How Many Slopes Does Polynomial Area Cost?

Authors: Michael A. Bekos, Eleni Katsanou, Philipp Kindermann, and Maria Eleni Pavlidi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
In this work, we study the interplay between the number of slopes, the number of bends per edge, and the area requirements for planar drawings of bounded-degree graphs. Our motivation stems from the fact that, while numerous algorithms produce planar drawings with few slopes for graphs of relatively small degree in polynomial area, existing approaches for higher-degree graphs often require super-polynomial area. We address this gap in the literature by presenting new constructions that yield polynomial-area drawings with few bends per edge while slightly increasing the required number of slopes, thereby providing the first systematic study of slopes, bends and area trade-offs.

Threshold-Driven Streaming Graph: Expansion and Rumor Spreading

Authors: Flora Angileri, Andrea Clementi, Emanuele Natale, Michele Salvi, and Isabella Ziccardi

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

Abstract
A randomized distributed algorithm called RAES was introduced in [Becchetti et al., 2020] to extract a bounded-degree expander from a dense n-vertex expander graph G = (V, E). The algorithm relies on a simple threshold-based procedure. A key assumption in [Becchetti et al., 2020] is that the input graph G is static - i.e., both its vertex set V and edge set E remain unchanged throughout the process - while the analysis of raes in dynamic models is left as a major open question. In this work, we investigate the behavior of RAES under a dynamic graph model induced by a streaming node-churn process (also known as the sliding window model), where, at each discrete round, a new node joins the graph and the oldest node departs. This process yields a bounded-degree dynamic graph 𝒢 = {G_t = (V_t, E_t) : t ∈ ℕ} that captures essential characteristics of peer-to-peer networks - specifically, node churn and threshold on the number of connections each node can manage. We prove that every snapshot G_t in the dynamic graph sequence has good expansion properties with high probability. Furthermore, we leverage this property to establish a logarithmic upper bound on the completion time of the well-known PUSH and PULL rumor spreading protocols over the dynamic graph 𝒢.

Faster Approximate Elastic-Degenerate String Matching - Part B

Authors: Paweł Gawrychowski, Adam Górkiewicz, Pola Marciniak, Solon P. Pissis, and Karol Pokorski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 331, 36th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2025)

Abstract
We revisit the complexity of approximate pattern matching in an elastic-degenerate string. Such a string is a sequence of n finite sets of strings of total length N, and compactly describes a collection of strings obtained by first choosing exactly one string in every set, and then concatenating them together. This is motivated by the need of storing a collection of highly similar DNA sequences. The basic algorithmic question on elastic-degenerate strings is pattern matching: given such an elastic-degenerate string and a standard pattern of length m, check if the pattern occurs in one of the strings in the described collection. Bernardini et al. [SICOMP 2022] showed how to leverage fast matrix multiplication to obtain an Õ(nm^{ω-1})+𝒪(N)-time complexity for this problem, where ω is the matrix multiplication exponent. However, from the point of view of possible applications, it is more desirable to work with approximate pattern matching, where we seek approximate occurrences of the pattern. This generalization has been considered in a few papers already, but the best result so far for occurrences with k mismatches, where k is a constant, is the Õ(nm²+N)-time algorithm presented in Part A [CPM 2025]. This brings the question whether increasing the dependency on m from m^{ω-1} to quadratic is necessary when moving from k = 0 to larger (but still constant) k. We design an Õ(nm^{1.5}+N)-time algorithm for pattern matching with k mismatches in an elastic-degenerate string, for any constant k. To obtain this time bound, we leverage the structural characterization of occurrences with k mismatches of Charalampopoulos, Kociumaka, and Wellnitz [FOCS 2020] together with fast Fourier transform. We need to work with multiple patterns at the same time, instead of a single pattern, which requires refining the original characterization. This might be of independent interest.

Strong Induction Is an Up-To Technique

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Elena Di Lavore, and Anna Ricci

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

Abstract
Up-to techniques are enhancements of the coinduction proof principle which, in lattice theoretic terms, is the dual of induction. What is the dual of coinduction up-to? By means of duality, we illustrate a theory of induction up-to and we observe that an elementary proof technique, commonly known as strong induction, is an instance of induction up-to. We also show that, when generalising our theory from lattices to categories, one obtains an enhancement of the induction definition principle known in the literature as comonadic recursion.

Approximation of Nested Fixpoints – A Coalgebraic View of Parametric Dataypes

Authors: Alexander Kurz, Alberto Pardo, Daniela Petrisan, Paula Severi, and Fer-Jan de Vries

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 35, 6th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2015)

Abstract
The question addressed in this paper is how to correctly approximate infinite data given by systems of simultaneous corecursive definitions. We devise a categorical framework for reasoning about regular datatypes, that is, datatypes closed under products, coproducts and fixpoints. We argue that the right methodology is on one hand coalgebraic (to deal with possible nontermination and infinite data) and on the other hand 2-categorical (to deal with parameters in a disciplined manner). We prove a coalgebraic version of Bekic lemma that allows us to reduce simultaneous fixpoints to a single fix point. Thus a possibly infinite object of interest is regarded as a final coalgebra of a many-sorted polynomial functor and can be seen as a limit of finite approximants. As an application, we prove correctness of a generic function that calculates the approximants on a large class of data types.
