Parameterized Approximation for Maximum Weight Independent Set of Rectangles and Segments

Authors: Jana Cslovjecsek, Michał Pilipczuk, and Karol Węgrzycki

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
In the Maximum Weight Independent Set of Rectangles problem (MWISR) we are given a weighted set of n axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. The task is to find a subset of pairwise non-overlapping rectangles with the maximum possible total weight. This problem is NP-hard and the best-known polynomial-time approximation algorithm, due to Chalermsook and Walczak [SODA 2021], achieves approximation factor 𝒪(log log n). While in the unweighted setting, constant factor approximation algorithms are known, due to Mitchell [FOCS 2021] and to Gálvez et al. [SODA 2022], it remains open to extend these techniques to the weighted setting. In this paper, we consider MWISR through the lens of parameterized approximation. Grandoni, Kratsch and Wiese [ESA 2019] gave a (1-ε)-approximation algorithm running in k^{𝒪(k/ε⁸)} n^{𝒪(1/ε⁸)} time, where k is the number of rectangles in an optimum solution. Unfortunately, their algorithm works only in the unweighted setting and they left it as an open problem to give a parameterized approximation scheme in the weighted setting. We give a parameterized approximation algorithm for MWISR that given a parameter k ∈ ℕ, finds a set of non-overlapping rectangles of weight at least (1-ε) opt_k in 2^{𝒪(k log(k/ε))} n^{𝒪(1/ε)} time, where opt_k is the maximum weight of a solution of cardinality at most k. We also propose a parameterized approximation scheme with running time 2^{𝒪(k² log(k/ε))} n^{𝒪(1)} that finds a solution with cardinality at most k and total weight at least (1-ε)opt_k for the special case of axis-parallel segments.

An Algorithmic Meta Theorem for Homomorphism Indistinguishability

Authors: Tim Seppelt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)

Abstract
Two graphs G and H are homomorphism indistinguishable over a family of graphs ℱ if for all graphs F ∈ ℱ the number of homomorphisms from F to G is equal to the number of homomorphism from F to H. Many natural equivalence relations comparing graphs such as (quantum) isomorphism, cospectrality, and logical equivalences can be characterised as homomorphism indistinguishability relations over various graph classes. The wealth of such results motivates a more fundamental study of homomorphism indistinguishability. From a computational perspective, the central object of interest is the decision problem HomInd(ℱ) which asks to determine whether two input graphs G and H are homomorphism indistinguishable over a fixed graph class ℱ. The problem HomInd(ℱ) is known to be decidable only for few graph classes ℱ. Due to a conjecture by Roberson (2022) and results by Seppelt (MFCS 2023), homomorphism indistinguishability relations over minor-closed graph classes are of special interest. We show that HomInd(ℱ) admits a randomised polynomial-time algorithm for every minor-closed graph class ℱ of bounded treewidth. This result extends to a version of HomInd where the graph class ℱ is specified by a sentence in counting monadic second-order logic and a bound k on the treewidth, which are given as input. For fixed k, this problem is randomised fixed-parameter tractable. If k is part of the input, then it is coNP- and coW[1]-hard. Addressing a problem posed by Berkholz (2012), we show coNP-hardness by establishing that deciding indistinguishability under the k-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm is coNP-hard when k is part of the input.

Satsuma: Structure-Based Symmetry Breaking in SAT

Authors: Markus Anders, Sofia Brenner, and Gaurav Rattan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)

Abstract
Symmetry reduction is crucial for solving many interesting SAT instances in practice. Numerous approaches have been proposed, which try to strike a balance between symmetry reduction and computational overhead. Arguably the most readily applicable method is the computation of static symmetry breaking constraints: a constraint restricting the search-space to non-symmetrical solutions is added to a given SAT instance. A distinct advantage of static symmetry breaking is that the SAT solver itself is not modified. A disadvantage is that the strength of symmetry reduction is usually limited. In order to boost symmetry reduction, the state-of-the-art tool BreakID [Devriendt et. al] pioneered the identification and tailored breaking of a particular substructure of symmetries, the so-called row interchangeability groups. In this paper, we propose a new symmetry breaking tool called satsuma. The core principle of our tool is to exploit more diverse but frequently occurring symmetry structures. This is enabled by new practical detection algorithms for row interchangeability, row-column symmetry, Johnson symmetry, and various combinations. Based on the resulting structural description, we then produce symmetry breaking constraints. We compare this new approach to BreakID on a range of instance families exhibiting symmetry. Our benchmarks suggest improved symmetry reduction in the presence of Johnson symmetry and comparable performance in the presence of row-column symmetry. Moreover, our implementation runs significantly faster, even though it identifies more diverse structures.

Scalable Hard Instances for Independent Set Reconfiguration

Authors: Takehide Soh, Takumu Watanabe, Jun Kawahara, Akira Suzuki, and Takehiro Ito

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)

Abstract
The Token Jumping problem, also known as the independent set reconfiguration problem under the token jumping model, is defined as follows: Given a graph and two same-sized independent sets, determine whether one can be transformed into the other via a sequence of independent sets. Token Jumping has been extensively studied, mainly from the viewpoint of algorithmic theory, but its practical study has just begun. To develop a practically good solver, it is important to construct benchmark datasets that are scalable and hard. Here, "scalable" means the ability to change the scale of the instance while maintaining its characteristics by adjusting the given parameters; and "hard" means that the instance can become so difficult that it cannot be solved within a practical time frame by a solver. In this paper, we propose four types of instance series for Token Jumping. Our instance series is scalable in the sense that instance scales are controlled by the number of vertices. To establish their hardness, we focus on the numbers of transformation steps; our instance series requires exponential numbers of steps with respect to the number of vertices. Interestingly, three types of instance series are constructed by importing theories developed by algorithmic research. We experimentally evaluate the scalability and hardness of the proposed instance series, using the SAT solver and award-winning solvers of the international competition for Token Jumping.

