On the Fragile Complexity of Geometric Algorithms

Authors: Boris Aronov, Mayank Goswami, John Iacono, and Indu Ramesh

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

Abstract
Surprisingly, the question of bounding the maximum number of operations undergone by each individual element in an algorithm - known as the fragile complexity of the algorithm - has not received much attention. In a foundational paper, Afshani et al. (2019) developed the concept of fragility and explored classic problems such as sorting and selection from this perspective. Motivated by a suggestion for future research by Afshani et al., we initiate a study of fragile complexity in computational geometry. We obtain bounds on several time-honored questions in 2D such as computing the maxima, closest pair, convex hull, triangulation, and approximate Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree (apx-EMST). Our algorithms for the maxima, convex hull, and triangulation problems are competitive with the classical algorithms in terms of worst-case runtime and guarantee polylogarithmic fragility. We present an O(nlog²n) time algorithm that returns a 1.0125-apx-EMST and achieves O(log² n) fragility, thus matching the best known performance up to polylogarithmic factors.

The Spanning Ratio of the Directed Θ₆-Graph Is 5

Authors: Prosenjit Bose, Jean-Lou De Carufel, John Stuart, and Darryl Hill

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

Abstract
Given a finite set P ⊂ ℝ², the directed Theta-6 graph, denoted Θ₆(P), is a well-studied geometric graph due to its close relationship with the Delaunay triangulation. The Θ₆(P)-graph is defined as follows: the plane around each point u ∈ P is partitioned into 6 equiangular cones with apex u, and in each cone, u is joined to the point whose projection on the bisector of the cone is closest. Equivalently, the Θ₆(P)-graph contains an edge from u to v exactly when the interior of ∇_u^v is disjoint from P, where ∇_u^v is the unique equilateral triangle containing u on a corner, v on the opposite side, and whose sides are parallel to the cone boundaries. It was previously shown that the spanning ratio of the Θ₆(P)-graph is between 4 and 7 in the worst case (Akitaya, Biniaz, and Bose Comput. Geom., 105-106:101881, 2022). We close this gap by showing a tight spanning ratio of 5. This is the first tight bound proven for the spanning ratio of any Θ_k(P)-graph. Our lower bound models a long path by mapping it to a converging series. Our upper bound proof uses techniques novel to the area of spanners. We use linear programming to prove that among several candidate paths, there exists a path satisfying our bound.

Euclidean Noncrossing Steiner Spanners of Nearly Optimal Sparsity

Authors: Sujoy Bhore, Sándor Kisfaludi‑Bak, Lazar Milenković, Csaba D. Tóth, Karol Węgrzycki, and Sampson Wong

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

Abstract
A Euclidean noncrossing Steiner (1+ε)-spanner for a point set P ⊂ ℝ² is a planar straight-line graph that, for any two points a, b ∈ P, contains a path whose length is at most 1+ε times the Euclidean distance between a and b. We construct a Euclidean noncrossing Steiner (1+ε)-spanner with O(n/ε^{3/2}) edges for any set of n points in the plane. This result improves upon the previous best upper bound of O(n/ε⁴) obtained nearly three decades ago. We also establish an almost matching lower bound: There exist n points in the plane for which any Euclidean noncrossing Steiner (1+ε)-spanner has Ω_μ(n/ε^{3/2-μ}) edges for any μ > 0. Our lower bound uses recent generalizations of the Szemerédi-Trotter theorem to disk-tube incidences in geometric measure theory.

