Hexasort - the Complexity of Stacking Colors on Graphs

Authors: Linus Klocker and Simon Dominik Fink

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

Abstract
Many popular puzzle and matching games have been analyzed through the lens of computational complexity. Prominent examples include Sudoku [Takayuki Yato and Takahiro Seta, 2003], Candy Crush [Luciano Gualà et al., 2014], and Flood-It [Fellows et al., 2018]. A common theme among these widely played games is that their generalized decision versions are NP-hard, which is often thought of as a source of their inherent difficulty and addictive appeal to human players. In this paper, we study a popular single-player stacking game commonly known as Hexasort. The game can be modelled as placing colored stacks onto the vertices of a graph, where adjacent stacks of the same color merge and vanish according to deterministic rules. We prove that Hexasort is NP-hard, even when restricted to single-color stacks and progressively more constrained classes of graphs, culminating in strong NP-hardness on trees of either bounded height or degree. Towards fixed-parameter tractable algorithms, we identify settings in which the problem becomes polynomial-time solvable and present dynamic programming algorithms.

On the PTAS Complexity of Multidimensional Knapsack

Authors: Ilan Doron-Arad, Ariel Kulik, and Pasin Manurangsi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We study the d-dimensional knapsack problem. We are given a set of items, each with a d-dimensional cost vector and a profit, along with a d-dimensional budget vector. The goal is to select a set of items that do not exceed the budget in all dimensions and maximize the total profit. A polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) with running time n^{Θ(d/{ε})} has long been known for this problem, where {ε} is the error parameter and n is the encoding size. Despite decades of active research, the best running time of a PTAS has remained O(n^{⌈ d/{ε} ⌉ - d}). Unfortunately, existing lower bounds only cover the special case with two dimensions d = 2, and do not answer whether there is a n^{o(d/({ε)})}-time PTAS for larger values of d. In this work, we show that the running times of the best-known PTAS cannot be improved up to a polylogarithmic factor assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH). Our techniques are based on a robust reduction from 2-CSP, which embeds 2-CSP constraints into a desired number of dimensions. Then, using a recent result of [Bafna Karthik and Minzer, STOC'25], we succeed in exhibiting tight trade-off between d and {ε} for all regimes of the parameters assuming d is sufficiently large. Informally, our result also shows that under ETH, for any function f there is no f(d/({ε)}) ⋅ n^{õ(d/({ε)})}-time (1-{ε})-approximation for d-dimensional knapsack, where n is the number of items and õ hides polylogarithmic factors in d/({ε)}.

On the Complexity of Secluded Path Problems

Authors: Tesshu Hanaka and Daisuke Tsuru

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
This paper investigates the complexity of finding secluded paths in graphs. We focus on the Short Secluded Path problem and a natural new variant we introduce, Shortest Secluded Path. Formally, given an undirected graph G = (V, E), two vertices s,t ∈ V, and two integers k,l, the Short Secluded Path problem asks whether there exists an s-t path of length at most k with at most l neighbors. This problem is known to be computationally hard: it is W[1]-hard when parameterized by the path length k or by cliquewidth, and para-NP-complete when parameterized by the number l of neighbors. The fixed-parameter tractability is known for k+l or treewidth. In this paper, we expand the parameterized complexity landscape by designing (1) an XP algorithm parameterized by cliquewidth and (2) fixed-parameter algorithms parameterized by neighborhood diversity and twin cover number, respectively. As a byproduct, our results also provide parameterized algorithms for the classic s-t k-Path problem. Furthermore, we introduce the Shortest Secluded Path problem, which seeks a shortest s-t path with the minimum number of neighbors. In contrast to the hardness of the original problem, we reveal that this variant is solvable in polynomial time on unweighted graphs. We complete this by showing that for edge-weighted graphs, the problem becomes W[1]-hard yet remains in XP when parameterized by the shortest path distance between s and t.

