A Practical 73/50 Approximation for Contiguous Monotone Moldable Job Scheduling

Authors: Klaus Jansen and Felix Ohnesorge

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

Abstract
In moldable job scheduling, we are provided m identical machines and n jobs that can be executed on a variable number of machines. The execution time of each job depends on the number of machines assigned to execute that job. For the specific problem of monotone moldable job scheduling, jobs are assumed to have a processing time that is non-increasing in the number of machines. The previous best-known algorithms are: (1) a Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (PTAS) with time complexity Ω(n^{g(1/ε)}), where g(⋅) is a super-exponential function [Jansen and Thöle '08; Jansen and Land '18], (2) a Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (FPTAS) for the case of m ≥ 8n/(ε) [Jansen and Land '18], and (3) a 3/2 approximation with time complexity O(nmlog(mn)) [Wu, Zhang, and Chen '23]. We present a new practically efficient algorithm with an approximation ratio of ≈ (1.4593 + ε) and a time complexity of O(nm log 1/(ε)). Our result also applies to the contiguous variant of the problem. In addition to our theoretical results, we implement the presented algorithm and show that the practical performance is significantly better than the theoretical worst-case approximation ratio.

LLM-Supported Manufacturing Mapping Generation

Authors: Wilma Johanna Schmidt, Irlan Grangel-González, Adrian Paschke, and Evgeny Kharlamov

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
In large manufacturing companies, such as Bosch, that operate thousands of production lines with each comprising up to dozens of production machines and other equipment, even simple inventory questions such as of location and quantities of a particular equipment type require non-trivial solutions. Addressing these questions requires to integrate multiple heterogeneous data sets which is time consuming and error prone and demands domain as well as knowledge experts. Knowledge graphs (KGs) are practical for consolidating inventory data by bringing it into the same format and linking inventory items. However, the KG creation and maintenance itself pose challenges as mappings are needed to connect data sets and ontologies. In this work, we address these challenges by exploring LLM-supported and context-enhanced generation of both YARRRML and RML mappings. Facing large ontologies in the manufacturing domain and token limitations in LLM prompts, we further evaluate ontology reduction methods in our approach. We evaluate our approach both quantitatively against reference mappings created manually by experts and, for YARRRML, also qualitatively with expert feedback. This work extends the exploration of the challenges with LLM-supported and context-enhanced mapping generation YARRRML [Schmidt et al., 2025] by comprehensive analyses on RML mappings and an ontology reduction evaluation. We further publish the source code of this work. Our work provides a valuable support when creating manufacturing mappings and supports data and schema updates.

Visualizing Treewidth

Authors: Alvin Chiu, Thomas Depian, David Eppstein, Michael T. Goodrich, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)

Abstract
A witness drawing of a graph is a visualization that clearly shows a given property of a graph. We study and implement various drawing paradigms for witness drawings to clearly show that graphs have bounded pathwidth or treewidth. Our approach draws the tree decomposition or path decomposition as a tree of bags, with induced subgraphs shown in each bag, and with "tracks" for each graph vertex connecting its copies in multiple bags. Within bags, we optimize the vertex layout to avoid crossings of edges and tracks. We implement a visualization prototype for crossing minimization using dynamic programming for graphs of small width and heuristic approaches for graphs of larger width. We introduce a taxonomy of drawing styles, which render the subgraph for each bag as an arc diagram with one or two pages or as a circular layout with straight-line edges, and we render tracks either with straight lines or with orbital-radial paths.

Optimal Quantum Algorithm for Estimating Fidelity to a Pure State

Authors: Wang Fang and Qisheng Wang

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

Abstract
We present an optimal quantum algorithm for fidelity estimation between two quantum states when one of them is pure. In particular, the (square root) fidelity of a mixed state to a pure state can be estimated to within additive error ε by using Θ(1/ε) queries to their state-preparation circuits, achieving a quadratic speedup over the folklore O(1/ε²). Our approach is technically simple, and can moreover estimate the quantity √{tr(ρσ²)} that is not common in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first query-optimal approach to fidelity estimation involving mixed states.

Semi-Streaming Algorithms for Hypergraph Matching

Authors: Henrik Reinstädtler, S M Ferdous, Alex Pothen, Bora Uçar, and Christian Schulz

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

Abstract
We propose two one-pass streaming algorithms for the NP-hard hypergraph matching problem. The first algorithm stores a small subset of potential matching edges in a stack using dual variables to select edges. It has an approximation guarantee of 1/(d(1+ε)) and requires 𝒪((n/ε)log²n) bits of memory, where n is the number of vertices in the hypergraph, d is the maximum number of vertices in a hyperedge, and ε > 0 is a parameter to be chosen. The second algorithm computes, stores, and updates a single matching as the edges stream, with an approximation ratio dependent on a parameter α. Its best approximation guarantee is 1/((2d-1) + 2 √{d(d-1)}), and it requires only 𝒪(n) memory. We have implemented both algorithms and compared them with respect to solution quality, memory consumption, and running times on two diverse sets of hypergraphs with a non-streaming greedy and a naive streaming algorithm. Our results show that the streaming algorithms achieve much better solution quality than naive algorithms when facing adverse orderings. Furthermore, these algorithms reduce the memory required by a factor of 13 in the geometric mean on our test problems, and also outperform the offline Greedy algorithm in running time.