Tree-Like Shortcuttings of Trees

Authors: Hung Le, Lazar Milenković, Shay Solomon, and Cuong Than

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

Abstract
Sparse shortcuttings of trees - equivalently, sparse 1-spanners for tree metrics with bounded hop-diameter - have been studied extensively (under different names and settings), since the pioneering works of [Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, 1982; Chazelle, 1987; Noga Alon and Baruch Schieber, 1987; Hans L. Bodlaender et al., 1994], initially motivated by applications to range queries, online tree product, and MST verification, to name a few. These constructions were also lifted from trees to other graph families using known low-distortion embedding results. The works of [Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, 1982; Chazelle, 1987; Noga Alon and Baruch Schieber, 1987; Hans L. Bodlaender et al., 1994] establish a tight tradeoff between hop-diameter and sparsity (or average degree) for tree shortcuttings and imply constant-hop shortcuttings for n-node trees with sparsity O(log^* n). Despite their small sparsity, all known constant-hop shortcuttings contain dense subgraphs (of sparsity Ω(log n)), which is a significant drawback for many applications. We initiate a systematic study of constant-hop tree shortcuttings that are "tree-like". We focus on two well-studied graph parameters that measure how far a graph is from a tree: arboricity and treewidth. Our contribution is twofold. - New upper and lower bounds for tree-like shortcuttings of trees, including an optimal tradeoff between hop-diameter and treewidth for all hop-diameter up to O(log log n). We also provide a lower bound for larger values of k, which together yield hop-diameter× treewidth = Ω((log log n)²) for all values of hop-diameter, resolving an open question of [Arnold Filtser and Hung Le, 2022; H. Le, 2023]. - Applications of these bounds, focusing on low-dimensional Euclidean and doubling metrics. A seminal work of Arya et al. [S. Arya et al., 1995] presented a (1+ε)-spanner with constant hop-diameter and sparsity O(log^* n), but with large arboricity. We show that constant hop-diameter is sufficient to achieve arboricity O(log^*{n}). Furthermore, we present a (1+ε)-stretch routing scheme in the fixed-port model with 3 hops and a local memory of O(log²n / log log n) bits, resolving an open question of [Omri Kahalon et al., 2022].

Approximating Convex Hulls via Range Queries

Authors: Thomas Schibler, Jie Xue, and Jiumu Zhu

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

Abstract
Recently, motivated by the rapid increase of the data size in various applications, Monemizadeh [APPROX'23] and Driemel, Monemizadeh, Oh, Staals, and Woodruff [SoCG'25] studied geometric problems in the setting where the only access to the input point set is via querying a range-search oracle. Algorithms in this setting are evaluated on two criteria: (i) the number of queries to the oracle and (ii) the error of the output. In this paper, we continue this line of research and investigate one of the most fundamental geometric problems in the oracle setting, i.e., the convex hull problem. Let P be an unknown set of points in [0,1]^d equipped with a range-emptiness oracle. Via querying the oracle, the algorithm is supposed to output a convex polygon C ⊆ [0,1]^d as an estimation of the convex hull CH(P) of P. The error of the output is defined as the volume of the symmetric difference C ⊕ CH(P) = (C∖CH(P)) ∪ (CH(P)∖C). We prove tight and near-tight tradeoffs between the number of queries and the error of the output for different variants of the problem, depending on the type of the range-emptiness queries and whether the queries are non-adaptive or adaptive. - Orthogonal emptiness queries in d-dimensional space: We show that the minimum error a deterministic algorithm can achieve with q queries is Θ(q^{-1/d}) if the queries are non-adaptive, and Θ(q^{-1/(d-1)}) if the queries are adaptive. In particular, in 2D, the bounds are Θ(1/√q) and Θ(1/q) for non-adaptive and adaptive queries, respectively. - Halfplane emptiness queries in 2D: We show that the minimum error a deterministic algorithm can achieve with q queries is Θ(1/√q) if the queries are non-adaptive, and Θ̃(1/q²) if the queries are adaptive. Here Θ̃(⋅) hides logarithmic factors.

