Hamming Distance Oracles

Authors: Itai Boneh, Dvir Fried, Shay Golan, Matan Kraus, and Ely Porat

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

Abstract

In this paper, we present and study the Hamming distance oracle problem. In this problem, the task is to preprocess two strings S and T of lengths n and m, respectively, to obtain a data structure that is able to return the Hamming distance between a substring of S and a substring of T. For strings over a constant-size alphabet, we show that for every x ≤ min{n,m} there is a data structure with Õ(nm/x) preprocessing time and O(x) query time. We also provide a conditional lower bound, showing that for every ε > 0 there is no combinatorial data structure with query time O(x) and preprocessing time O((nm/x)^{1-ε}) unless combinatorial fast matrix multiplication is possible. For strings over a general alphabet, we present a data structure with Õ(nm/√x) pre-processing time and O(x) query time for every x ≤ min {n,m}. Moreover, for every ε > 0 we provide a data structure with a preprocessing time of Õ((n+m)/ε³) that returns with high probability a (1±ε) approximation of the Hamming distance of two input substrings. The query time of the approximation data structure is Õ(1/ε²).

Improved Bounds on the Maximum Number of Distinct Squares in Circular Words

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Manal Mohamed, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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

Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic growth of function CS(n), which maps n to the maximum number of distinct squares in a circular word of length n (that is, the maximum number of distinct squares of length at most n in a word ww of length 2n). We improve upon the lower bound of 1.25n established by Amit and Gawrychowski [SPIRE 2017] and the straightforward upper bound of 2n, which follows from the recent result of Brlek and Li [Comb. Theory, 2025] stating that there are fewer than n squares in standard (i.e., non-circular) words of length n. (Previously, Amit and Gawrychowski gave an upper bound of 32/15n using a weaker upper bound on squares in standard words.) Specifically, we show that CS(n) ≤ ⌈1.8 n⌉ and that, for infinitely many n, CS(n) ≥ 1.5n-𝒪(√n). For the lower bound, we exploit the combinatorial structure of Fibonacci words to construct a family of square-rich circular words. For the upper bound, we exploit density properties of the starting positions of long squares, adapting an approach of Amit and Gawrychowski.

Periodicity Property Testing on Strings with Wildcards

Authors: Carl Barton, Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Taha El Ghazi, Jonas Ellert, Oded Lachish, and Tatiana Starikovskaya

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

Abstract

In this work, we study periodicity in strings with wildcards. A string T with at most k wildcards is called strongly (p,k)-periodic if the wildcards in T can be replaced with alphabet symbols to obtain a string with period p, and weakly (p,k)-periodic if T[i] matches T[i+p] for all i. Intuitively, both generalize to (≤ g, k)-periodicity, which is the property of being (p,k)-periodic for some p ∈ [1..g]. An ε-tester for a property 𝒫 is an algorithm that distinguishes between strings that satisfy 𝒫 and strings where one needs to change at least an ε-fraction of the symbols to obtain a string that satisfies 𝒫. We study one-sided error testers, where strings satisfying 𝒫 must always be accepted, while strings that are ε-far must be rejected with probability at least 2/3. The complexity of a tester is the worst-case number of symbols of an input of length n it must read to make the decision. We design the following testers for p,g ≤ n/2: 1) An ε-tester for strong (p,k)-periodicity with complexity Õ_ε(1) . 2) An ε-tester for strong (≤ g,k)-periodicity with complexity Õ_ε(√g). 3) An ε-tester for weak (p,k)-periodicity with complexity Õ_ε(min(k, n /(k+p))). 4) An ε-tester for weak (≤ g,k)-periodicity with complexity Õ_ε(min(k+ √{gk}, n/√k)). Additionally, we show a lower bound on the complexity of ε-testers for weak (≤ g,k)-periodicity, implying that our tester for weak (≤ g,k)-periodicity is optimal up to a multiplicative (ε^{-1} ln(gk))^O(1) factor for a wide range of g and k. Finally, our tester for strong (≤ g,k)-periodicity generalizes the one of [Lachish and Newman; Algorithmica 2011] for strings without wildcards, matching (up to polylogarithmic factors) the unconditional lower bound of ̃Ω(√g) in said work for constant ε.

