From Strings to Graphs, and Back Again: A Festschrift for Roberto Grossi's 60th Birthday (2025)

Abstract
A range LCP query rlcp(α,β) on a text T[1 .. n] asks to return the length of the longest common prefix of any two suffixes of T with starting positions in a range [α,β]. In this paper we describe a data structure that uses O(n) space and supports range LCP queries in time O(log^ε n) for any constant ε > 0. Our result is the fastest currently known linear-space solution for this problem.

CluStRE: Streaming Graph Clustering with Multi-Stage Refinement

Authors: Adil Chhabra, Shai Dorian Peretz, and Christian Schulz

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

Abstract
We present CluStRE, a novel streaming graph clustering algorithm that balances computational efficiency with high-quality clustering using multi-stage refinement. Unlike traditional in-memory clustering approaches, CluStRE processes graphs in a streaming setting, significantly reducing memory overhead while leveraging re-streaming and evolutionary heuristics to improve solution quality. Our method dynamically constructs a quotient graph, enabling modularity-based optimization while efficiently handling large-scale graphs. We introduce multiple configurations of CluStRE to provide trade-offs between speed, memory consumption, and clustering quality. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that CluStRE improves solution quality by 89.8%, operates 2.6× faster, and uses less than two-thirds of the memory required by the state-of-the-art streaming clustering algorithm on average. Moreover, our strongest mode enhances solution quality by up to 150% on average. With this, CluStRE achieves comparable solution quality to in-memory algorithms, i.e. over 96% of the quality of clustering approaches, including Louvain, effectively bridging the gap between streaming and traditional clustering methods.

Solving Guarded Domain Equations in Presheaves over Ordinals and Mechanizing It

Authors: Sergei Stepanenko and Amin Timany

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
Constructing solutions to recursive domain equations is a well-known, important problem in the study of programs and programming languages. Mathematically speaking, the problem is finding a fixed point (up to isomorphism) of a suitable functor over a suitable category. A particularly useful instance, inspired by the step-indexing technique, is where the functor is over (a subcategory of) the category of presheaves over the ordinal ω and the functors are locally-contractive, also known as guarded functors. This corresponds to step-indexing over natural numbers. However, for certain problems, e.g., when dealing with infinite non-determinism, one needs to employ trans-finite step-indexing, i.e., consider presheaf categories over higher ordinals. Prior work on trans-finite step-indexing either only considers a very narrow class of functors over a particularly restricted subcategory of presheaves over higher ordinals, or treats the problem very generally working with sheaves over an arbitrary complete Heyting algebra with a well-founded basis. In this paper we present a solution to the guarded domain equations problem over all guarded functors over the category of presheaves over ordinal numbers, as well as its mechanization in the Rocq Prover. As the categories of sheaves and presheaves over ordinals are equivalent, our main contribution is simplifying prior work from the setting of the category of sheaves to the setting of the category of presheaves and mechanizing it - presheaves are more amenable to mechanization in a proof assistant.

Spanner Enumeration for Temporal Graphs

Authors: Kazuhiro Kurita, Andrea Marino, Jason Schoeters, and Takeaki Uno

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 330, 4th Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2025)

Abstract
A spanner of a temporal graph is a subset of edges that preserves connectivity over time between vertices. A minimal spanner is one in which no additional edges can be removed without breaking this connectivity. Our focus is on enumerating minimal spanners for a given temporal graph. We explore several variations of this problem based on the type of connectivity that must be maintained, ranging from one-to-all connectivity to one-to-all-to-one, many-to-all, and finally all-to-all connectivity. We establish that these problems become progressively harder: (i) We present a polynomial-delay enumeration algorithm for one-to-all connectivity; (ii) We prove Dual-hardness for both one-to-all-to-one and many-to-all connectivity, even in the restricted case of two-to-all; (iii) Finally, for all-to-all connectivity, we show that enumeration cannot be performed in output-polynomial time unless P = NP.