Solution Discovery via Reconfiguration for Problems in P

Authors: Mario Grobler, Stephanie Maaz, Nicole Megow, Amer E. Mouawad, Vijayaragunathan Ramamoorthi, Daniel Schmand, and Sebastian Siebertz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
In the recently introduced framework of solution discovery via reconfiguration [Fellows et al., ECAI 2023], we are given an initial configuration of k tokens on a graph and the question is whether we can transform this configuration into a feasible solution (for some problem) via a bounded number b of small modification steps. In this work, we study solution discovery variants of polynomial-time solvable problems, namely Spanning Tree Discovery, Shortest Path Discovery, Matching Discovery, and Vertex/Edge Cut Discovery in the unrestricted token addition/removal model, the token jumping model, and the token sliding model. In the unrestricted token addition/removal model, we show that all four discovery variants remain in P. For the token jumping model we also prove containment in P, except for Vertex/Edge Cut Discovery, for which we prove NP-completeness. Finally, in the token sliding model, almost all considered problems become NP-complete, the exception being Spanning Tree Discovery, which remains polynomial-time solvable. We then study the parameterized complexity of the NP-complete problems and provide a full classification of tractability with respect to the parameters solution size (number of tokens) k and transformation budget (number of steps) b. Along the way, we observe strong connections between the solution discovery variants of our base problems and their (weighted) rainbow variants as well as their red-blue variants with cardinality constraints.

Optimal PSPACE-Hardness of Approximating Set Cover Reconfiguration

Authors: Shuichi Hirahara and Naoto Ohsaka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
In the Minmax Set Cover Reconfiguration problem, given a set system ℱ over a universe 𝒰 and its two covers 𝒞^start and 𝒞^goal of size k, we wish to transform 𝒞^start into 𝒞^goal by repeatedly adding or removing a single set of ℱ while covering the universe 𝒰 in any intermediate state. Then, the objective is to minimize the maximum size of any intermediate cover during transformation. We prove that Minmax Set Cover Reconfiguration and Minmax Dominating Set Reconfiguration are PSPACE-hard to approximate within a factor of 2-(1/polyloglog N), where N is the size of the universe and the number of vertices in a graph, respectively, improving upon Ohsaka (SODA 2024) [Ohsaka, 2024] and Karthik C. S. and Manurangsi (2023) [Karthik C. S. and Manurangsi, 2023]. This is the first result that exhibits a sharp threshold for the approximation factor of any reconfiguration problem because both problems admit a 2-factor approximation algorithm as per Ito, Demaine, Harvey, Papadimitriou, Sideri, Uehara, and Uno (Theor. Comput. Sci., 2011) [Takehiro Ito et al., 2011]. Our proof is based on a reconfiguration analogue of the FGLSS reduction [Feige et al., 1996] from Probabilistically Checkable Reconfiguration Proofs of Hirahara and Ohsaka (STOC 2024) [Hirahara and Ohsaka, 2024]. We also prove that for any constant ε ∈ (0,1), Minmax Hypergraph Vertex Cover Reconfiguration on poly(ε^-1)-uniform hypergraphs is PSPACE-hard to approximate within a factor of 2-ε.

Using Contracted Solution Graphs for Solving Reconfiguration Problems

Authors: Paul Bonsma and Daniël Paulusma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 58, 41st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2016)

Abstract
We introduce a dynamic programming method for solving reconfiguration problems, based on contracted solution graphs, which are obtained from solution graphs by performing an appropriate series of edge contractions that decrease the graph size without losing any critical information needed to solve the reconfiguration problem under consideration. As an example, we consider a well-studied problem: given two k-colorings alpha and beta of a graph G, can alpha be modified into beta by recoloring one vertex of G at a time, while maintaining a k-coloring throughout? By applying our method in combination with a thorough exploitation of the graph structure we obtain a polynomial-time algorithm for (k-2)-connected chordal graphs.

Rerouting shortest paths in planar graphs

Authors: Paul Bonsma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 18, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2012)

Abstract
A rerouting sequence is a sequence of shortest st-paths such that consecutive paths differ in one vertex. We study the Shortest Path Rerouting Problem, which asks, given two shortest st-paths P and Q in a graph G, whether a rerouting sequence exists from P to Q. This problem is PSPACE-hard in general, but we show that it can be solved in polynomial time if G is planar. To this end, we introduce a dynamic programming method for reconfiguration problems.

Surface Split Decompositions and Subgraph Isomorphism in Graphs on Surfaces

Authors: Paul Bonsma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 14, 29th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2012)

Abstract
The Subgraph Isomorphism problem asks, given a host graph G on n vertices and a pattern graph P on k vertices, whether G contains a subgraph isomorphic to P. The restriction of this problem to planar graphs has often been considered. After a sequence of improvements, the current best algorithm for planar graphs is a linear time algorithm by Dorn (STACS '10), with complexity 2^{O(k)} O(n). We generalize this result, by giving an algorithm of the same complexity for graphs that can be embedded in surfaces of bounded genus. In addition, we simplify the algorithm and analysis. The key to these improvements is the introduction of surface split decompositions for bounded genus graphs, which generalize sphere cut decompositions for planar graphs. We extend the algorithm for the problem of counting and generating all subgraphs isomorphic to P, even for the case where P is disconnected. This answers an open question by Eppstein (JGAA '99).