Faster Algorithms for Shortest Unique or Absent Substrings

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Manal Mohamed, Solon P. Pissis, Hilde Verbeek, and Wiktor Zuba

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

Abstract

We revisit two well-known algorithmic problems on strings: computing a shortest unique substring (SUS) and a shortest absent substring (SAS) in a string S of length n. Both problems admit folklore 𝒪(n)-time solutions using the suffix tree of S. However, for small alphabets, this complexity is not necessarily optimal in the word RAM model, where a string of length n over alphabet [0,σ) can be stored in 𝒪(n log σ/log n) space and read in 𝒪(n log σ/log n) time. We present an 𝒪(n log σ/√{log n})-time algorithm for computing a SUS in S. This algorithm decomposes the problem according to the length and the period of the sought substring and uses several tools and techniques, such as synchronizing sets, the analysis of runs, and wavelet trees, to reduce the computation of a SUS to a simple geometric problem. Further, we adapt this algorithm and combine it with an efficient construction of de Bruijn sequences in order to obtain an 𝒪(n log σ/√{log n})-time algorithm for computing a SAS in S.

On the Complexity of Language Membership for Probabilistic Words

Authors: Antoine Amarilli, Mikaël Monet, Paul Raphaël, and Sylvain Salvati

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

Abstract

We study the membership problem to context-free languages L (CFLs) on probabilistic words, that specify for each position a probability distribution on the letters (assuming independence across positions). Our task is to compute, given a probabilistic word, what is the probability that a word drawn according to the distribution belongs to L. This problem generalizes the problem of counting how many words of length n belong to L, or of counting how many completions of a partial word belong to L. We show that this problem is in polynomial time for unambiguous context-free languages (uCFLs), but can be #P-hard already for unions of two linear uCFLs. More generally, we show that the problem is in polynomial time for so-called poly-slicewise-unambiguous languages, where given a length n we can tractably compute an uCFL for the words of length n in the language. This class includes some inherently ambiguous languages, and implies the tractability of bounded CFLs and of languages recognized by unambiguous polynomial-time counter automata; but we show that the problem can be #P-hard for nondeterministic counter automata, even for Parikh automata with a single counter. We then introduce classes of circuits from knowledge compilation which we use for tractable counting, and show that this covers the tractability of poly-slicewise-unambiguous languages and of some CFLs that are not poly-slicewise-unambiguous. Extending these circuits with negation further allows us to show tractability for the language of primitive words, and for the language of concatenations of two palindromes. We finally show the conditional undecidability of the meta-problem that asks, given a CFG, whether the probabilistic membership problem for that CFG is tractable or #P-hard.

Approximate Cartesian Tree Matching with Substitutions

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jonas Ellert, and Manal Mohamed

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

Abstract

The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence’s elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text T of length n and a pattern P of length m. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-m fragments of T whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree CT(P) of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern. To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of T that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches CT(P). In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter k > 0, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of T that are at Hamming distance at most k from a string whose Cartesian tree matches CT(P). Our algorithm runs in time 𝒪(n √m ⋅ k^{2.5}) for k ≤ m^{1/5} and in time 𝒪(nk⁵) for k ≥ m^{1/5}, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art 𝒪(nmk)-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime k = o(m^{1/4}). On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

