Constant Rate Isometric Embeddings of Hamming Metric into Edit Metric

Authors: Sudatta Bhattacharya, Sanjana Dey, Elazar Goldenberg, Mursalin Habib, Bernhard Haeupler, Karthik C. S., and Michal Koucký

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 374, 53rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2026)

Abstract
A function φ: {0,1}^n → {0,1}^N is called an isometric embedding of the n-dimensional Hamming metric space to the N-dimensional edit metric space if, for all x, y ∈ {0,1}ⁿ, the Hamming distance between x and y is equal to the edit distance between φ(x) and φ(y). The rate of such an embedding is defined as the ratio n/N. It is well known in the literature how to construct isometric embeddings with a rate of Ω(1/log n). However, achieving even near-isometric embeddings with a positive constant rate has remained elusive until now. In this paper, we present an isometric embedding with a rate of 1/8 by discovering connections to synchronization strings, which were studied in the context of insertion-deletion codes (Haeupler-Shahrasbi [JACM'21]). At a technical level, we introduce a framework for obtaining high-rate isometric embeddings using a novel object called a misaligner. We speculate that, with sufficient computational resources, our framework could potentially yield isometric embeddings with a rate of 1/5. As an immediate consequence of our constant rate isometric embedding, we improve known conditional lower bounds for the closest pair problem and the discrete 1-center problem in the edit metric and NP-hardness of approximation results for clustering problems and the Steiner tree problem in the edit metric, but now with optimal dependency on the dimension. Furthermore, we obtain optimal lower bounds for the gap edit distance problem in the two-player randomized communication complexity model. We complement our results by showing that no isometric embedding φ:{0,1}^n → {0,1}^N can have rate greater than 15/32 for all positive integers n. En route to proving this upper bound, we uncover fundamental structural properties necessary for every Hamming-to-edit isometric embedding. We also prove similar upper and lower bounds for embeddings over larger alphabets. Finally, we consider embeddings φ:Σ_in^n → Σ_out^N between different input and output alphabets, where the rate is given by (n log|Σ_in|)/(Nlog|Σ_out|). In this setting, we show that the rate can be made arbitrarily close to 1.

Simpler and Improved Replacement Path Coverings

Authors: Davide Bilò, Shiri Chechik, Keerti Choudhary, Sarel Cohen, and Martin Schirneck

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 374, 53rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2026)

Abstract
An important tool in the design of fault-tolerant graph data structures are (L,f)-replacement path coverings (RPCs). An RPC is a family 𝒢 of subgraphs of a given graph G such that, for every set F of at most f edges, there is a subfamily 𝒢_F ⊆ 𝒢 with the following properties. 1) No subgraph in 𝒢_F contains an edge of F. 2) For each pair of vertices s,t that have a shortest path in G-F with at most L edges, one such path also exists in some subgraph in 𝒢_F. The covering value of the RPC is the total number |𝒢| of subgraphs. The query time is the time needed to compute the subfamily 𝒢_F given the set F. Weimann and Yuster [TALG'13] devised a randomized RPC with covering value Õ(fL^f) and query time Õ(f² L^f). This was derandomized by Karthik and Parter [TALG'24], who also reduced the query time to Õ(f² L). Their approach uses some heavy algebraic machinery involving error-correcting codes and an increased covering value of O((cfL log n)^{f+1}) for some constant c > 1. We instead devise a much simpler derandomization via conditional expectations that lowers the covering value back to Õ(fL^{f+o(1)}) and decreases the query time to Õ(f^{5/2} L^o(1)), assuming f = o(log L). We also investigate the optimal covering value of any (L,f)-replacement path covering (deterministic or randomized) for different parameter ranges. We provide a new randomized construction as well as improving a known lower bound, also by Karthik and Parter. For example, for f = o(log L), we give an RPC with Õ((L/f)^f L^o(1)) subgraphs and show that this is tight up to the L^o(1) term.

Maximizing Diversity in (Near-)Median String Selection

Authors: Diptarka Chakraborty, Rudrayan Kundu, Nidhi Purohit, and Aravinda Kanchana Ruwanpathirana

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 369, 37th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2026)

Abstract
Given a set of strings over a specified alphabet, identifying a median or consensus string that minimizes the total distance to all input strings is a fundamental data aggregation problem. When the Hamming distance is considered as the underlying metric, this problem has extensive applications, ranging from bioinformatics to pattern recognition. However, modern applications often require the generation of multiple (near-)optimal yet diverse median strings to enhance flexibility and robustness in decision-making. In this study, we address this need by focusing on two prominent diversity measures: sum dispersion and min dispersion. We first introduce an exact algorithm for the diameter variant of the problem, which identifies pairs of near-optimal medians that are maximally diverse. Subsequently, we propose a (1-ε)-approximation algorithm (for any ε > 0) for sum dispersion, as well as a bi-criteria approximation algorithm for the more challenging min dispersion case, allowing the generation of multiple (more than two) diverse near-optimal Hamming medians. Our approach primarily leverages structural insights into the Hamming median space and also draws on techniques from error-correcting code construction to establish these results.

