Graph Threading

Authors: Erik D. Demaine, Yael Kirkpatrick, and Rebecca Lin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 287, 15th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2024)

Abstract
Inspired by artistic practices such as beadwork and himmeli, we study the problem of threading a single string through a set of tubes, so that pulling the string forms a desired graph. More precisely, given a connected graph (where edges represent tubes and vertices represent junctions where they meet), we give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a minimum-length closed walk (representing a threading of string) that induces a connected graph of string at every junction. The algorithm is based on a surprising reduction to minimum-weight perfect matching. Along the way, we give tight worst-case bounds on the length of the optimal threading and on the maximum number of times this threading can visit a single edge. We also give more efficient solutions to two special cases: cubic graphs and the case when each edge can be visited at most twice.

Listing, Verifying and Counting Lowest Common Ancestors in DAGs: Algorithms and Fine-Grained Lower Bounds

Authors: Surya Mathialagan, Virginia Vassilevska Williams, and Yinzhan Xu

Abstract
The AP-LCA problem asks, given an n-node directed acyclic graph (DAG), to compute for every pair of vertices u and v in the DAG a lowest common ancestor (LCA) of u and v if one exists, i.e. a node that is an ancestor of both u and v but no proper descendent of it is their common ancestor. Recently [Grandoni et al. SODA'21] obtained the first sub-n^{2.5} time algorithm for AP-LCA running in O(n^{2.447}) time. Meanwhile, the only known conditional lower bound for AP-LCA is that the problem requires n^{ω-o(1)} time where ω is the matrix multiplication exponent. In this paper we study several interesting variants of AP-LCA, providing both algorithms and fine-grained lower bounds for them. The lower bounds we obtain are the first conditional lower bounds for LCA problems higher than n^{ω-o(1)}. Some of our results include: - In any DAG, we can detect all vertex pairs that have at most two LCAs and list all of their LCAs in O(n^ω) time. This algorithm extends a result of [Kowaluk and Lingas ESA'07] which showed an Õ(n^ω) time algorithm that detects all pairs with a unique LCA in a DAG and outputs their corresponding LCAs. - Listing 7 LCAs per vertex pair in DAGs requires n^{3-o(1)} time under the popular assumption that 3-uniform 5-hyperclique detection requires n^{5-o(1)} time. This is surprising since essentially cubic time is sufficient to list all LCAs (if ω = 2). - Counting the number of LCAs for every vertex pair in a DAG requires n^{3-o(1)} time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis, and n^{ω(1,2,1)-o(1)} time under the 4-Clique hypothesis. This shows that the algorithm of [Echkardt, Mühling and Nowak ESA'07] for listing all LCAs for every pair of vertices is likely optimal. - Given a DAG and a vertex w_{u,v} for every vertex pair u,v, verifying whether all w_{u,v} are valid LCAs requires n^{2.5-o(1)} time assuming 3-uniform 4-hyperclique requires n^{4-o(1)} time. This defies the common intuition that verification is easier than computation since returning some LCA per vertex pair can be solved in O(n^{2.447}) time.