Improved Approximation for Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion and Parameterized Complexity of Its Variants

Authors: Satyabrata Jana, Soumen Mandal, Ashutosh Rai, and Saket Saurabh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
The pathwidth of a graph is a measure of how path-like the graph is. The Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (POVD) problem asks whether, given an undirected graph G and an integer k, one can delete at most k vertices from G so that the remaining graph has pathwidth at most one. This is a natural variation of the classical Feedback vertex Set (FVS) problem, where the deletion of at most k vertices results in a graph of treewidth at most one. In this work, we investigate POVD in the realm of approximation algorithms. We first design a 3-approximation algorithm for POVD running in polynomial time. Then, using this constant factor approximation algorithm, we obtain a randomized parameterized approximation algorithm for POVD running in time 𝒪^*((h_β)^k), that improves the fastest existing running times for approximation ratios in the range (1.76147,3). Here the constant h_β depends on the approximation factor β alone and has value 2^{(3-β)}, which lies in the range (1,2.3596), when β ∈ (1.76147,3). Taking inspiration from two extensively studied problems, namely Connected FVS and Independent FVS, we investigate two variations of the POVD problem from the perspective of parameterized algorithms. These variations are the connected variant, called Connected pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (CPOVD) and the independent variant, called Independent Pathwidth One Vertex Deletion (IPOVD). While in CPOVD the subgraph G[S] induced by the vertices to be deleted needs to be connected, in IPOVD it needs to be independent. Specifically, we show the following results. - CPOVD can be solved in {𝒪}^*(14^k) time and admits no polynomial kernel unless NP ⊆ {co-NP/poly}. - IPOVD can be solved in {𝒪}^*(7^k) time, and admits a kernel of size 𝒪(k³).

Graph Modification of Bounded Size to Minor-Closed Classes as Fast as Vertex Deletion

Authors: Laure Morelle, Ignasi Sau, and Dimitrios M. Thilikos

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

Abstract
A replacement action is a function ℒ that maps each graph H to a collection of graphs of size at most |V(H)|. Given a graph class ℋ, we consider a general family of graph modification problems, called ℒ-Replacement to ℋ, where the input is a graph G and the question is whether it is possible to replace some induced subgraph H₁ of G on at most k vertices by a graph H₂ in ℒ(H₁) so that the resulting graph belongs to ℋ. ℒ-Replacement to ℋ can simulate many graph modification problems including vertex deletion, edge deletion/addition/edition/contraction, vertex identification, subgraph complementation, independent set deletion, (induced) matching deletion/contraction, etc. We present two algorithms. The first one solves ℒ-Replacement to ℋ in time 2^poly(k) ⋅ |V(G)|² for every minor-closed graph class ℋ, where poly is a polynomial whose degree depends on ℋ, under a mild technical condition on ℒ. This generalizes the results of Morelle, Sau, Stamoulis, and Thilikos [ICALP 2020, ICALP 2023] for the particular case of Vertex Deletion to ℋ within the same running time. Our second algorithm is an improvement of the first one when ℋ is the class of graphs embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most g and runs in time 2^𝒪(k⁹) ⋅ |V(G)|², where the 𝒪(⋅) notation depends on g. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first parameterized algorithms with a reasonable parametric dependence for such a general family of graph modification problems to minor-closed classes.

Monotone Bounded-Depth Complexity of Homomorphism Polynomials

Authors: C.S. Bhargav, Shiteng Chen, Radu Curticapean, and Prateek Dwivedi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
For every fixed graph H, it is known that homomorphism counts from H and colorful H-subgraph counts can be determined in O(n^{t+1}) time on n-vertex input graphs G, where t is the treewidth of H. On the other hand, a running time of n^{o(t / log t)} would refute the exponential-time hypothesis. Komarath, Pandey, and Rahul (Algorithmica, 2023) studied algebraic variants of these counting problems, i.e., homomorphism and subgraph polynomials for fixed graphs H. These polynomials are weighted sums over the objects counted above, where each object is weighted by the product of variables corresponding to edges contained in the object. As shown by Komarath et al., the monotone circuit complexity of the homomorphism polynomial for H is Θ(n^{tw(H)+1}). In this paper, we characterize the power of monotone bounded-depth circuits for homomorphism and colorful subgraph polynomials. This leads us to discover a natural hierarchy of graph parameters tw_Δ(H), for fixed Δ ∈ ℕ, which capture the width of tree-decompositions for H when the underlying tree is required to have depth at most Δ. We prove that monotone circuits of product-depth Δ computing the homomorphism polynomial for H require size Θ(n^{tw_Δ(H^{†})+1}), where H^{†} is the graph obtained from H by removing all degree-1 vertices. This allows us to derive an optimal depth hierarchy theorem for monotone bounded-depth circuits through graph-theoretic arguments.

