Online Packing of Orthogonal Polygons

Authors: Tim Gerlach, Benjamin Hennies, and Linda Kleist

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
While rectangular and box-shaped objects dominate the classic discourse of theoretic investigations, a fascinating frontier lies in packing more complex shapes. Given recent insights that convex polygons do not allow for constant competitive online algorithms for diverse variants under translation, we study orthogonal polygons, in particular of small complexity. For translational packings of orthogonal 6-gons, we show that the competitive ratio of any online algorithm that aims to pack the items into a minimal number of unit bins is in Ω(n/(log n)), where n denotes the number of objects. In contrast, we show that constant competitive algorithms exist when the orthogonal 6-gons are symmetric or small. For (orthogonally convex) orthogonal 8-gons, we show that the trivial n-competitive algorithm, which places each item in its own bin, is best-possible, i.e., every online algorithm has an asymptotic competitive ratio of at least n. This implies that for general orthogonal polygons, the trivial algorithm is best possible. Interestingly, for packing degenerate orthogonal polygons (with thickness 0), called skeletons, the change in complexity is even more drastic. While constant competitive algorithms for 6-skeletons exist, no online algorithm for 8-skeletons achieves a competitive ratio better than n. For other packing variants of orthogonal 6-gons under translation, our insights imply the following consequences. The asymptotic competitive ratio of any online algorithm is in Ω(n/(log n)) for strip packing, and there exist online algorithms with competitive ratios in O(1) for perimeter packing, or in O(√n) for minimizing the area of the bounding box. Moreover, the critical packing density is positive (if every object individually fits into the interior of a unit bin).

Pyramid Schemes for Eating M&Ms: Enumeration, Generation, and Gray Codes

Authors: Elizabeth Hartung, Brett Stevens, and Aaron Williams

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 366, 13th International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2026)

Abstract
Consider the following problem. You have a rainbow pyramid of M&Ms with n rows. For example, when n = 4 you may have one red, two orange, three yellow, and four green {inline.pdf}. You want to eat n of the M&Ms in such a way that the remaining M&Ms can be rearranged into a rainbow pyramid with n-1 rows. Two approaches are distinct if a different number from a particular row are eaten. In other words, we only care about the multiset of row frequencies (or colours) that are eaten and not the order in which they are eaten. One solution eats one M&M per row (e.g., 1234 → {inline.pdf}). Another eats the entire bottom row (e.g., 4444 → {inline.pdf}). How many different solutions are there? We show that the answer is 2^{n-1}. Furthermore, each solution can be naturally encoded with combinatorial objects enumerated by 2^{n-1} including binary words of length n-1, compositions of n, and subsets of [n-1]. Less obviously they are encoded by M&M permutations where each value in [n] is at most one position to the right of its position in the identity (e.g., 123, 132, 213, 312 for n = 3). What if at most m from each row can be eaten? When m = 1 the only solution is to eat one of each colour. Otherwise, the solutions are counted by Fibonacci (m = 2), Tribonacci (m = 3), Tetranacci (m = 4), and so on, up to 2^{n-1} (m = n). Furthermore, solutions can be naturally encoded by limited versions of the aforementioned objects including binary strings avoiding the substring 0^{m} and M&M permutations where values are limited by moving at most 𝓁 = m-1 positions to the left. Motivated by the works of Samuel Beckett, we consider minimal-change orders of the solutions. We obtain a satisfying result by filtering the binary reflected Gray code to words avoiding 0^{m}. For example, when n = 4 we have BRGC(n) = 000, 100, 110, 010, 011, 111, 101, 001 and the words avoiding 00 are BRGC_𝓁(3) = 110, 010, 011, 111, 101 where 𝓁 = 1 is the limit on the run-lengths of 0s. Our bijection then creates solutions that differ in by a single M&M 1244, 2244, 2234,1234, 1334. Thus, Beckett’s character Murphy can imagine every experience by changing one M&M at a time. The generalized Gray code BRGC_𝓁(n) was previously defined recursively [Bernini et. al Acta Informatica 2015] with its change sequence supporting amortized 𝒪(1)-time generation [Arndt Matters Computational 2010]. We uncover a simple greedy definition - flip the leftmost bit that creates a new binary word avoiding 0^m starting from w = ⋯ 110^{𝓁}110^{𝓁} - and a successor rule that supports loopless worst-case 𝒪(1)-time generation. Furthermore, the corresponding limited M&M permutations are greedily generated by swapping the smallest value (or the leftmost pair of adjacent values) that gives a valid new permutation (e.g., ̅{12}43, 21 ̅{43}, ̅{21}34, 1 ̅{23}4, 1324 for n = 4 and 𝓁 = 1). We also consider a relaxed version of the problem in which the initial pyramid’s n rows have respective widths r, r+1, r+2, …, n, n, …, n. Here the answer is an n-term product ⟨n,r⟩! = 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋯ r ⋅ (r+1) ⋅ (r+1) ⋯ (r+1) that we refer to as a flatorial number. Furthermore, the solutions are represented by a generalization of M&M permutations in which each symbol can appear at most r positions to the right of its position in the identity. We complete our investigation by showing that eight distinct classes of permutations are enumerated by flatorial numbers.

