Splitting Sandwiches Unevenly via Unique Sink Orientations and Rainbow Arrangements

Authors: Michaela Borzechowski, Sebastian Haslebacher, Hung P. Hoang, Patrick Schnider, and Simon Weber

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

Abstract
The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any d point sets in ℝ^d can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The α-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e., hyperplanes that do not cut off half but some prescribed fraction of each point set. We give two new proofs for this theorem. The first proof is completely combinatorial and highlights a strong connection between the α-Ham-Sandwich theorem and Unique Sink Orientations of grids. The second proof uses point-hyperplane duality and the Poincaré-Miranda theorem and allows us to generalize the result to and beyond oriented matroids. For this we introduce a new concept of rainbow arrangements, generalizing colored pseudo-hyperplane arrangements. Along the way, we also show that the realizability problem for rainbow arrangements is ∃ℝ-complete, which also implies that the realizability problem for grid Unique Sink Orientations is ∃ℝ-complete.

Mapping Chemical Space: Topological Data Analysis of Chemical Latent Space with Mapper

Authors: Dhruv Meduri, Chuan-Shen Hu, Cong Shen, Kelin Xia, and Bei Wang

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

Abstract
The vast chemical space, encompassing virtually innumerable molecules and materials, presents both immense opportunities and significant challenges. The design and discovery of novel drugs and functional materials may be viewed as a search within this space; however, the sheer scale of potential candidates renders exhaustive exploration infeasible. To address this, we introduce Chemical Mapper, a framework that integrates topological data analysis with deep learning to enable the visual exploration and analysis of chemical latent spaces. At its core, Chemical Mapper employs mapper, a widely used tool in topological data analysis, to investigate the organizational principles of chemical latent spaces defined by molecular representations learned by geometric deep learning models. In doing so, Chemical Mapper not only highlights groups of molecular representations but also uncovers the relationships among them through linkages and branching structures. Our results show that Chemical Mapper reveals intrinsic patterns associated with molecular scaffolds, functional groups, and chemical properties, as well as the structural and functional evolutions of the molecules.

Native Provenance Computation for Federated and Non-Federated SPARQL Queries

Authors: Zubaria Asma, Daniel Hernández, Luis Galárraga, Giorgos Flouris, Irini Fundulaki, and Katja Hose

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1

Abstract
The popularity of knowledge graphs (KGs) owes credit to their flexible data model, which is suitable for data integration from multiple sources. Several KG-based applications, such as trust assessment, view maintenance, or data valuation on dynamic data, rely on the ability to compute provenance explanations for query results. This need becomes more urgent in federated query processing systems, which allow the online consumption of heterogeneous and decentralized Web data. However, the problem of computing and interacting with provenance has received little attention, especially in the federated setting. On those grounds, this paper introduces the NPCS (Native Provenance Computation for SPARQL) approach, and its federated variant Fed-NPCS, that compute provenance for SPARQL query results. Both approaches build upon spm-semirings to annotate the results of monotonic and non-monotonic SPARQL queries with their provenance. Due to their reliance on query rewriting techniques, the approaches are directly applicable to already deployed SPARQL engines and federations using different reification schemes, including RDF-star. Our experimental evaluation shows that our novel query rewriting approach brings significant run-time improvements w.r.t. the state-of-the-art across both centralized and federated settings. In centralized settings, our tests on two popular SPARQL engines (GraphDB and Stardog) reveal substantial runtime gains over existing query rewriting solutions, enabling scalability to RDF graphs with billions of triples. In federated settings, our experiments on the FedShop benchmark with GraphDB show the viability of Fed-NPCS for federations with up to 200 sources.

Distributed Task Execution: Opportunities, Challenges and Lessons Learnt from OmpSs-2@Cluster (Invited Talk)

Authors: Paul Carpenter, Omar Shaaban, Juliette Fournis d'Albiat, and Isabel Piedrahita

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 141, 17th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 15th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2026)

Abstract
This talk will present recent advances in extending OmpSs-2 to distributed-memory systems, highlighting three contributions and the associated challenges. OmpSs-2@Cluster employs a common address space and weak accesses to support concurrent task creation and dataflow execution across nodes. Achieving good performance and scalability on 16 to 32 nodes requires detailed performance analysis together with a set of optimizations and runtime techniques, which I will outline in the talk. Second, I will describe how task offloading, in combination with BSC’s Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB), enables OmpSs-2@Cluster to mitigate load imbalance in MPI + OmpSs-2 programs with minimal application changes. Third, I will explain how the runtime can exploit the iterative structure of certain task dependency graphs to precompute communications and execute iterative regions efficiently, yielding performance and scalability comparable to state-of-the-art asynchronous MPI+X. Together, these results indicate that distributed tasking can combine productivity, adaptability, and high performance in modern HPC applications.

Query Languages for Machine-Learning Models (Invited Talk)

Authors: Martin Grohe

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)

Abstract
In my invited talk and this accompanying paper, I discuss two logics for weighted finite structures: first-order logic with summation (FO(SUM)) and its recursive extension IFP(SUM). These logics originate from foundational work by Grädel, Gurevich, and Meer in the 1990s. In recent joint work with Standke, Steegmans, and Van den Bussche, we have investigated these logics as query languages for machine learning models, specifically neural networks, which are naturally represented as weighted graphs. I present illustrative examples of queries to neural networks that can be expressed in these logics and discuss fundamental results on their expressiveness and computational complexity.