Near-Linear and Parameterized Approximations for Maximum Cliques in Disk Graphs

Authors: Jie Gao, Paweł Gawrychowski, Panos Giannopoulos, Wolfgang Mulzer, Satyam Singh, Frank Staals, and Meirav Zehavi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
A disk graph is the intersection graph of (closed) disks in the plane. We consider the classic problem of finding a maximum clique in a disk graph. For general disk graphs, the complexity of this problem is still open, but for unit disk graphs, it is well known to be in P. The currently fastest algorithm runs in time O(n^{7/3+ o(1)}), where n denotes the number of disks [Jared Espenant et al., 2023; J. Mark Keil and Debajyoti Mondal, 2025]. Moreover, for the case of disk graphs with t distinct radii, the problem has also recently been shown to be in XP. More specifically, it is solvable in time O^*(n^{2t}) [J. Mark Keil and Debajyoti Mondal, 2025]. In this paper, we present algorithms with improved running times by allowing for approximate solutions and by using randomization: [(i)] 1) for unit disk graphs, we give an algorithm that, with constant success probability, computes a (1-ε)-approximate maximum clique in expected time Õ(n/ε²); and 2) for disk graphs with t distinct radii, we give a parameterized approximation scheme that, with a constant success probability, computes a (1-ε)-approximate maximum clique in expected time Õ(f(t)⋅ (1/ε)^{O(t)} ⋅ n), for some (exponential) function f(t).

Inducing Efficient and Equitable Professional Networks Through Link Recommendations

Authors: Cynthia Dwork, Chris Hays, Lunjia Hu, Nicole Immorlica, and Juan Perdomo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 368, 7th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2026)

Abstract
Professional networks are a key determinant of individuals’ labor market outcomes. They may also play a role in either exacerbating or ameliorating inequality of opportunity across social groups. We initiate an investigation into the positive role that a professional networking platform can play when network members have different degrees of off-platform privilege. In a theoretical model, we show that the set of link recommendation policies that reduce costs between privileged and unprivileged individuals yield equilibria that are welfare-improving over all possible equilibria, compared to those obtained when not recommending links or recommending some smaller fraction of cross-group links. We next investigate the implications of platforms that do not intervene on the network formation process. We show that, absent intervention, inequality can increase relative to starting privilege levels even without exogenous in-group preferences, confirming and complementing existing theoretical literature. Increased inequality emerges from the differential leverage privileged and unprivileged individuals have in forming connections due to their asymmetric ex ante prospects. This is a formalization of a source of inequality in the labor market which has not been previously explored. These two findings reveal a stark reality: professional networking platforms that fail to foster integration in the link formation process risk reducing the platform’s utility to its users and exacerbating existing labor market inequality.

Computational Hardness of Private Coreset

Authors: Badih Ghazi, Cristóbal Guzmán, Pritish Kamath, Alexander Knop, Ravi Kumar, and Pasin Manurangsi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 368, 7th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2026)

Abstract
We study the problem of differentially private (DP) computation of coreset for the k-means objective. For a given input set of points, a coreset is another set of points such that the k-means objective for any candidate solution is preserved up to a multiplicative (1 ± α) factor (and some additive factor). We prove the first computational lower bounds for this problem. Specifically, assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that no polynomial-time (ε, 1/n^{ω(1)})-DP algorithm can compute a coreset for k-means in the 𝓁_∞-metric for some constant α > 0 (and some constant additive factor), even for k = 3. For k-means in the Euclidean metric, we show a similar result but only for α = Θ(1/d²), where d is the dimension.

