Classical Algorithms for Constant Approximation of the Ground State Energy of Local Hamiltonians

Authors: François Le Gall

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


Abstract
We construct classical algorithms computing an approximation of the ground state energy of an arbitrary k-local Hamiltonian acting on n qubits. We first consider the setting where a good "guiding state" is available, which is the main setting where quantum algorithms are expected to achieve an exponential speedup over classical methods. We show that a constant approximation (i.e., an approximation with constant relative accuracy) of the ground state energy can be computed classically in poly (1/χ,n) time and poly(n) space, where χ denotes the overlap between the guiding state and the ground state (as in prior works in dequantization, we assume sample-and-query access to the guiding state). This gives a significant improvement over the recent classical algorithm by Gharibian and Le Gall (SICOMP 2023), and matches (up to a polynomial overhead) both the time and space complexities of quantum algorithms for constant approximation of the ground state energy. We also obtain classical algorithms for higher-precision approximation. For the setting where no guided state is given (i.e., the standard version of the local Hamiltonian problem), we obtain a classical algorithm computing a constant approximation of the ground state energy in 2^O(n) time and poly(n) space. To our knowledge, before this work it was unknown how to classically achieve these bounds simultaneously, even for constant approximation. We also discuss complexity-theoretic aspects of our results.

Modeling and Explaining an Industrial Workforce Allocation and Scheduling Problem

Authors: Ignace Bleukx, Ryma Boumazouza, Tias Guns, Nadine Laage, and Guillaume Poveda

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)


Abstract
We present an industrial case on workforce allocation and scheduling in the aircraft manufacturing industry, where available teams need to be assigned to logistical operations. This application presents several challenges such as the scale of the problem, the need for fair workload distribution, and the need for methods for mitigating unforeseen disruptions due to technical malfunctions or incompatible weather conditions. We compare different Constraint Programming (CP) models for the allocation and scheduling problems, with extra focus on modeling the workload balancing component. Additionally, we investigate different techniques for explaining infeasibility of a disrupted schedule, such as conflict computation using Minimal Unsatisfiable Subsets (MUSes) and feasibility restoration using Minimal Correction Subsets (MCSes) or constraint relaxations. Our experimental results show that by using appropriate modeling techniques, the problem can be solved in reasonable time, thereby producing fair schedules. Additionally, we show how invalidated schedules can be explained and restored efficiently to help human operators in solving disruptions to the schedule.

Analyzing Reformulation Performance in Core-Guided MaxSAT Solving

Authors: André Schidler and Stefan Szeider

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)


Abstract
Core-guided algorithms like OLL are among the best methods for solving the Maximum Satisfiability problem (MaxSAT). Although some performance characteristics of OLL have been studied, a comprehensive experimental analysis of its reformulation behavior is still missing. In this paper, we present a large-scale study on how different reformulations of a MaxSAT instance produced by OLL affect solver performance. By representing these reformulations as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), we isolate the impact of structural features - such as the size and interconnectivity of unsatisfiable cores - on solver runtime. Our extensive experimental evaluation of over 600k solver runs reveals clear correlations between DAG properties and performance outcomes. These results suggest a new avenue for designing heuristics that steer the solver toward more tractable reformulations. All OLL DAGs and performance data from our experiments are publicly available to foster further research.

Abstract
Openly available, collaboratively edited Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are key platforms for the collective management of evolving knowledge. The present work aims t o provide an analysis of the obstacles related to investigating and processing specifically this central aspect of evolution in KGs. To this end, we discuss (i) the dimensions of evolution in KGs, (ii) the observability of evolution in existing, open, collaboratively constructed Knowledge Graphs over time, and (iii) possible metrics to analyse this evolution. We provide an overview of relevant state-of-the-art research, ranging from metrics developed for Knowledge Graphs specifically to potential methods from related fields such as network science. Additionally, we discuss technical approaches - and their current limitations - related to storing, analysing and processing large and evolving KGs in terms of handling typical KG downstream tasks.

Dynamic Power Consumption of the Full Posit Processing Unit: Analysis and Experiments

Authors: Michele Piccoli, Davide Zoni, William Fornaciari, Giuseppe Massari, Marco Cococcioni, Federico Rossi, Sergio Saponara, and Emanuele Ruffaldi

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 107, 14th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 12th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2023)


Abstract
Since its introduction in 2017, the Posit™ format for representing real numbers has attracted a lot of interest, as an alternative to IEEE 754 floating point representation. Several hardware implementations of arithmetic operations between posit numbers have also been proposed in recent years. In this work, we analyze the dynamic power consumption of the Full Posit Processing Unit (FPPU) recently developed at the University of Pisa. Experimental results show that we can model the dynamic power consumption of the FPPU with an acceptable approximation error from 2.84% (32-bit FPPU) to 7.32% (8-bit FPPU). Furthermore, from the synthesis of the power monitoring unit alongside the FPPU we demonstrate that the additional power module has an area cost that goes from ∼5% (32-bit FPPU) to ∼30% (8-bit FPPU) of the total unit area occupation.