A Mechanized First-Order Theory of Algebraic Data Types with Pattern Matching

Authors: Joshua M. Cohen

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

Abstract
Algebraic data types (ADTs) and pattern matching are widely used to write elegant functional programs and to specify program behavior. These constructs are critical to most general-purpose interactive theorem provers (e.g. Lean, Rocq/Coq), first-order SMT-based deductive verifiers (e.g. Dafny, VeriFast), and intermediate verification languages (e.g. Why3). Such features require layers of compilation - in Rocq, pattern matches are compiled to remove nesting, while SMT-based tools further axiomatize ADTs with a first-order specification. However, these critical steps have been omitted from prior formalizations of such toolchains (e.g. MetaRocq). We give the first proved-sound sophisticated pattern matching compiler (based on Maranget’s compilation to decision trees) and first-order axiomatization of ADTs, both based on Why3 implementations. We prove the soundness of exhaustiveness checking, extending pen-and-paper proofs from the literature, and formulate a robustness property with which we find an exhaustiveness-related bug in Why3. We show that many of our proofs could be useful for reasoning about any first-order program verifier supporting ADTs.

QSETH Strikes Again: Finer Quantum Lower Bounds for Lattice Problem, Strong Simulation, Hitting Set Problem, and More

Authors: Yanlin Chen, Yilei Chen, Rajendra Kumar, Subhasree Patro, and Florian Speelman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract
Despite the wide range of problems for which quantum computers offer a computational advantage over their classical counterparts, there are also many problems for which the best known quantum algorithm provides a speedup that is only quadratic, or even subquadratic. Such a situation could also be desirable if we don't want quantum computers to solve certain problems fast - say problems relevant to post-quantum cryptography. When searching for algorithms and when analyzing the security of cryptographic schemes, we would like to have evidence that these problems are difficult to solve on quantum computers; but how do we assess the exact complexity of these problems? For most problems, there are no known ways to directly prove time lower bounds, however it can still be possible to relate the hardness of disparate problems to show conditional lower bounds. This approach has been popular in the classical community, and is being actively developed for the quantum case [Aaronson et al., 2020; Buhrman et al., 2021; Harry Buhrman et al., 2022; Andris Ambainis et al., 2022]. In this paper, by the use of the QSETH framework [Buhrman et al., 2021] we are able to understand the quantum complexity of a few natural variants of CNFSAT, such as parity-CNFSAT or counting-CNFSAT, and also are able to comment on the non-trivial complexity of approximate versions of counting-CNFSAT. Without considering such variants, the best quantum lower bounds will always be quadratically lower than the equivalent classical bounds, because of Grover’s algorithm; however, we are able to show that quantum algorithms will likely not attain even a quadratic speedup for many problems. These results have implications for the complexity of (variations of) lattice problems, the strong simulation and hitting set problems, and more. In the process, we explore the QSETH framework in greater detail and present a useful guide on how to effectively use the QSETH framework.

Uniformity Testing When You Have the Source Code

Authors: Clément L. Canonne, Robin Kothari, and Ryan O'Donnell

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 350, 20th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2025)

Abstract
We study quantum algorithms for verifying properties of the output probability distribution of a classical or quantum circuit, given access to the source code that generates the distribution. We consider the basic task of uniformity testing, which is to decide if the output distribution is uniform on [d] or ε-far from uniform in total variation distance. More generally, we consider identity testing, which is the task of deciding if the output distribution equals a known hypothesis distribution, or is ε-far from it. For both problems, the previous best known upper bound was O(min{d^{1/3}/ε²,d^{1/2}/ε}). Here we improve the upper bound to O(min{d^{1/3}/ε^{4/3}, d^{1/2}/ε}), which we conjecture is optimal.

How to Compute the Volume in Low Dimension?

Authors: Arjan Cornelissen, Simon Apers, and Sander Gribling

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

Abstract
Estimating the volume of a convex body is a canonical problem in theoretical computer science. Its study has led to major advances in randomized algorithms, Markov chain theory, and computational geometry. In particular, determining the query complexity of volume estimation to a membership oracle has been a longstanding open question. Most of the previous work focuses on the high-dimensional limit. In this work, we tightly characterize the deterministic, randomized and quantum query complexity of this problem in the high-precision limit, i.e., when the dimension is constant.