Proximity Alert: Ipelets for Neighborhood Graphs and Clustering (Media Exposition)

Authors: Gitan Balogh, June Cagan, Bea Fatima, Auguste H. Gezalyan, Danesh Sivakumar, Arushi Srinivasan, Yixuan Sun, Vahe Zaprosyan, and David M. Mount

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

Abstract
Neighborhood graphs and clustering algorithms are fundamental structures in both computational geometry and data analysis. Visualizing them can help build insight into their behavior and properties. The Ipe extensible drawing editor, developed by Otfried Cheong, is a widely used software system for generating figures. One particular aspect of Ipe is the ability to add Ipelets, which extend its functionality. Here we showcase a set of Ipelets designed to help visualize neighborhood graphs and clustering algorithms. These include: ε-neighbor graphs, furthest-neighbor graphs, Gabriel graphs, k-nearest neighbor graphs, k-th-nearest neighbor graphs, k-mutual neighbor graphs, k-th-mutual neighbor graphs, asymmetric k-nearest neighbor graphs, asymmetric k-th-nearest neighbor graphs, relative-neighbor graphs, sphere-of-influence graphs, Urquhart graphs, Yao graphs, and clustering algorithms including complete-linkage, DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, k-means, k-means++, k-medoids, mean shift, and single-linkage. Our Ipelets are all programmed in Lua and are freely available.

Integrated Memory Grouping and Power-Aware MBIST Scheduling for MPSoCs

Authors: Koki Asahina and Yasuhiko Nakashima

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)

Abstract
Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST) is a widely adopted technique for testing memory. In modern large-scale SoCs, hundreds to thousands of embedded memories are integrated, and to test them efficiently, methods that group memories and test them in parallel within each group are employed. However, many existing approaches either do not account for test scheduling or rely on evolutionary methods, such as genetic algorithms (GAs), for grouping, which incur high computational costs. In this work, we propose a framework that covers the flow from memory grouping to test scheduling. Taking the specifications and layout information of multiple SRAMs into account, the framework comprises a flexible, fast memory grouping method and a scheduling method that minimizes the total test time under a power-constrained constraint. In the proposed approach, DBSCAN and rectangular partitioning are used to perform fast grouping while suppressing long routing connections, and an LPT-based greedy heuristic is employed to shorten the total test time under constraints on the power limit and the number of simultaneously active BIST controllers. Experimental evaluation using SRAM placement data based on the ASAP7 PDK shows that, compared with existing K-means, Greedy, and GA-based methods, the proposed method reduces the number of groups by up to 48% while achieving approximately 87× speedup in clustering runtime. Furthermore, compared with a commercial Industrial Solution, it reduces the test time by 53%. These results demonstrate that the proposed method provides high scalability and practical effectiveness for MBIST design, even in large-scale MPSoCs with a large number and variety of embedded memories.

The Communication Complexity of Combinatorial Auctions in Graphs

Authors: George Christodoulou, Elias Koutsoupias, Annamária Kovács, and Ioannis Vlachos

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

Abstract
We study truthful and non-truthful protocols for combinatorial auctions in which every item can be allocated to one of two agents (multigraphs), or more generally to a fixed number of agents (hypergraphs). We show some tight - both positive and impossibility - results for the communication complexity of approximating the optimal social welfare for general monotone, subadditive, or XOS valuations.

Unit Interval Selection in Random Order Streams

Authors: Cezar-Mihail Alexandru, Adithya Diddapur, Magnús M. Halldórsson, Christian Konrad, and Kheeran K. Naidu

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

Abstract
We consider the Unit Interval Selection problem in the one-pass random order streaming model. In this setting, an algorithm is presented with a sequence of n unit-length intervals on the line that arrive in uniform random order, one at a time, and the objective is to output (an approximation of) a largest set of disjoint intervals using space linear in the size of an optimal solution. Previous work only considered adversarially ordered streams and established that, within these space constraints, a (2/3)-approximation can be achieved in such streams, and this is best possible, in that going beyond such an approximation factor requires space Ω(n) [Emek et al., TALG'16]. In this work, we show that an improved expected approximation factor can be achieved if the input stream is in uniform random order, where the expectation is taken over the stream order. More specifically, we give a one-pass streaming algorithm with expected approximation factor 0.7401 that uses space O(|OPT|), where OPT denotes an optimal solution. We also show that random order algorithms with expected approximation factor above 8/9 require space Ω(n), and algorithms that compute a better than 2/3-approximation with probability above 2/3 also require Ω(n) space. On a technical level, we design an algorithm for the restricted domain [0, Δ), for some constant Δ, and use standard techniques to obtain an algorithm for unrestricted domains. For the restricted domain [0, Δ), we run O(Δ) recursive instances of our algorithm, with each instance targeting the situation where a specific interval of an optimal solution arrives first. We establish the interesting property of our algorithm that it performs worst when the input stream consists solely of a set of independent intervals. It then remains to analyse the algorithm on these simple instances. Our lower bound is proved via communication complexity arguments, similar in spirit to the robust communication lower bounds established by [Chakrabarti et al., Theory Comput. 2016].

