Robustly Guarding Polygons

Authors: Rathish Das, Omrit Filtser, Matthew J. Katz, and Joseph S.B. Mitchell

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
We propose precise notions of what it means to guard a domain "robustly", under a variety of models. While approximation algorithms for minimizing the number of (precise) point guards in a polygon is a notoriously challenging area of investigation, we show that imposing various degrees of robustness on the notion of visibility coverage leads to a more tractable (and realistic) problem for which we can provide approximation algorithms with constant factor guarantees.

External-Memory Dictionaries with Worst-Case Update Cost

Authors: Rathish Das, John Iacono, and Yakov Nekrich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 248, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022)

Abstract
The B^ε-tree [Brodal and Fagerberg 2003] is a simple I/O-efficient external-memory-model data structure that supports updates orders of magnitude faster than B-tree with a query performance comparable to the B-tree: for any positive constant ε < 1 insertions and deletions take O(1/B^(1-ε) log_B N) time (rather than O(log_BN) time for the classic B-tree), queries take O(log_B N) time and range queries returning k items take O(log_B N + k/B) time. Although the B^ε-tree has an optimal update/query tradeoff, the runtimes are amortized. Another structure, the write-optimized skip list, introduced by Bender et al. [PODS 2017], has the same performance as the B^ε-tree but with runtimes that are randomized rather than amortized. In this paper, we present a variant of the B^ε-tree with deterministic worst-case running times that are identical to the original’s amortized running times.

Shortest Beer Path Queries in Interval Graphs

Authors: Rathish Das, Meng He, Eitan Kondratovsky, J. Ian Munro, Anurag Murty Naredla, and Kaiyu Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 248, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022)

Abstract
Our interest is in paths between pairs of vertices that go through at least one of a subset of the vertices known as beer vertices. Such a path is called a beer path, and the beer distance between two vertices is the length of the shortest beer path. We show that we can represent unweighted interval graphs using 2n log n + O(n) + O(|B|log n) bits where |B| is the number of beer vertices. This data structure answers beer distance queries in O(log^ε n) time for any constant ε > 0 and shortest beer path queries in O(log^ε n + d) time, where d is the beer distance between the two nodes. We also show that proper interval graphs may be represented using 3n + o(n) bits to support beer distance queries in O(f(n)log n) time for any f(n) ∈ ω(1) and shortest beer path queries in O(d) time. All of these results also have time-space trade-offs. Lastly we show that the information theoretic lower bound for beer proper interval graphs is very close to the space of our structure, namely log(4+2√3)n - o(n) (or about 2.9 n) bits.

When Are Cache-Oblivious Algorithms Cache Adaptive? A Case Study of Matrix Multiplication and Sorting

Authors: Arghya Bhattacharya, Abiyaz Chowdhury, Helen Xu, Rathish Das, Rezaul A. Chowdhury, Rob Johnson, Rishab Nithyanand, and Michael A. Bender

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

Abstract
Cache-adaptive algorithms are a class of algorithms that achieve optimal utilization of dynamically changing memory. These memory fluctuations are the norm in today’s multi-threaded shared-memory machines and time-sharing caches. Bender et al. [Bender et al., 2014] proved that many cache-oblivious algorithms are optimally cache-adaptive, but that some cache-oblivious algorithms can be relatively far from optimally cache-adaptive on worst-case memory fluctuations. This worst-case gap between cache obliviousness and cache adaptivity depends on a highly-structured, adversarial memory profile. Existing cache-adaptive analysis does not predict the relative performance of cache-oblivious and cache-adaptive algorithms on non-adversarial profiles. Does the worst-case gap appear in practice, or is it an artifact of an unrealistically powerful adversary? This paper sheds light on the question of whether cache-oblivious algorithms can effectively adapt to realistically fluctuating memory sizes; the paper focuses on matrix multiplication and sorting. The two matrix-multiplication algorithms in this paper are canonical examples of "(a, b, c)-regular" cache-oblivious algorithms, which underlie much of the existing theory on cache-adaptivity. Both algorithms have the same asymptotic I/O performance when the memory size remains fixed, but one is optimally cache-adaptive, and the other is not. In our experiments, we generate both adversarial and non-adversarial memory workloads. The performance gap between the algorithms for matrix multiplication grows with problem size (up to 3.8×) on the adversarial profiles, but the gap does not grow with problem size (stays at 2×) on non-adversarial profiles. The sorting algorithms in this paper are not "(a, b, c)-regular," but they have been well-studied in the classical external-memory model when the memory size does not fluctuate. The relative performance of a non-oblivious (cache-aware) sorting algorithm degrades with the problem size: it incurs up to 6 × the number of disk I/Os compared to an oblivious adaptive algorithm on both adversarial and non-adversarial profiles. To summarize, in all our experiments, the cache-oblivious matrix-multiplication and sorting algorithms that we tested empirically adapt well to memory fluctuations. We conjecture that cache-obliviousness will empirically help achieve adaptivity for other problems with similar structures.

Dynamic Boolean Formula Evaluation

Authors: Rathish Das, Andrea Lincoln, Jayson Lynch, and J. Ian Munro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract
We present a linear space data structure for Dynamic Evaluation of k-CNF Boolean Formulas which achieves O(m^{1-1/k}) query and variable update time where m is the number of clauses in the formula and clauses are of size at most a constant k. Our algorithm is additionally able to count the total number of satisfied clauses. We then show how this data structure can be parallelized in the PRAM model to achieve O(log m) span (i.e. parallel time) and still O(m^{1-1/k}) work. This parallel algorithm works in the stronger Binary Fork model. We then give a series of lower bounds on the problem including an average-case result showing the lower bounds hold even when the updates to the variables are chosen at random. Specifically, a reduction from k-Clique shows that dynamically counting the number of satisfied clauses takes time at least n^{(2ω-3)/6 √{2k} -1 -o(√k)}, where 2 ≤ ω < 2.38 is the matrix multiplication constant. We show the Combinatorial k-Clique Hypothesis implies a lower bound of m^{(1-k^{-1/2})(1-o(1))} which suggests our algorithm is close to optimal without involving Matrix Multiplication or new techniques. We next give an average-case reduction to k-clique showing the prior lower bounds hold even when the updates are chosen at random. We use our conditional lower bound to show any Binary Fork algorithm solving these problems requires at least Ω(log m) span, which is tight against our algorithm in this model. Finally, we give an unconditional linear space lower bound for Dynamic k-CNF Boolean Formula Evaluation.

Cutting Polygons into Small Pieces with Chords: Laser-Based Localization

Authors: Esther M. Arkin, Rathish Das, Jie Gao, Mayank Goswami, Joseph S. B. Mitchell, Valentin Polishchuk, and Csaba D. Tóth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)

Abstract
Motivated by indoor localization by tripwire lasers, we study the problem of cutting a polygon into small-size pieces, using the chords of the polygon. Several versions are considered, depending on the definition of the "size" of a piece. In particular, we consider the area, the diameter, and the radius of the largest inscribed circle as a measure of the size of a piece. We also consider different objectives, either minimizing the maximum size of a piece for a given number of chords, or minimizing the number of chords that achieve a given size threshold for the pieces. We give hardness results for polygons with holes and approximation algorithms for multiple variants of the problem.