Privacy, Prediction, and Allocation

Authors: Ben Jacobsen and Nitin Kohli

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 368, 7th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2026)

Abstract
Algorithmic predictions are increasingly used to inform the allocation of scarce resources. The promise of these methods is that, through machine learning, they can better identify the people who would benefit most from interventions. Recently, however, several works have called this assumption into question by demonstrating the existence of settings where simple, unit-level allocation strategies can meet or even exceed the performance of those based on individual-level targeting. Separately, other works have objected to individual-level targeting on privacy grounds, leading to an unusual situation where a single solution, unit-level targeting, is recommended for reasons of both privacy and utility. Motivated by the desire to fully understand the interplay of privacy and targeting levels, we initiate the study of aid allocation systems that satisfy differential privacy, synthesizing existing works on private optimization with the economic models of aid allocation used in the non-private literature. To this end, we investigate private variants of both individual and unit-level allocation strategies in both stochastic and distribution-free settings under a range of constraints on data availability. Through this analysis, we provide clean, interpretable bounds characterizing the tradeoffs between privacy, efficiency, and targeting precision in allocation.

Near-Optimal Bounds for Parameterized Euclidean k-Means

Authors: Vincent Cohen-Addad, Karthik C. S., David Saulpic, and Chris Schwiegelshohn

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
The k-means problem is a classic objective for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal is to find k representative points so as to minimize the sum of the squared distances from each point to its closest representative. In this work, we study the approximability of k-means in Euclidean spaces parameterized by the number of clusters, k. In seminal works, de la Vega, Karpinski, Kenyon, and Rabani [STOC'03] and Kumar, Sabharwal, and Sen [JACM'10] showed how to obtain a (1+ε)-approximation for high-dimensional Euclidean k-means in time 2^{(k/ε)^O(1)} ⋅ dn^O(1). In this work, we introduce a new fine-grained hypothesis called Exponential Time for Expanders Hypothesis (XXH) which roughly asserts that there are no non-trivial exponential time approximation algorithms for the vertex cover problem on near perfect vertex expanders. Assuming XXH, we close the above long line of work on approximating Euclidean k-means by showing that there is no 2^{(k/ε)^{1-o(1)}} ⋅ n^O(1) time algorithm achieving a (1+ε)-approximation for k-means in Euclidean space. This lower bound is tight as it matches the algorithm given by Feldman, Monemizadeh, and Sohler [SoCG'07] whose runtime is 2^O(k/ε) + O(ndk). Furthermore, assuming XXH, we show that the seminal O(n^{kd+1}) runtime exact algorithm of Inaba, Katoh, and Imai [SoCG'94] for k-means is optimal for small values of k.

Almost-Optimal Upper and Lower Bounds for Clustering in Low Dimensional Euclidean Spaces

Authors: Vincent Cohen-Addad, Karthik C. S., David Saulpic, and Chris Schwiegelshohn

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
The k-median and k-means clustering objectives are classic objectives for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal of the k-median (resp. k-means) problem is to find k representative points so as to minimize the sum of the distances (resp. sum of squared distances) from each point to its closest representative. Cohen-Addad, Feldmann, and Saulpic [JACM'21] showed how to obtain a (1+ε)-factor approximation in low-dimensional Euclidean metric for both the k-median and k-means problems in near-linear time 2^{(1/ε)^O(d²)} n ⋅ polylog(n) (where d is the dimension and n is the number of input points). We improve this running time to 2^{O(1/ε)^{d-1}} ⋅ n ⋅ polylog(n), and show an almost matching lower bound: under the Gap Exponential Time Hypothesis for 3-SAT, there is no 2^o(1/ε^{d-1}) n^O(1) algorithm achieving a (1+ε)-approximation for k-means.

FPT Approximations for Capacitated Sum of Radii and Diameters

Authors: Arnold Filtser and Ameet Gadekar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
The Capacitated Sum of Radii problem involves partitioning a set of points P, where each point p ∈ P has capacity U_p, into k clusters that minimize the sum of cluster radii, such that the number of points in the cluster centered at point p is at most U_p. We begin by showing that the problem is APX-hard, and that under gap-ETH there is no parameterized approximation scheme (FPT-AS). We then construct a ≈5.83-approximation algorithm in FPT time (improving a previous ≈7.61 approximation in FPT time). Our results also hold when the objective is a general monotone symmetric norm of radii. We also improve the approximation factors for the uniform capacity case, and for the closely related problem of Capacitated Sum of Diameters.