An Unholy Trinity: TFNP, Polynomial Systems, and the Quantum Satisfiability Problem

Authors: Marco Aldi, Sevag Gharibian, and Dorian Rudolph

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

Abstract
The theory of Total Function NP (TFNP) and its subclasses says that, even if one is promised an efficiently verifiable proof exists for a problem, finding this proof can be intractable. Despite the success of the theory at showing intractability of problems such as computing Brouwer fixed points and Nash equilibria, subclasses of TFNP remain arguably few and far between. In this work, we define two new subclasses of TFNP borne of the study of complex polynomial systems: Multi-homogeneous Systems (MHS) and Sparse Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (SFTA). The first of these is based on Bézout’s theorem from algebraic geometry, marking the first TFNP subclass based on an algebraic geometric principle. At the heart of our study is the computational problem known as Quantum SAT (QSAT) with a System of Distinct Representatives (SDR), first studied by [Laumann, Läuchli, Moessner, Scardicchio, and Sondhi 2010]. Among other results, we show that QSAT with SDR is MHS-complete, thus giving not only the first link between quantum complexity theory and TFNP, but also the first TFNP problem whose classical variant (SAT with SDR) is easy but whose quantum variant is hard. We also show how to embed the roots of a sparse, high-degree, univariate polynomial into QSAT with SDR, obtaining that SFTA is contained in a zero-error version of MHS. We conjecture this construction also works in the low-error setting, which would imply SFTA ⊆ MHS.

Lower Bounds on FSS from Dynamic Data Structures

Authors: Niv Gilboa and Daniel Weber

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

Abstract
In Function Secret Sharing (FSS), a dealer with a given function f: {0,1}ⁿ → 𝔾 from n bits to a commutative group 𝔾 such that f is in a function class ℱ shares succinct keys with two properties. Evaluating each key separately on a common input x results in additive shares of f(x) and any subset of the keys does not provide information on f. Two-party FSS schemes which are reducible to One-way Functions (OWF) have applications in cryptography, complexity, and in practical data security systems. We establish a two-way transformation between a two-party FSS scheme for a function class ℱ, which is black-box reducible to an OWF, or even black-box reducible to a family of Pseudo-Random Functions (PRF) and a dynamic data structure that supports range queries on ℱ. A data structure of this type enables dynamically adding functions to a multiset of functions F ⊆ ℱ, and answering range queries on the output of F, i.e., returning ∑_{f ∈ F} f(x) for a query x. The data structures are defined in one of several models which abstract RAM. The correspondence together with known lower bounds on the update time and the query time in data structures leads to the first non-trivial lower bounds on FSS schemes which are black-box reducible to PRF. These lower bounds apply to FSS schemes with polynomial key size and include: - For ℱ^d_{box}, the class of all functions which assign a constant group element β ∈ 𝔾 to any input in a specified d-dimensional box and 0 to all other inputs: if the key sharing function, Gen, runs in time polynomial in n and the evaluation function is Eval then: - If d ≥ 2 and 𝔾 = ℤ₂ then Eval’s running time is Ω ((n^{3/2})/(log³ n)). - If d ≥ 2 and 𝔾 is cyclic such that log |𝔾| = (1 + ε) n then Eval’s running time is Ω ((n/(log n)) ²). - If d > 2 is a constant and further, Gen and Eval correspond to operations on data structures in the Oblivious Group Model (this includes all known FSS from OWF techniques), then the product of Eval’s time and the key size is Ω(n^{d-1}). - For ℱ_{mono}, the class of all monomials ax^b ∈ 𝔽_{2ⁿ}[X] such that b ≤ B, assuming n^{ω(1)} ≤ B ≤ 2^{n/4}: if Gen runs in polynomial time, then Eval’s running time is Ω ((n √{log B})/(log² n)).

