Counting Homomorphisms from Hypergraphs of Bounded Generalised Hypertree Width: A Logical Characterisation

Authors: Benjamin Scheidt and Nicole Schweikardt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 272, 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023)

Abstract
We introduce the 2-sorted counting logic GC^k and its restriction RGC^k that express properties of hypergraphs. These logics have available k variables to address hyperedges, an unbounded number of variables to address vertices of a hypergraph, and atomic formulas E(e,v) to express that a vertex v is contained in a hyperedge e. We show that two hypergraphs H,H' satisfy the same sentences of the logic RGC^k if, and only if, they are homomorphism indistinguishable over the class of hypergraphs of generalised hypertree width at most k. Here, H,H' are called homomorphism indistinguishable over a class 𝒞 if for every hypergraph G ∈ 𝒞 the number of homomorphisms from G to H equals the number of homomorphisms from G to H'. This result can be viewed as a lifting (from graphs to hypergraphs) of a result by Dvořák (2010) stating that any two (undirected, simple, finite) graphs H,H' are indistinguishable by the k+1-variable counting logic C^{k+1} if, and only if, they are homomorphism indistinguishable over the class of graphs of tree-width at most k.

GSF-Locality Is Not Sufficient For Proximity-Oblivious Testing

Authors: Isolde Adler, Noleen Köhler, and Pan Peng

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 200, 36th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2021)

Abstract
In Property Testing, proximity-oblivious testers (POTs) form a class of particularly simple testing algorithms, where a basic test is performed a number of times that may depend on the proximity parameter, but the basic test itself is independent of the proximity parameter. In their seminal work, Goldreich and Ron [STOC 2009; SICOMP 2011] show that the graph properties that allow constant-query proximity-oblivious testing in the bounded-degree model are precisely the properties that can be expressed as a generalised subgraph freeness (GSF) property that satisfies the non-propagation condition. It is left open whether the non-propagation condition is necessary. Indeed, calling properties expressible as a generalised subgraph freeness property GSF-local properties, they ask whether all GSF-local properties are non-propagating. We give a negative answer by exhibiting a property of graphs that is GSF-local and propagating. Hence in particular, our property does not admit a POT, despite being GSF-local. We prove our result by exploiting a recent work of the authors which constructed a first-order (FO) property that is not testable [SODA 2021], and a new connection between FO properties and GSF-local properties via neighbourhood profiles.

Faster Property Testers in a Variation of the Bounded Degree Model

Authors: Isolde Adler and Polly Fahey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 182, 40th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2020)

Abstract
Property testing algorithms are highly efficient algorithms, that come with probabilistic accuracy guarantees. For a property P, the goal is to distinguish inputs that have P from those that are far from having P with high probability correctly, by querying only a small number of local parts of the input. In property testing on graphs, the distance is measured by the number of edge modifications (additions or deletions), that are necessary to transform a graph into one with property P. Much research has focussed on the query complexity of such algorithms, i. e. the number of queries the algorithm makes to the input, but in view of applications, the running time of the algorithm is equally relevant. In (Adler, Harwath STACS 2018), a natural extension of the bounded degree graph model of property testing to relational databases of bounded degree was introduced, and it was shown that on databases of bounded degree and bounded tree-width, every property that is expressible in monadic second-order logic with counting (CMSO) is testable with constant query complexity and sublinear running time. It remains open whether this can be improved to constant running time. In this paper we introduce a new model, which is based on the bounded degree model, but the distance measure allows both edge (tuple) modifications and vertex (element) modifications. Our main theorem shows that on databases of bounded degree and bounded tree-width, every property that is expressible in CMSO is testable with constant query complexity and constant running time in the new model. We also show that every property that is testable in the classical model is testable in our model with the same query complexity and running time, but the converse is not true. We argue that our model is natural and our meta-theorem showing constant-time CMSO testability supports this.

Connected Search for a Lazy Robber

Authors: Isolde Adler, Christophe Paul, and Dimitrios M. Thilikos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)

Abstract
The node search game against a lazy (or, respectively, agile) invisible robber has been introduced as a search-game analogue of the treewidth parameter (and, respectively, pathwidth). In the connected variants of the above two games, we additionally demand that, at each moment of the search, the clean territories are connected. The connected search game against an agile and invisible robber has been extensively examined. The monotone variant (where we also demand that the clean territories are progressively increasing) of this game, corresponds to the graph parameter of connected pathwidth. It is known that the price of connectivty to search for an agile robber is bounded by 2, that is the connected pathwidth of a graph is at most twice (plus some constant) its pathwidth. In this paper, we investigate the connected search game against a lazy robber. A lazy robber moves only when the searchers' strategy threatens the location that he currently occupies. We introduce two alternative graph-theoretic formulations of this game, one in terms of connected tree decompositions, and one in terms of (connected) layouts, leading to the graph parameter of connected treewidth. We observe that connected treewidth parameter is closed under contractions and prove that for every k >= 2, the set of contraction obstructions of the class of graphs with connected treewidth at most k is infinite. Our main result is a complete characterization of the obstruction set for k=2. One may observe that, so far, only a few complete obstruction sets are explicitly known for contraction closed graph classes. We finally show that, in contrast to the agile robber game, the price of connectivity is unbounded.

Property Testing for Bounded Degree Databases

Authors: Isolde Adler and Frederik Harwath

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 96, 35th Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2018)

Abstract
Aiming at extremely efficient algorithms for big data sets, we introduce property testing of relational databases of bounded degree. Our model generalises the bounded degree model for graphs (Goldreich and Ron, STOC 1997). We prove that in this model, if the databases have bounded tree-width, then every query definable in monadic second-order logic with modulo counting is testable with a constant number of oracle queries and polylogarithmic running time. This is the first logical meta-theorem in property testing of sparse models. Furthermore, we discuss conditions for the existence of uniform and non-uniform testers.