A Game for Counting Logic Formula Size and an Application to Linear Orders

Authors: Grégoire Fournier and György Turán

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

Abstract
Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé (EF) games are a basic tool in finite model theory for proving definability lower bounds, with many applications in complexity theory and related areas. They have been applied to study various logics, giving insights on quantifier rank and other logical complexity measures. In this paper, we present an EF game to capture formula size in counting logic with a bounded number of variables. The game combines games introduced previously for counting logic quantifier rank due to Immerman and Lander, and for first-order formula size due to Adler and Immerman, and Hella and Väänänen. The game is used to prove an extension of a formula size lower bound of Grohe and Schweikardt for distinguishing linear orders, from 3-variable first-order logic to 3-variable counting logic.

Fine-Grained Complexity of Ontology Mediated Queries (Invited Paper)

Authors: Cristina Feier

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 138, Joint Proceedings of the 20th and 21st Reasoning Web Summer Schools (RW 2024 & RW 2025)

Abstract
This article surveys some approaches for establishing fine-grained complexity results for evaluation of ontology mediated queries (OMQs). It accompanies a related talk given at the Reasoning Web Summer School 2024. It zooms into some characterizations of efficiency in a parameterized complexity framework for OMQs based on various description logics and guarded tgds. As such results were established using results from query evaluation on databases, it also discusses the relevant results from the database world. After surveying some successive results on OMQs which all leverage database results in custom ways, it describes an approach which provides a general fpt reduction from query evaluation in the database world to query evaluation in the OMQ world. The reduction enables porting hardness results from the DB world to the OMQ world in a black-box fashion. Along these mentioned approaches, it also provides a brief survey of other approaches which are concerned with fine-grained complexity of OMQs and are based on rewriting techniques.

Foundations of Graph Neural Networks (A Logician’s View) (Invited Paper)

Authors: Egor V. Kostylev

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 138, Joint Proceedings of the 20th and 21st Reasoning Web Summer Schools (RW 2024 & RW 2025)

Abstract
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a family of neural architectures that are naturally suited to learning functions on graphs. They are now used in a wide range of applications. It has been observed that GNNs share many similarities with classical computer science (CS) formalisms, such as the Weisfeiler-Leman graph isomorphism test, bisimulation, and logic. Most notably, both GNNs and these formalisms deal with functions on graphs and graph-like structures. This observation opens up an opportunity to compare GNN architectures with these formalisms in terms of different kinds of expressibility, thus positioning these architectures within the well-established landscape of theoretical CS. This, in turn, helps us better understand the fundamental capabilities and limitations of various GNN architectures, enabling more informed choices about which architecture to use - if any at all. In these lecture notes, I give an introduction to the state-of-the-art foundations of GNNs - specifically, our current understanding of their expressibility in terms of the classical formalisms, considering several notions of expressive power.

A Fast and Simple Algorithm for the Resource Constrained Shortest Path Problem

Authors: Saman Ahmadi, Andrea Raith, and Mahdi Jalili

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

Abstract
Constrained pathfinding is a classic yet challenging network optimization problem with broad applicability across many real-world domains. The Resource-Constrained Shortest Path (RCSP) problem focuses on finding cost-optimal paths that satisfy multiple resource constraints. In this paper, we propose a novel heuristic-guided search framework that accelerates constrained search in large-scale networks, including those with negative costs and resources, by leveraging efficient queuing and pruning strategies. Experimental results on real-world benchmark maps show that our framework achieves up to two orders of magnitude speedup over state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating its effectiveness in solving challenging RCSP instances within limited time.

Improved Dominance Filtering for Unions and Minkowski Sums of Pareto Sets

Authors: Konstantinos Karathanasis, Spyros Kontogiannis, and Christos Zaroliagis

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

Abstract
A key task in multi-objective optimization is to compute the Pareto frontier (a.k.a. Pareto subset) P of a given d-dimensional objective space F; that is, a maximal subset P ⊆ F such that every element in P is non-dominated (i.e., it is better in at least one criterion, against any other point) within F. This process, called dominance-filtering, often involves handling objective spaces derived from either the union or the Minkowski sum of two given partial objective spaces which are Pareto sets themselves, and constitutes a major bottleneck in several multi-objective optimization techniques. In this work, we introduce three new data structures, ND^{+}-trees, QND^{+}-trees and TND^{+}-trees, which are designed for efficiently indexing non-dominated objective vectors and performing dominance-checks. We also devise three new algorithms that efficiently filter out dominated objective vectors from the union or the Minkowski sum of two Pareto sets. An extensive experimental evaluation on both synthetically generated and real-world data sets reveals that our new algorithms outperform state-of-art techniques for dominance-filtering of unions and Minkowski sums of Pareto sets, and scale well w.r.t. the number of d ≥ 3 criteria and the sets' sizes.