Characterizing Off-Chain Influence Proof Transaction Fee Mechanisms

Authors: Aadityan Ganesh, Clayton Thomas, and S. Matthew Weinberg

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

Abstract
Roughgarden [Roughgarden, 2020] initiates the study of Transaction Fee Mechanisms (TFMs), and posits that the on-chain game of a "good" TFM should be on-chain simple (OnC-S), i.e., incentive compatible for both the users and the miner. Recent work of Ganesh, Thomas an Weinberg [Ganesh et al., 2024] posit that they should additionally be Off-Chain Influence-Proof (OffC-IP), which means that the miner cannot achieve any additional revenue by separately conducting an off-chain auction to determine on-chain inclusion. They observe that a cryptographic second-price auction satisfies both properties, but leave open the question of whether other mechanisms (such as those not dependent on cryptography) satisfy these properties. In this paper, we characterize OffC-IP TFMs: They are those satisfying a burn identity relating the burn rule to the allocation rule. In particular, we show that auction is OffC-IP if and only if its (induced direct-revelation) allocation rule X̄(⋅) and burn rule B̅(⋅) (both of which take as input users' values v₁, … , v_n) are truthful when viewing (X̄(⋅), B̅(⋅)) as the allocation and pricing rule of a multi-item auction for a single additive buyer with values (φ(v₁),…, φ(v_n)) equal to the users' virtual values. Building on this burn identity, we characterize OffC-IP and OnC-S TFMs that are deterministic and do not use cryptography: They are posted-price mechanisms with specially-tuned burns. As a corollary, we show that such TFMs can only exist with infinite supply and prior-dependence. However, we show that for randomized TFMs, there are additional OnC-S and OffC-IP auctions that do not use cryptography (even when there is {finite} supply, under prior-dependence with a bounded prior distribution). Holistically, our results show that while OffC-IP is a fairly stringent requirement, families of OffC-IP mechanisms can be found for a variety of settings.

Hardness of Range Avoidance and Proof Complexity Generators from Demi-Bits

Authors: Hanlin Ren, Yichuan Wang, and Yan Zhong

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

Abstract
Given a circuit G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m with m > n, the range avoidance problem (Avoid) asks to output a string y ∈ {0, 1}^m that is not in the range of G. Besides its profound connection to circuit complexity and explicit construction problems, this problem is also related to the existence of proof complexity generators - circuits G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m where m > n but for every y ∈ {0, 1}^m, it is infeasible to prove the statement "y ̸ ∈ Range(G)" in a given propositional proof system. This paper connects these two problems with the existence of demi-bits generators, a fundamental cryptographic primitive against nondeterministic adversaries introduced by Rudich (RANDOM '97). - We show that the existence of demi-bits generators implies Avoid is hard for nondeterministic algorithms. This resolves an open problem raised by Chen and Li (STOC '24). Furthermore, assuming the demi-hardness of certain LPN-style generators or Goldreich’s PRG, we prove the hardness of Avoid even when the instances are constant-degree polynomials over 𝔽₂. - We show that the dual weak pigeonhole principle is unprovable in Cook’s theory PV₁ under the existence of demi-bits generators secure against AM/_{O(1)}, thereby separating Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ from PV₁. Previously, Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) obtained the same separation under different (and arguably stronger) cryptographic assumptions. - We transform demi-bits generators to proof complexity generators that are pseudo-surjective in certain parameter regime. Pseudo-surjectivity is the strongest form of hardness considered in the literature for proof complexity generators. Our constructions are inspired by the recent breakthroughs on the hardness of Avoid by Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) and Chen and Li (STOC '24). We use randomness extractors to significantly simplify the construction and the proof.