Conditional Complexity Hardness: Monotone Circuit Size, Matrix Rigidity, and Tensor Rank

Authors: Nikolai Chukhin, Alexander S. Kulikov, Ivan Mihajlin, and Arina Smirnova

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)

Abstract
Proving complexity lower bounds remains a challenging task: currently, we only know how to prove conditional uniform (algorithm) lower bounds and nonuniform (circuit) lower bounds in restricted circuit models. About a decade ago, Williams (STOC 2010) showed how to derive nonuniform lower bounds from uniform upper bounds: roughly, by designing a fast algorithm for checking satisfiability of circuits, one gets a lower bound for this circuit class. Since then, a number of results of this kind have been proved. For example, Jahanjou et al. (ICALP 2015) and Carmosino et al. (ITCS 2016) proved that if NSETH fails, then E^{NP} has series-parallel circuit size ω(n). One can also derive nonuniform lower bounds from nondeterministic uniform lower bounds. Perhaps the most well-known example is the Karp-Lipton theorem (STOC 1980): if Σ₂ ≠ Π₂, then NP ⊄ P/poly. Some recent examples include the following. Nederlof (STOC 2020) proved a lower bound on the matrix multiplication tensor rank under an assumption that TSP cannot be solved faster than in 2ⁿ time. Belova et al. (SODA 2024) proved that there exists an explicit polynomial family of arithmetic circuit size Ω(n^{δ}), for any δ > 0, assuming that MAX-3-SAT cannot be solved faster than in 2ⁿ nondeterministic time. Williams (FOCS 2024) proved an exponential lower bound for ETHR ∘ ETHR circuits under the Orthogonal Vectors conjecture. Whereas all the lower bounds above are proved under strong assumptions that might eventually be refuted, the revealed connections are of great interest and may still give further insights: one may be able to weaken the used assumptions or to construct generators from other fine-grained reductions. In this paper, we continue developing this line of research and show how uniform nondeterministic lower bounds can be used to construct generators of various types of combinatorial objects that are notoriously hard to analyze: Boolean functions of high circuit size, matrices of high rigidity, and tensors of high rank. Specifically, we prove the following. - If, for some ε and k, k-SAT cannot be solved in input-oblivious co-nondeterministic time O(2^{(1/2+ε)n}), then there exists a monotone Boolean function family in coNP of monotone circuit size 2^{Ω(n / log n)}. Combining this with the result above, we get win-win circuit lower bounds: either E^{NP{}} requires series-parallel circuits of size ω(n) or coNP requires monotone circuits of size 2^{Ω(n / log n)}. - If, for all ε > 0, MAX-3-SAT cannot be solved in co-nondeterministic time O(2^{(1 - ε)n}), then there exist small families of matrices with rigidity exceeding the best known constructions as well as small families of three-dimensional tensors of rank n^{1+Δ}, for some Δ > 0.

Range Longest Increasing Subsequence and Its Relatives

Authors: Karthik C. S. and Saladi Rahul

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
Longest increasing subsequence (LIS) is a classical textbook problem which is still actively studied in various computational models. In this work, we present a few results for the range longest increasing subsequence problem (Range-LIS) and its variants. The input to Range-LIS is a sequence 𝒮 of n real numbers and a collection 𝒬 of m query ranges and for each query in 𝒬, the goal is to report the LIS of the sequence 𝒮 restricted to that query. Our two main results are for the following generalizations of the Range-LIS problem: 2D Range Queries: In this variant of the Range-LIS problem, each query is a pair of ranges, one of indices and the other of values, and we provide a randomized algorithm with running time Õ(mn^{1/2}+ n^{3/2})+O(k), where k is the cumulative length of the m output subsequences. This improves on the elementary Õ(mn) runtime algorithm when m = Ω(√n). Previously, the only known result breaking the quadratic barrier was of Tiskin [SODA'10] which could only handle 1D range queries (i.e., each query was a range of indices) and also just outputted the length of the LIS (instead of reporting the subsequence achieving that length). Subsequent to our paper, Gawrychowski, Gorbachev, and Kociumaka in a preprint have extended Tiskin’s approach to handle reporting 1D range queries in O(n(log n)³+m+k) time. Colored Sequences: In this variant of the Range-LIS problem, each element in 𝒮 is colored and for each query in 𝒬, the goal is to report a monochromatic LIS contained in the sequence 𝒮 restricted to that query. For 2D queries, we provide a randomized algorithm for this colored version with running time Õ(mn^{2/3}+ n^{5/3})+O(k). Moreover, for 1D queries, we provide an improved algorithm with running time Õ(mn^{1/2}+ n^{3/2})+O(k). Thus, we again improve on the elementary Õ(mn) runtime algorithm. Additionally, we prove that assuming the well-known Combinatorial Boolean Matrix Multiplication Hypothesis, that the runtime for 1D queries is essentially tight for combinatorial algorithms. Our algorithms combine several tools such as dynamic programming (to precompute increasing subsequences with some desirable properties), geometric data structures (to efficiently compute the dynamic programming entries), random sampling (to capture elements which are part of the LIS), classification of query ranges into large LIS and small LIS, and classification of colors into light and heavy. We believe that our techniques will be of interest to tackle other variants of LIS problem and other range-searching problems.