Time-Optimal Construction of String Synchronizing Sets

Authors: Jonas Ellert and Tomasz Kociumaka

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

Abstract

A powerful design principle behind many modern string algorithms is local consistency: breaking the symmetry between string positions based on their small contexts so that matching fragments are handled consistently. Among the most influential instantiations of this principle are string synchronizing sets [Kempa & Kociumaka; STOC 2019]. A τ-synchronizing set of a string of length n is a set of O(n/τ) string positions, chosen using their length-2τ contexts, such that (outside of highly periodic regions) every block of τ consecutive positions contains at least one element of the set. Synchronizing sets have found dozens of applications in diverse settings, from quantum and dynamic algorithms to fully compressed computation. In the classic word RAM model, particularly for strings over small alphabets, they enabled faster solutions to core problems in data compression, text indexing, and string similarity. In this work, we show that any string T ∈ [0 .. σ)ⁿ can be preprocessed in O(n log σ / log n) time so that, for any given integer τ ∈ [1 .. n], a τ-synchronizing set of T can be constructed in O((n log τ)/(τ log n)) time. Both bounds are optimal in the word RAM model with machine word size w = Θ(log n), matching the information-theoretic minimum for the input and output sizes, respectively. Previously, constructing a τ-synchronizing set required O(n/τ) time after an O(n)-time preprocessing [Kociumaka, Radoszewski, Rytter, and Waleń; SICOMP 2024], or, in the restricted regime of τ < 0.2 log_σ n, without any preprocessing needed [Kempa & Kociumaka; STOC 2019]. A simple instantiation of our method outputs the synchronizing set as a sorted list in O(n/τ) time, or as a bitmask in O(n/log n) time. Our optimal construction produces a compact fully indexable dictionary, supporting select queries in O(1) time and rank queries in O(log ((log τ)/(log log n))) time. The latter complexity matches known unconditional cell-probe lower bounds for τ ≤ n^{1-Ω(1)}. To achieve this, we introduce a general framework for efficiently processing sparse integer sequences via a custom variable-length encoding. We also augment the optimal variant of van Emde Boas trees [Pătraşcu & Thorup; STOC 2006] with a deterministic linear-time construction. When the set is represented as a bitmask under our sparse encoding, the same guarantees for select and rank queries hold after preprocessing in time proportional to the size of our encoding (in words).

Dynamic Pattern Matching with Wildcards

Authors: Arshia Ataee Naeini, Amir-Parsa Mobed, Masoud Seddighin, and Saeed Seddighin

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

Abstract

We study the fully dynamic pattern matching problem where the pattern may contain up to k wildcard symbols, each matching any symbol of the alphabet. Both the text and the pattern are subject to updates (insert, delete, change). We design an algorithm with 𝒪(n log² n) preprocessing and update/query time 𝒪̃(kn^{k/{k+1}} + k² log n). The bound is truly sublinear for a constant k, and sublinear when k = o(log n). We further complement our results with a conditional lower bound: assuming subquadratic preprocessing time, achieving truly sublinear update time for the case k = Ω(log n) would contradict the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). Finally, we develop sublinear algorithms for two special cases: - If the pattern contains w non-wildcard symbols, we give an algorithm with preprocessing time 𝒪(nw) and update time 𝒪(w + log n), which is truly sublinear whenever w is truly sublinear. - Using FFT technique combined with block decomposition, we design a deterministic truly sublinear algorithm with preprocessing time 𝒪(n^{1.8}) and update time 𝒪(n^{0.8} log n) for the case that there are at most two non-wildcards.

Streaming Periodicity with Mismatches, Wildcards, and Edits

Authors: Taha El Ghazi and Tatiana Starikovskaya

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract

In this work, we study the problem of detecting periodic trends in strings. While detecting exact periodicity has been studied extensively, real-world data is often noisy, where small deviations or mismatches occur between repetitions. This work focuses on a generalized approach to period detection that efficiently handles noise. Given a string S of length n, the task is to identify integers p such that the prefix and the suffix of S, each of length n-p+1, are similar under a given distance measure. Ergün et al. [APPROX-RANDOM 2017] were the first to study this problem in the streaming model under the Hamming distance. In this work, we combine, in a non-trivial way, the Hamming distance sketch of Clifford et al. [SODA 2019] and the structural description of the k-mismatch occurrences of a pattern in a text by Charalampopoulos et al. [FOCS 2020] to present a more efficient streaming algorithm for period detection under the Hamming distance. As a corollary, we derive a streaming algorithm for detecting periods of strings which may contain wildcards, a special symbol that match any character of the alphabet. Our algorithm is not only more efficient than that of Ergün et al. [TCS 2020], but it also operates without their assumption that the string must be free of wildcards in its final characters. Additionally, we introduce the first two-pass streaming algorithm for computing periods under the edit distance by leveraging and extending the Bhattacharya-Koucký’s grammar decomposition technique [STOC 2023].