A Demigod’s Number for the Rubik’s Cube

Authors: Arturo Merino and Bernardo Subercaseaux

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 366, 13th International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2026)

Abstract
It is by now well-known that any state of the 3× 3 × 3 Rubik’s Cube can be solved in at most 20 moves, a result often referred to as "God’s Number". However, this result took Rokicki et al. around 35 CPU years to prove and is therefore very challenging to reproduce. We provide a novel approach to obtain a worse bound of 36 moves with high confidence, but that offers two main advantages: (i) it is easy to understand, reproduce, and verify, and (ii) our main idea generalizes to bounding the diameter of other vertex-transitive graphs by at most twice its true value, hence the name "demigod number". Our approach is based on the fact that, for vertex-transitive graphs, the diameter at most twice the average distance (of which we give a much simpler proof than in the literature). Then, by sampling uniformly random states and using a modern solver to obtain upper bounds on their distance, a standard concentration bound allows us to confidently state that the average distance is around 18.32 ± 0.18, from where the diameter is at most 36.

On the Complexity of Knapsack Under Explorable Uncertainty: Hardness and Algorithms

Authors: Jens Schlöter

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

Abstract
In the knapsack problem under explorable uncertainty, we are given a knapsack instance with uncertain item profits. Instead of having access to the precise profits, we are only given uncertainty intervals that are guaranteed to contain the corresponding profits. The actual item profit can be obtained via a query. The goal of the problem is to adaptively query item profits until the revealed information suffices to compute an optimal (or approximate) solution to the underlying knapsack instance. Since queries are costly, the objective is to minimize the number of queries. In the offline variant of this problem, we assume knowledge of the precise profits and the task is to compute a query set of minimum cardinality that a third party without access to the profits could use to identify an optimal (or approximate) knapsack solution. We show that this offline variant is complete for the second-level of the polynomial hierarchy, i.e., Σ₂^p-complete, and cannot be approximated within a non-trivial factor unless Σ₂^p = Δ₂^p. Motivated by these strong hardness results, we consider a "resource-augmented" variant of the problem where the requirements on the query set computed by an algorithm are less strict than the requirements on the optimal solution we compare against. More precisely, a query set computed by the algorithm must reveal sufficient information to identify an approximate knapsack solution, while the optimal query set we compare against has to reveal sufficient information to identify an optimal solution. We show that this resource-augmented setting allows interesting non-trivial algorithmic results.

Computing Distances on Graph Associahedra Is Fixed-Parameter Tractable

Authors: Luís Felipe I. Cunha, Ignasi Sau, Uéverton S. Souza, and Mario Valencia-Pabon

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

Abstract
An elimination tree of a connected graph G is a rooted tree on the vertices of G obtained by choosing a root v and recursing on the connected components of G-v to obtain the subtrees of v. The graph associahedron of G is a polytope whose vertices correspond to elimination trees of G and whose edges correspond to tree rotations, a natural operation between elimination trees. These objects generalize associahedra, which correspond to the case where G is a path. Ito et al. [ICALP 2023] recently proved that the problem of computing distances on graph associahedra is NP-hard. In this paper we prove that the problem, for a general graph G, is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the distance k. Prior to our work, only the case where G is a path was known to be fixed-parameter tractable. To prove our result, we use a novel approach based on a marking scheme that restricts the search to a set of vertices whose size is bounded by a (large) function of k.