Matching and Edge Cover in Temporal Graphs

Authors: Lapo Cioni, Riccardo Dondi, Andrea Marino, Jason Schoeters, and Ana Silva

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 330, 4th Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2025)

Abstract
Temporal graphs are a special class of graphs for which a temporal component is added to edges, that is, each edge possesses a set of times at which it is available and can be traversed. Many classical problems on graphs can be translated to temporal graphs, and the results may differ. In this paper, we define the {Temporal Edge Cover} and {Temporal Matching} problems and show that they are NP-complete even when fixing the lifetime or when the underlying graph is a tree. We then describe two FPT algorithms, with parameters lifetime and treewidth, that solve the two problems. We also find lower bounds for the approximation of the two problems and give two approximation algorithms which match these bounds. Finally, we discuss the differences between the problems in the temporal and the static framework.

Computational Complexity of the Weisfeiler-Leman Dimension

Authors: Moritz Lichter, Simon Raßmann, and Pascal Schweitzer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
The Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of a graph G is the least number k such that the k-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm distinguishes G from every other non-isomorphic graph, or equivalently, the least k such that G is definable in (k+1)-variable first-order logic with counting. The dimension is a standard measure of the descriptive or structural complexity of a graph and recently finds various applications in particular in the context of machine learning. This paper studies the complexity of computing the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension. We observe that deciding whether the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of G is at most k is NP-hard, even if G is restricted to have 4-bounded color classes. For each fixed k ≥ 2, we give a polynomial-time algorithm that decides whether the Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of a given graph with 5-bounded color classes is at most k. Moreover, we show that for these bounds on the color classes, this is optimal because the problem is PTIME-hard under logspace-uniform AC_0-reductions. Furthermore, for each larger bound c on the color classes and each fixed k ≥ 2, we provide a polynomial-time decision algorithm for the abelian case, that is, for structures of which each color class has an abelian automorphism group. While the graph classes we consider may seem quite restrictive, graphs with 4-bounded abelian colors include CFI-graphs and multipedes, which form the basis of almost all known hard instances and lower bounds related to the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm.

Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs: Existing Gaps and Future Research Challenges

Authors: Claudia d'Amato, Louis Mahon, Pierre Monnin, and Giorgos Stamou

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
The graph model is nowadays largely adopted to model a wide range of knowledge and data, spanning from social networks to knowledge graphs (KGs), representing a successful paradigm of how symbolic and transparent AI can scale on the World Wide Web. However, due to their unprecedented volume, they are generally tackled by Machine Learning (ML) and mostly numeric based methods such as graph embedding models (KGE) and deep neural networks (DNNs). The latter methods have been proved lately very efficient, leading the current AI spring. In this vision paper, we introduce some of the main existing methods for combining KGs and ML, divided into two categories: those using ML to improve KGs, and those using KGs to improve results on ML tasks. From this introduction, we highlight research gaps and perspectives that we deem promising and currently under-explored for the involved research communities, spanning from KG support for LLM prompting, integration of KG semantics in ML models to symbol-based methods, interpretability of ML models, and the need for improved benchmark datasets. In our opinion, such perspectives are stepping stones in an ultimate view of KGs as central assets for neuro-symbolic and explainable AI.

Enumeration of s-d Separators in DAGs with Application to Reliability Analysis in Temporal Graphs

Authors: Alessio Conte, Pierluigi Crescenzi, Andrea Marino, and Giulia Punzi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 170, 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2020)

Abstract
Temporal graphs are graphs in which arcs have temporal labels, specifying at which time they can be traversed. Motivated by recent results concerning the reliability analysis of a temporal graph through the enumeration of minimal cutsets in the corresponding line graph, in this paper we attack the problem of enumerating minimal s-d separators in s-d directed acyclic graphs (in short, s-d DAGs), also known as 2-terminal DAGs or s-t digraphs. Our main result is an algorithm for enumerating all the minimal s-d separators in a DAG with O(nm) delay, where n and m are respectively the number of nodes and arcs, and the delay is the time between the output of two consecutive solutions. To this aim, we give a characterization of the minimal s-d separators in a DAG through vertex cuts of an expanded version of the DAG itself. As a consequence of our main result, we provide an algorithm for enumerating all the minimal s-d cutsets in a temporal graph with delay O(m³), where m is the number of temporal arcs.
