The Role of Regularity in (Hyper-)Clique Detection and Implications for Optimizing Boolean CSPs

Authors: Nick Fischer, Marvin Künnemann, Mirza Redžić, and Julian Stieß

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

Abstract
Is detecting a k-clique in k-partite regular (hyper-)graphs as hard as in the general case? Intuition suggests yes, but proving this - especially for hypergraphs - poses notable challenges. Concretely, we consider a strong notion of regularity in h-uniform hypergraphs, where we essentially require that any subset of at most h-1 is incident to a uniform number of hyperedges. Such notions are studied intensively in the combinatorial block design literature. We show that any f(k)n^{g(k)}-time algorithm for detecting k-cliques in such graphs transfers to an f'(k)n^{g(k)}-time algorithm for the general case, establishing a fine-grained equivalence between the h-uniform hyperclique hypothesis and its natural regular analogue. Equipped with this regularization result, we then fully resolve the fine-grained complexity of optimizing Boolean constraint satisfaction problems over assignments with k non-zeros. Our characterization depends on the maximum degree d of a constraint function. Specifically, if d ≤ 1, we obtain a linear-time solvable problem, if d = 2, the time complexity is essentially equivalent to k-clique detection, and if d ≥ 3 the problem requires exhaustive-search time under the 3-uniform hyperclique hypothesis. To obtain our hardness results, the regularization result plays a crucial role, enabling a very convenient approach when applied carefully. We believe that our regularization result will find further applications in the future.

Completeness Theorems for k-SUM and Geometric Friends: Deciding Fragments of Linear Integer Arithmetic

Authors: Geri Gokaj and Marvin Künnemann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)

Abstract
In the last three decades, the k-SUM hypothesis has emerged as a satisfying explanation of long-standing time barriers for a variety of algorithmic problems. Yet to this day, the literature knows of only few proven consequences of a refutation of this hypothesis. Taking a descriptive complexity viewpoint, we ask: What is the largest logically defined class of problems captured by the k-SUM problem? To this end, we introduce a class FOP_ℤ of problems corresponding to deciding sentences in Presburger arithmetic/linear integer arithmetic over finite subsets of integers. We establish two large fragments for which the k-SUM problem is complete under fine-grained reductions: 1) The k-SUM problem is complete for deciding the sentences with k existential quantifiers. 2) The 3-SUM problem is complete for all 3-quantifier sentences of FOP_ℤ expressible using at most 3 linear inequalities. Specifically, a faster-than-n^{⌈k/2⌉ ± o(1)} algorithm for k-SUM (or faster-than-n^{2 ± o(1)} algorithm for 3-SUM, respectively) directly translate to polynomial speedups of a general algorithm for all sentences in the respective fragment. Observing a barrier for proving completeness of 3-SUM for the entire class FOP_ℤ, we turn to the question which other - seemingly more general - problems are complete for FOP_ℤ. In this direction, we establish FOP_ℤ-completeness of the problem pair of Pareto Sum Verification and Hausdorff Distance under n Translations under the L_∞/L₁ norm in ℤ^d. In particular, our results invite to investigate Pareto Sum Verification as a high-dimensional generalization of 3-SUM.

The Computational Complexity of Factored Graphs

Authors: Shreya Gupta, Boyang Huang, Russell Impagliazzo, Stanley Woo, and Christopher Ye

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)

Abstract
While graphs and abstract data structures can be large and complex, practical instances are often regular or highly structured. If the instance has sufficient structure, we might hope to compress the object into a more succinct representation. An efficient algorithm (with respect to the compressed input size) could then lead to more efficient computations than algorithms taking the explicit, uncompressed object as input. This leads to a natural question: when does knowing the input instance has a more succinct representation make computation easier? We initiate the study of the computational complexity of problems on factored graphs: graphs that are given as a formula of products and unions on smaller graphs. For any graph problem, we define a parameterized version that takes factored graphs as input, parameterized by the number of (smaller) ordinary graphs used to construct the factored graph. In this setting, we characterize the parameterized complexity of several natural graph problems, exhibiting a variety of complexities. We show that a decision version of lexicographically first maximal independent set is XP-complete, and therefore unconditionally not fixed-parameter tractable (FPT). On the other hand, we show that clique counting is FPT. Finally, we show that reachability is XNL-complete. Moreover, XNL is contained in FPT if and only if NL is contained in some fixed polynomial time.

The Fine-Grained Complexity of Multi-Dimensional Ordering Properties

Authors: Haozhe An, Mohit Gurumukhani, Russell Impagliazzo, Michael Jaber, Marvin Künnemann, and Maria Paula Parga Nina

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 214, 16th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2021)

Abstract
We define a class of problems whose input is an n-sized set of d-dimensional vectors, and where the problem is first-order definable using comparisons between coordinates. This class captures a wide variety of tasks, such as complex types of orthogonal range search, model-checking first-order properties on geometric intersection graphs, and elementary questions on multidimensional data like verifying Pareto optimality of a choice of data points. Focusing on constant dimension d, we show that any k-quantifier, d-dimensional such problem is solvable in O(n^{k-1} log^{d-1} n) time. Furthermore, this algorithm is conditionally tight up to subpolynomial factors: we show that assuming the 3-uniform hyperclique hypothesis, there is a k-quantifier, (3k-3)-dimensional problem in this class that requires time Ω(n^{k-1-o(1)}). Towards identifying a single representative problem for this class, we study the existence of complete problems for the 3-quantifier setting (since 2-quantifier problems can already be solved in near-linear time O(nlog^{d-1} n), and k-quantifier problems with k > 3 reduce to the 3-quantifier case). We define a problem Vector Concatenated Non-Domination VCND_d (Given three sets of vectors X,Y and Z of dimension d,d and 2d, respectively, is there an x ∈ X and a y ∈ Y so that their concatenation x∘y is not dominated by any z ∈ Z, where vector u is dominated by vector v if u_i ≤ v_i for each coordinate 1 ≤ i ≤ d), and determine it as the "unique" candidate to be complete for this class (under fine-grained assumptions).