Linear Time Encodable Binary Code Achieving GV Bound with Linear Time Encodable Dual Achieving GV Bound

Authors: Martijn Brehm and Nicolas Resch

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

Abstract
We initiate the study of what we term "fast good codes" with "fast good duals." Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a binary linear code C ≤ 𝔽₂ⁿ such that both it and its dual C^⟂ : = {x ∈ 𝔽₂ⁿ:∀ c ∈ C, ⟨ x,c⟩ = 0} are asymptotically good (in fact, have rate-distance tradeoff approaching the GV bound), and are encodable in O(n) time. While we believe such codes should find applications more broadly, as motivation we describe how such codes can be used the secure computation task of encrypted matrix-vector product, as studied by Behhamouda et al (CCS 2025). Our main contribution is a construction of such a fast good code with fast good dual. Our construction is inspired by the repeat multiple accumulate (RMA) codes of Divsalar, Jin and McEliece (Allerton, 1998). To create the rate 1/2 code, after repeating each message coordinate, we perform accumulation steps - where first a uniform coordinate permutation is applied, and afterwards the prefix-sum modulo 2 is applied - which are alternated with discrete derivative steps - where again a uniform coordinate permutation is applied, and afterwards the previous two coordinates are summed modulo 2. Importantly, these two operations are inverse of each other. In particular, the dual of the code is very similar, with the accumulation and discrete derivative steps reversed. Our analysis is inspired by a prior analysis of RMA codes due to Ravazzi and Fagnani (IEEE Trans. Info. Theory, 2009). The main idea is to bound the input-output weight-enumerator function: the expected number of messages of a given weight that are encoded into a codeword of a given weight. We face new challenges in controlling the behaviour of the discrete derivative matrix (which can significantly drop the weight of a vector), which we overcome by careful case analysis.

One-Way Functions and Boundary Hardness of Randomized Time-Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity

Authors: Yanyi Liu and Rafael Pass

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

Abstract
We revisit the question of whether worst-case hardness of the time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity problem, MINK^{poly} - that is, determining whether a string is "structured" (i.e., K^t(x) < n-1) or "random" (i.e., K^{poly(t)} ≥ n-1) - suffices to imply the existence of one-way functions (OWF). Liu-Pass (CRYPTO'25) recently showed that worst-case hardness of a boundary version of MINK^{poly} - where, roughly speaking, the goal is to decide whether given an instance x, (a) x is K^poly-random (i.e., K^{poly(t)}(x) ≥ n-1), or just close to K^poly-random (i.e., K^{t}(x) < n-1 but K^{poly(t)} > n - log n) - characterizes OWF, but with either of the following caveats (1) considering a non-standard notion of probabilistic K^t, as opposed to the standard notion of K^t, or (2) assuming somewhat strong, and non-standard, derandomization assumptions. In this paper, we present an alternative method for establishing their result which enables significantly weakening the caveats. First, we show that boundary hardness of the more standard randomized K^t problem suffices (where randomized K^t(x) is defined just like K^t(x) except that the program generating the string x may be randomized). As a consequence of this result, we can provide a characterization also in terms of just "plain" K^t under the most standard derandomization assumption (used to derandomize just BPP into P) - namely E ̸ ⊆ ioSIZE[2^{o(n)}]. Our proof relies on language compression schemes of Goldberg-Sipser (STOC'85); using the same technique, we also present the the first worst-case to average-case reduction for the exact MINK^{poly} problem (under the same standard derandomization assumption), improving upon Hirahara’s celebrated results (STOC'18, STOC'21) that only applied to a gap version of the MINK^{poly} problem, referred to as GapMINK^{poly}, where the goal is to decide whether K^t(x) ≤ n-O(log n)) or K^{poly(t)}(x) ≥ n-1 and under the same derandomization assumption.