Deciding Regular Games: a Playground for Exponential Time Algorithms

Authors: Zihui Liang, Bakh Khoussainov, and Mingyu Xiao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
Regular games form a well-established class of games for analysis and synthesis of reactive systems. They include colored Muller games, McNaughton games, Muller games, Rabin games, and Streett games. These games are played on directed graphs G where Player 0 and Player 1 play by generating an infinite path ρ through the graph. The winner is determined by specifications put on the set X of vertices in ρ that occur infinitely often. These games are determined, enabling the partitioning of G into two sets Win₀ and Win₁ of winning positions for Player 0 and Player 1, respectively. Numerous algorithms exist that decide instances of regular games, e.g., Muller games, by computing Win₀ and Win₁. In this paper we aim to find general principles for designing uniform algorithms that decide all regular games. For this we utilize various recursive and dynamic programming algorithms that leverage standard notions such as subgames and traps. Importantly, we show that our techniques improve or match the performances of existing algorithms for many instances of regular games.

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.

Colorful Vertex Recoloring of Bipartite Graphs

Authors: Boaz Patt-Shamir, Adi Rosén, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
We consider the problem of vertex recoloring: we are given n vertices with their initial coloring, and edges arrive in an online fashion. The algorithm is required to maintain a valid coloring by means of vertex recoloring, where recoloring a vertex incurs a cost. The problem abstracts a scenario of job placement in machines (possibly in the cloud), where vertices represent jobs, colors represent machines, and edges represent "anti affinity" (disengagement) constraints. Online coloring in this setting is a hard problem, and only a few cases were analyzed. One family of instances which is fairly well-understood is bipartite graphs, i.e., instances in which two colors are sufficient to satisfy all constraints. In this case it is known that the competitive ratio of vertex recoloring is Θ(log n). In this paper we propose a generalization of the problem, which allows using additional colors (possibly at a higher cost), to improve overall performance. Concretely, we analyze the simple case of bipartite graphs of bounded largest bond (a bond of a connected graph is an edge-cut that partitions the graph into two connected components). From the upper bound perspective, we propose two algorithms. One algorithm exhibits a trade-off for the uniform-cost case: given Ω(logβ) ≤ c ≤ O(log n) colors, the algorithm guarantees that its cost is at most O((log n)/c) times the optimal offline cost for two colors, where n is the number of vertices and β is the size of the largest bond of the graph. The other algorithm is designed for the case where the additional colors come at a higher cost, D > 1: given Δ additional colors, where Δ is the maximum degree in the graph, the algorithm guarantees a competitive ratio of O(log D). From the lower bounds viewpoint, we show that if the cost of the extra colors is D > 1, no algorithm (even randomized) can achieve a competitive ratio of o(log D). We also show that in the case of general bipartite graphs (i.e., of unbounded bond size), any deterministic online algorithm has competitive ratio Ω(min(D,log n)).