Certified Implementability of Global Multiparty Protocols

Authors: Elaine Li and Thomas Wies

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

Abstract
Implementability is the decision problem at the heart of top-down approaches to protocol verification. In this paper, we present a mechanization of a recently proposed precise implementability characterization by Li et al. for a large class of protocols that subsumes many existing formalisms in the literature. Our protocols and implementations model asynchronous commmunication, and can exhibit infinite behavior. We improve upon their pen-and-paper results by unifying distinct formalisms, simplifying existing proof arguments, elaborating on the construction of canonical implementations, and even uncovering a subtle bug in the semantics for infinite words. As a corollary of our mechanization, we show that the original characterization of implementability applies even to protocols with infinitely many participants. We also contribute a reusable library for reasoning about generic communicating state machines. Our mechanization consists of about 15k lines of Rocq code. We believe that our mechanization can provide the foundation for deductively proving the implementability of protocols beyond the reach of prior work, extracting certified implementations for finite protocols, and investigating implementability under alternative asynchronous communication models.

Rethinking IoT Education: Is the Concept Truly Grasped?

Authors: Tomáš Kormaník and Jaroslav Porubän

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 133, 6th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2025)

Abstract
This paper focuses on the topic of the Internet of Things (abbr. IoT) in the context of higher education and academic understanding of it. When briefly looking at the IoT course curriculum at our department, we suspected that the curriculum contents are not adhering to the definition of IoT. The goal of our work was to pinpoint the correct definition of IoT, which can be used to bring contents of the IoT courses as close to the truth as possible. Secondarily, we reviewed available articles and reviews of formerly and currently taught IoT or related courses and evaluated whether their approach and contents were correct when considering the definition of IoT. We summarise the issues present in existing works and identify which specific parts are problematic, according to our assessment. Improving IoT courses is crucial since it shapes a student’s understanding of the IoT paradigm and allows them to use it or even develop it in the future. Provisioning our students with a needed set of skills will make them more suitable for research, development, and industry-related futures.

An Improved Guillotine Cut for Squares

Authors: Parinya Chalermsook, Axel Kugelmann, Ly Orgo, Sumedha Uniyal, and Minoo Zarsav

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

Abstract
Given a set of n non-overlapping geometric objects, can we separate a constant fraction of them using straight-line cuts that extend from edge to edge? In 1996, Urrutia posed this question for compact convex objects. Pach and Tardos later refuted it for general line segments by constructing a family where any separable subfamily has size at most O (n^{log₃ 2}). However, for axis-parallel rectangles, they provided positive evidence, showing that an Ω(1/log n)-fraction can be separated. This problem naturally arises in geometric approximation algorithms. In particular, when restricting cuts to only orthogonal straight lines, known as a guillotine cut sequence, any bound on the separability ratio directly translates into a clean and simple dynamic programming for computing a maximum independent set of geometric objects. This paper focuses on the case when the objects are squares. For squares of arbitrary sizes, an Ω(1)-fraction can be separated (Abed et al., APPROX 2015), recently improved to 1/40 (and 1/160 ≈ 0.62% for the weighted case) (Khan and Pittu, APPROX 2020). We further improve this bound, showing that a 9/256 ≈ 3.51% can be separated for the weighted case. This result significantly narrows the possible range for squares to [3.51%, 50%]. The key to our improvement is a refined analysis of the existing framework.

Bridging Language Barriers: A Comparative Review and Empirical Evaluation of Source-To-Source Transpilers

Authors: André Freitas, Tiago Baptista, and Pedro Rangel Henriques

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 135, 14th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2025)

Abstract
Source-to-source transpilation plays a pivotal role in modern software engineering by enabling code migration, feature adoption, and cross-language interoperability without sacrificing semantic integrity. The contributions discussed in this paper can be split into two. The first is a comprehensive literature review that aims at defining what transpilers are, traces their historical evolution from early Fortran/COBOL preprocessors to more recent tools like Babel and TypeScript, and examines key parsing methodologies, AST representations, and transformation strategies. The second is an experimental investigation which assesses several popular transpilers - selected by GitHub popularity and unique language-pair capabilities, when applied to an equivalent code snippet designed to sum even numbers and identify the maximum element. The metrics evaluated were the execution time, CPU, memory consumption, output accuracy and usability.

Substructural Parametricity

Authors: C. B. Aberlé, Karl Crary, Chris Martens, and Frank Pfenning

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

Abstract
Ordered, linear, and other substructural type systems allow us to expose deep properties of programs at the syntactic level of types. In this paper, we develop a family of unary logical relations that allow us to prove consequences of parametricity for a range of substructural type systems. A key idea is to parameterize the relation by an algebra, which we exemplify with a monoid and commutative monoid to interpret ordered and linear type systems, respectively. We prove the fundamental theorem of logical relations and apply it to deduce extensional properties of inhabitants of certain types. Examples include demonstrating that the ordered types for list append and reversal are inhabited by exactly one function, as are types of some tree traversals. Similarly, the linear type of the identity function on lists is inhabited only by permutations of the input. Our most advanced example shows that the ordered type of the list fold function is inhabited only by the fold function.
