Abstract

Repetitiveness measures reveal profound characteristics of datasets, and give rise to compressed data structures and algorithms working in compressed space. Alas, the computation of some of these measures is NP-hard, and straight-forward computation is infeasible for datasets of even small sizes. Three such measures are the smallest size of a string attractor, the smallest size of a bidirectional macro scheme, and the smallest size of a straight-line program. While a vast variety of implementations for heuristically computing approximations exist, exact computation of these measures has received little to no attention. In this paper, we present MAX-SAT formulations that provide the first non-trivial implementations for exact computation of smallest string attractors, smallest bidirectional macro schemes, and smallest straight-line programs. Computational experiments show that our implementations work for texts of length up to a few hundred for straight-line programs and bidirectional macro schemes, and texts even over a million for string attractors.

Solving and Generating Nagareru Puzzles

Authors: Masakazu Ishihata and Fumiya Tokumasu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 233, 20th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2022)

Abstract

Solving paper-and-pencil puzzles is fun for people, and their analysis is also an essential issue in computational complexity theory. There are some practically efficient solvers for some NP-complete puzzles; however, the automatic generation of interesting puzzle instances still stands out as a complex problem because it requires checking whether the generated instance has a unique solution. In this paper, we focus on a puzzle called Nagareru and propose two methods: one is for implicitly enumerating all the solutions of its instance, and the other is for efficiently generating an instance with a unique solution. The former constructs a ZDD that implicitly represents all the solutions. The latter employs the ZDD-based solver as a building block to check the uniqueness of the solution of generated instances. We experimentally showed that the ZDD-based solver was drastically faster than a CSP-based solver, and our generation method created an interesting instance in a reasonable time.