Tree Algebras and Bisimulation-Invariant MSO on Finite Graphs

Authors: Thomas Colcombet, Amina Doumane, and Denis Kuperberg

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

Abstract
We establish that the bisimulation invariant fragment of MSO over finite transition systems is expressively equivalent over finite transition systems to modal μ-calculus, a question that had remained open for several decades. The proof goes by translating the question to an algebraic framework, and showing that the languages of regular trees that are recognised by finitary tree algebras whose sorts zero and one are finite are the regular ones. This corresponds for trees to a weak form of the key translation of Wilke algebras to omega-semigroup over infinite words, and was also a missing piece in the algebraic theory of regular languages of infinite trees for twenty years.

Knowledge Graphs for the Life Sciences: Recent Developments, Challenges and Opportunities

Authors: Jiaoyan Chen, Hang Dong, Janna Hastings, Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz, Vanessa López, Pierre Monnin, Catia Pesquita, Petr Škoda, and Valentina Tamma

Abstract
The term life sciences refers to the disciplines that study living organisms and life processes, and include chemistry, biology, medicine, and a range of other related disciplines. Research efforts in life sciences are heavily data-driven, as they produce and consume vast amounts of scientific data, much of which is intrinsically relational and graph-structured. The volume of data and the complexity of scientific concepts and relations referred to therein promote the application of advanced knowledge-driven technologies for managing and interpreting data, with the ultimate aim to advance scientific discovery. In this survey and position paper, we discuss recent developments and advances in the use of graph-based technologies in life sciences and set out a vision for how these technologies will impact these fields into the future. We focus on three broad topics: the construction and management of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), the use of KGs and associated technologies in the discovery of new knowledge, and the use of KGs in artificial intelligence applications to support explanations (explainable AI). We select a few exemplary use cases for each topic, discuss the challenges and open research questions within these topics, and conclude with a perspective and outlook that summarizes the overarching challenges and their potential solutions as a guide for future research.

Abstract
While Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have long been used as valuable sources of structured knowledge, in recent years, KG embeddings have become a popular way of deriving numeric vector representations from them, for instance, to support knowledge graph completion and similarity search. This study surveys advances as well as open challenges and opportunities in this area. For instance, the most prominent embedding models focus primarily on structural information. However, there has been notable progress in incorporating further aspects, such as semantics, multi-modal, temporal, and multilingual features. Most embedding techniques are assessed using human-curated benchmark datasets for the task of link prediction, neglecting other important real-world KG applications. Many approaches assume a static knowledge graph and are unable to account for dynamic changes. Additionally, KG embeddings may encode data biases and lack interpretability. Overall, this study provides an overview of promising research avenues to learn improved KG embeddings that can address a more diverse range of use cases.

Bisimulation Invariant Monadic-Second Order Logic in the Finite

Authors: Achim Blumensath and Felix Wolf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 107, 45th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2018)

Abstract
We consider bisimulation-invariant monadic second-order logic over various classes of finite transition systems. We present several combinatorial characterisations of when the expressive power of this fragment coincides with that of the modal mu-calculus. Using these characterisations we prove for some simple classes of transition systems that this is indeed the case. In particular, we show that, over the class of all finite transition systems with Cantor-Bendixson rank at most k, bisimulation-invariant MSO coincides with L_mu.

A Survey on Static Cache Analysis for Real-Time Systems

Authors: Mingsong Lv, Nan Guan, Jan Reineke, Reinhard Wilhelm, and Wang Yi

Published in: LITES, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2016). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 3, Issue 1

Abstract
Real-time systems are reactive computer systems that must produce their reaction to a stimulus within given time bounds. A vital verification requirement is to estimate the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of programs. These estimates are then used to predict the timing behavior of the overall system. The execution time of a program heavily depends on the underlying hardware, among which cache has the biggest influence. Analyzing cache behavior is very challenging due to the versatile cache features and complex execution environment. This article provides a survey on static cache analysis for real-time systems. We first present the challenges and static analysis techniques for independent programs with respect to different cache features. Then, the discussion is extended to cache analysis in complex execution environment, followed by a survey of existing tools based on static techniques for cache analysis. An outlook for future research is provided at last.

Holistic Hardware Counter Performance Analysis of Parallel Programs

Authors: Brian J. N. Wylie, Bernd Mohr, and Felix Wolf

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5501, Automatic Performance Analysis (2006)

Abstract
The KOJAK toolkit has been augmented with refined hardware performance counter support, including more convenient measurement specification, additional metric derivations and hierarchical structuring, and an extended algebra for integrating multiple experiments. Comprehensive automated analysis of a hybrid OpenMP/MPI parallel program, the ASC Purple sPPM benchmark, is demonstrated with performance experiments on equisized POWER4-II-based IBM Regatta p690+ cluster, Opteron-based Cray XD1 cluster and UltraSPARC-IV-based Sun Fire E25000 systems. Automatically assessed communication and synchronisation performance properties, combined with a rich set of measured and derived counter metrics, provide a holistic analysis context and facilitate multi-platform comparison.