MaxMin Separation Problems: FPT Algorithms for st-Separator and Odd Cycle Transversal

Authors: Ajinkya Gaikwad, Hitendra Kumar, Soumen Maity, Saket Saurabh, and Roohani Sharma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
In this paper, we study the parameterized complexity of the MaxMin versions of two fundamental separation problems: Maximum Minimal st-Separator and Maximum Minimal Odd Cycle Transversal (OCT), both parameterized by the solution size. In the Maximum Minimal st-Separator problem, given a graph G, two distinct vertices s and t and a positive integer k, the goal is to determine whether there exists a minimal st-separator in G of size at least k. Similarly, the Maximum Minimal OCT problem seeks to determine if there exists a minimal set of vertices whose deletion results in a bipartite graph, and whose size is at least k. We demonstrate that both problems are fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k. Our FPT algorithm for Maximum Minimal st-Separator answers the open question by Hanaka, Bodlaender, van der Zanden & Ono [TCS 2019]. One unique insight from this work is the following. We use the meta-result of Lokshtanov, Ramanujan, Saurabh & Zehavi [ICALP 2018] that enables us to reduce our problems to highly unbreakable graphs. This is interesting, as an explicit use of the recursive understanding and randomized contractions framework of Chitnis, Cygan, Hajiaghayi, Pilipczuk & Pilipczuk [SICOMP 2016] to reduce to the highly unbreakable graphs setting (which is the result that Lokshtanov et al. tries to abstract out in their meta-theorem) does not seem obvious because certain "extension" variants of our problems are W[1]-hard.

Can You Link Up With Treewidth?

Authors: Radu Curticapean, Simon Döring, Daniel Neuen, and Jiaheng Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
A central result by Marx [ToC '10] constructs k-vertex graphs H of maximum degree 3 such that n^o(k/log k) time algorithms for detecting colorful H-subgraphs would refute the Exponential-Time Hypothesis (ETH). This result is widely used to obtain almost-tight conditional lower bounds for parameterized problems under ETH. Our first contribution is a new and fully self-contained proof of this result that further simplifies a recent work by Karthik et al. [SOSA 2024]. In our proof, we introduce a novel graph parameter of independent interest, the linkage capacity γ(H), and show that detecting colorful H-subgraphs in time n^o(γ(H)) refutes ETH. Then, we use a simple construction of communication networks credited to Beneš to obtain k-vertex graphs of maximum degree 3 and linkage capacity Ω(k/log k), avoiding arguments involving expander graphs, which were required in previous papers. We also show that every graph H of treewidth t has linkage capacity Ω(t/log t), thus recovering a stronger result shown by Marx [ToC '10] with a simplified proof. Additionally, we obtain new tight lower bounds on the complexity of subgraph detection for certain types of patterns by analyzing their linkage capacity: We prove that almost all k-vertex graphs of polynomial average degree Ω(k^β) for β > 0 have linkage capacity Θ(k), which implies tight lower bounds for finding such patterns H. As an application of these results, we also obtain tight lower bounds for counting small induced subgraphs having a fixed property Φ, improving bounds from, e.g., [Roth et al., FOCS 2020].

Protecting the Connectivity of a Graph Under Non-Uniform Edge Failures

Authors: Felix Hommelsheim, Zhenwei Liu, Nicole Megow, and Guochuan Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
We study the problem of guaranteeing the connectivity of a given graph by protecting or strengthening edges. Herein, a protected edge is assumed to be robust and will not fail, which features a non-uniform failure model. We introduce the (p,q)-Steiner-Connectivity Preservation problem where we protect a minimum-cost set of edges such that the underlying graph maintains p-edge-connectivity between given terminal pairs against edge failures, assuming at most q unprotected edges can fail. We design polynomial-time exact algorithms for the cases where p and q are small and approximation algorithms for general values of p and q. Additionally, we show that when both p and q are part of the input, even deciding whether a given solution is feasible is NP-complete. This hardness also carries over to Flexible Network Design, a research direction that has gained significant attention. In particular, previous work focuses on problem settings where either p or q is constant, for which our new hardness result now provides justification.