On the PTAS Complexity of Multidimensional Knapsack

Authors: Ilan Doron-Arad, Ariel Kulik, and Pasin Manurangsi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We study the d-dimensional knapsack problem. We are given a set of items, each with a d-dimensional cost vector and a profit, along with a d-dimensional budget vector. The goal is to select a set of items that do not exceed the budget in all dimensions and maximize the total profit. A polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) with running time n^{Θ(d/{ε})} has long been known for this problem, where {ε} is the error parameter and n is the encoding size. Despite decades of active research, the best running time of a PTAS has remained O(n^{⌈ d/{ε} ⌉ - d}). Unfortunately, existing lower bounds only cover the special case with two dimensions d = 2, and do not answer whether there is a n^{o(d/({ε)})}-time PTAS for larger values of d. In this work, we show that the running times of the best-known PTAS cannot be improved up to a polylogarithmic factor assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH). Our techniques are based on a robust reduction from 2-CSP, which embeds 2-CSP constraints into a desired number of dimensions. Then, using a recent result of [Bafna Karthik and Minzer, STOC'25], we succeed in exhibiting tight trade-off between d and {ε} for all regimes of the parameters assuming d is sufficiently large. Informally, our result also shows that under ETH, for any function f there is no f(d/({ε)}) ⋅ n^{õ(d/({ε)})}-time (1-{ε})-approximation for d-dimensional knapsack, where n is the number of items and õ hides polylogarithmic factors in d/({ε)}.

Total Search Problems in ZPP

Authors: Noah Fleming, Stefan Grosser, Siddhartha Jain, Jiawei Li, Hanlin Ren, Morgan Shirley, and Weiqiang Yuan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We initiate a systematic study of TFZPP, the class of total NP search problems solvable by polynomial time randomized algorithms. TFZPP contains a variety of important search problems such as Bertrand-Chebyshev (finding a prime between N and 2N), refuter problems for many circuit lower bounds, and Lossy-Code. The Lossy-Code problem has found prominence due to its fundamental connections to derandomization, catalytic computing, and the metamathematics of complexity theory, among other areas. While TFZPP collapses to FP under standard derandomization assumptions in the white-box setting, we are able to separate TFZPP from the major TFNP subclasses in the black-box setting. In fact, we are able to separate it from every uniform TFNP class assuming that NP is not in quasi-polynomial time. To do so, we extend the connection between proof complexity and black-box TFNP to randomized proof systems and randomized reductions. Next, we turn to developing a taxonomy of TFZPP problems. We highlight a problem called Nephew, originating from an infinity axiom in set theory. We show that Nephew is in PWPP∩ TFZPP and conjecture that it is not reducible to Lossy-Code. Intriguingly, except for some artificial examples, most other black-box TFZPP problems that we are aware of reduce to Lossy-Code: - We define a problem called Empty-Child capturing finding a leaf in a rooted (binary) tree, and show that this problem is equivalent to Lossy-Code. We also show that a variant of Empty-Child with "heights" is complete for the intersection of SOPL and Lossy-Code. - We strengthen Lossy-Code with several combinatorial inequalities such as the AM-GM inequality. Somewhat surprisingly, we show the resulting new problems are still reducible to Lossy-Code. A technical highlight of this result is that they are proved by formalizations in bounded arithmetic, specifically in Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ (JSL 2007). - Finally, we show that the Dense-Linear-Ordering problem reduces to Lossy-Code.

Query Lower Bounds for Correlation Clustering Under Memory Constraints

Authors: Sumegha Garg, Songhua He, and Periklis A. Papakonstantinou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
This work initiates the study of memory–query tradeoffs for graph problems, with a focus on correlation clustering. Correlation clustering asks for a partition of the vertices that minimizes disagreements: non‑edges inside clusters plus edges across clusters. Our first result is a tight query lower bound: to output a partition whose cost approximates the optimum up to an additive error of ε n², any algorithm requires Ω(n/ε²) adjacency-matrix queries. Under memory constraints, we show that even for the seemingly easier task of approximating the optimal clustering cost (without producing a partition), any algorithm in the random query model must make ≫ n/ε² adjacency-matrix queries. Finally, we prove the first general graph model query lower bound for correlation clustering, where algorithms are allowed adjacency-matrix, neighbor, and degree queries. The latter two bounds are not yet tight, leaving room for sharper results.