The Hamilton Compression of Highly Symmetric Graphs

Authors: Petr Gregor, Arturo Merino, and Torsten Mütze

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 241, 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2022)

Abstract
We say that a Hamilton cycle C = (x₁,…,x_n) in a graph G is k-symmetric, if the mapping x_i ↦ x_{i+n/k} for all i = 1,…,n, where indices are considered modulo n, is an automorphism of G. In other words, if we lay out the vertices x₁,…,x_n equidistantly on a circle and draw the edges of G as straight lines, then the drawing of G has k-fold rotational symmetry, i.e., all information about the graph is compressed into a 360^∘/k wedge of the drawing. We refer to the maximum k for which there exists a k-symmetric Hamilton cycle in G as the Hamilton compression of G. We investigate the Hamilton compression of four different families of vertex-transitive graphs, namely hypercubes, Johnson graphs, permutahedra and Cayley graphs of abelian groups. In several cases we determine their Hamilton compression exactly, and in other cases we provide close lower and upper bounds. The cycles we construct have a much higher compression than several classical Gray codes known from the literature. Our constructions also yield Gray codes for bitstrings, combinations and permutations that have few tracks and/or that are balanced.

Star Transposition Gray Codes for Multiset Permutations

Authors: Petr Gregor, Torsten Mütze, and Arturo Merino

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)

Abstract
Given integers k ≥ 2 and a_1,…,a_k ≥ 1, let a: = (a_1,…,a_k) and n: = a_1+⋯+a_k. An a-multiset permutation is a string of length n that contains exactly a_i symbols i for each i = 1,…,k. In this work we consider the problem of exhaustively generating all a-multiset permutations by star transpositions, i.e., in each step, the first entry of the string is transposed with any other entry distinct from the first one. This is a far-ranging generalization of several known results. For example, it is known that permutations (a_1 = ⋯ = a_k = 1) can be generated by star transpositions, while combinations (k = 2) can be generated by these operations if and only if they are balanced (a_1 = a_2), with the positive case following from the middle levels theorem. To understand the problem in general, we introduce a parameter Δ(a): = n-2max{a_1,…,a_k} that allows us to distinguish three different regimes for this problem. We show that if Δ(a) < 0, then a star transposition Gray code for a-multiset permutations does not exist. We also construct such Gray codes for the case Δ(a) > 0, assuming that they exist for the case Δ(a) = 0. For the case Δ(a) = 0 we present some partial positive results. Our proofs establish Hamilton-connectedness or Hamilton-laceability of the underlying flip graphs, and they answer several cases of a recent conjecture of Shen and Williams. In particular, we prove that the middle levels graph is Hamilton-laceable.

The Minimum Cost Query Problem on Matroids with Uncertainty Areas

Authors: Arturo I. Merino and José A. Soto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
We study the minimum weight basis problem on matroid when elements' weights are uncertain. For each element we only know a set of possible values (an uncertainty area) that contains its real weight. In some cases there exist bases that are uniformly optimal, that is, they are minimum weight bases for every possible weight function obeying the uncertainty areas. In other cases, computing such a basis is not possible unless we perform some queries for the exact value of some elements. Our main result is a polynomial time algorithm for the following problem. Given a matroid with uncertainty areas and a query cost function on its elements, find the set of elements of minimum total cost that we need to simultaneously query such that, no matter their revelation, the resulting instance admits a uniformly optimal base. We also provide combinatorial characterizations of all uniformly optimal bases, when one exists; and of all sets of queries that can be performed so that after revealing the corresponding weights the resulting instance admits a uniformly optimal base.