On the Complexity of the Median and Closest Permutation Problems

Authors: Luís Cunha, Ignasi Sau, and Uéverton Souza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 312, 24th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2024)

Abstract
Genome rearrangements are events where large blocks of DNA exchange places during evolution. The analysis of these events is a promising tool for understanding evolutionary genomics, providing data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on genome rearrangement measures. Many pairwise rearrangement distances have been proposed, based on finding the minimum number of rearrangement events to transform one genome into the other, using some predefined operation. When more than two genomes are considered, we have the more challenging problem of rearrangement-based phylogeny reconstruction. Given a set of genomes and a distance notion, there are at least two natural ways to define the "target" genome. On the one hand, finding a genome that minimizes the sum of the distances from this to any other, called the median genome. On the other hand, finding a genome that minimizes the maximum distance to any other, called the closest genome. Considering genomes as permutations of distinct integers, some distance metrics have been extensively studied. We investigate the median and closest problems on permutations over the following metrics: breakpoint distance, swap distance, block-interchange distance, short-block-move distance, and transposition distance. In biological applications some values are usually very small, such as the solution value d or the number k of input permutations. For each of these metrics and parameters d or k, we analyze the closest and the median problems from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity. We obtain the following results: NP-hardness for finding the median/closest permutation regarding some metrics of distance, even for only k = 3 permutations; Polynomial kernels for the problems of finding the median permutation of all studied metrics, considering the target distance d as parameter; NP-hardness result for finding the closest permutation by short-block-moves; FPT algorithms and infeasibility of polynomial kernels for finding the closest permutation for some metrics when parameterized by the target distance d.

Taming Graphs with No Large Creatures and Skinny Ladders

Authors: Jakub Gajarský, Lars Jaffke, Paloma T. Lima, Jana Novotná, Marcin Pilipczuk, Paweł Rzążewski, and Uéverton S. Souza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)

Abstract
We confirm a conjecture of Gartland and Lokshtanov [arXiv:2007.08761]: if for a hereditary graph class 𝒢 there exists a constant k such that no member of 𝒢 contains a k-creature as an induced subgraph or a k-skinny-ladder as an induced minor, then there exists a polynomial p such that every G ∈ 𝒢 contains at most p(|V(G)|) minimal separators. By a result of Fomin, Todinca, and Villanger [SIAM J. Comput. 2015] the latter entails the existence of polynomial-time algorithms for Maximum Weight Independent Set, Feedback Vertex Set and many other problems, when restricted to an input graph from 𝒢. Furthermore, as shown by Gartland and Lokshtanov, our result implies a full dichotomy of hereditary graph classes defined by a finite set of forbidden induced subgraphs into tame (admitting a polynomial bound of the number of minimal separators) and feral (containing infinitely many graphs with exponential number of minimal separators).

Reducing the Vertex Cover Number via Edge Contractions

Authors: Paloma T. Lima, Vinicius F. dos Santos, Ignasi Sau, Uéverton S. Souza, and Prafullkumar Tale

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

Abstract
The Contraction(vc) problem takes as input a graph G on n vertices and two integers k and d, and asks whether one can contract at most k edges to reduce the size of a minimum vertex cover of G by at least d. Recently, Lima et al. [MFCS 2020, JCSS 2021] proved, among other results, that unlike most of the so-called blocker problems, Contraction(vc) admits an XP algorithm running in time f(d) ⋅ n^O(d). They left open the question of whether this problem is FPT under this parameterization. In this article, we continue this line of research and prove the following results: - Contraction(vc) is W[1]-hard parameterized by k + d. Moreover, unless the ETH fails, the problem does not admit an algorithm running in time f(k + d) ⋅ n^o(k + d) for any function f. In particular, this answers the open question stated in Lima et al. [MFCS 2020] in the negative. - It is NP-hard to decide whether an instance (G, k, d) of {Contraction(vc)} is a Yes-instance even when k = d, hence enhancing our understanding of the classical complexity of the problem. - Contraction(vc) can be solved in time 2^O(d) ⋅ n^{k - d + O(1)}. This XP algorithm improves the one of Lima et al. [MFCS 2020], which uses Courcelle’s theorem as a subroutine and hence, the f(d)-factor in the running time is non-explicit and probably very large. On the other hand, this shows that when k = d, the problem is FPT parameterized by d (or by k).