Star-Based Separators for Intersection Graphs of c-Colored Pseudo-Segments

Authors: Mark de Berg, Bart M. P. Jansen, and Jeroen S. K. Lamme

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract

The Planar Separator Theorem, which states that any planar graph 𝒢 has a separator consisting of O(√n) nodes whose removal partitions 𝒢 into components of size at most 2n/3, is a widely used tool to obtain fast algorithms on planar graphs. Intersection graphs of disks, which generalize planar graphs, do not admit such separators. It has recently been shown that disk graphs do admit so-called clique-based separators that consist of O(√n) cliques. This result has been generalized to intersection graphs of various other types of disk-like objects. Unfortunately, segment intersection graphs do not admit small clique-based separators, because they can contain arbitrarily large bicliques. This is true even in the simple case of axis-aligned segments. In this paper we therefore introduce biclique-based separators (and, in particular, star-based separators), which are separators consisting of a small number of bicliques (or stars). We prove that any c-oriented set of n segments in the plane, where c is a constant, admits a star-based separator consisting of O(√n) stars. In fact, our result is more general, as it applies to any set of n pseudo-segments that is partitioned into c subsets such that the pseudo-segments in the same subset are pairwise disjoint. We extend our result to intersection graphs of c-oriented polygons. These results immediately lead to an almost-exact distance oracle for such intersection graphs, which has O(n√n) storage and O(√n) query time, and that can report the hop-distance between any two query nodes in the intersection graph with an additive error of at most 2. This is the first distance oracle for such types of intersection graphs that has subquadratic storage and sublinear query time and that only has an additive error.

Faster Algorithm for Bounded Tree Edit Distance in the Low-Distance Regime

Authors: Tomasz Kociumaka and Ali Shahali

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract

The tree edit distance is a natural dissimilarity measure between rooted ordered trees whose nodes are labeled over an alphabet Σ. It is defined as the minimum number of node edits - insertions, deletions, and relabelings - required to transform one tree into the other. The weighted variant assigns costs ≥ 1 to edits (based on node labels), minimizing total cost rather than edit count. The unweighted tree edit distance between two trees of total size n can be computed in 𝒪(n^{2.6857}) time; in contrast, determining the weighted tree edit distance is fine-grained equivalent to the All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem and requires n³/2^Ω(√{log n}) time [Nogler, Polak, Saha, Vassilevska Williams, Xu, Ye; STOC'25]. These impractical super-quadratic times for large, similar trees motivate the bounded version, parameterizing runtime by the distance k to enable faster algorithms for k ≪ n. Prior algorithms for bounded unweighted edit distance achieve 𝒪(nk²log n) [Akmal & Jin; ICALP’21] and 𝒪(n + k⁷log k) [Das, Gilbert, Hajiaghayi, Kociumaka, Saha; STOC'23]. For weighted, only 𝒪(n + k^{15}) is known [Das, Gilbert, Hajiaghayi, Kociumaka, Saha; STOC'23]. We present an 𝒪(n + k⁶ log k)-time algorithm for bounded tree edit distance in both weighted/unweighted settings. First, we devise a simpler weighted 𝒪(nk² log n)-time algorithm. Next, we exploit periodic structures in input trees via an optimized universal kernel: modifying prior 𝒪(n)-time 𝒪(k⁵)-size kernels to generate such structured instances, enabling efficient analysis.

Better Indexing for Rectangular Pattern Matching

Authors: Paweł Gawrychowski and Adam Górkiewicz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract

We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size n, an indexing structure that allows locating all k occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size m. While a structure of size 𝒪(n) with query time 𝒪(m+k) is known for this problem under the additional assumption that the pattern is a square [Giancarlo, SICOMP 1995], a popular belief was that for rectangular patterns one cannot achieve such (or even similar) bounds, due to a lower bound for a certain natural class of approaches [Giancarlo, WADS 1993]. We show that, in fact, it is possible to construct a very simple structure of size 𝒪(nlog n) that supports such queries for any rectangular pattern in 𝒪(m+klog^{ε}n) time, for any ε > 0.

Core-Sparse Monge Matrix Multiplication: Improved Algorithm and Applications

Authors: Paweł Gawrychowski, Egor Gorbachev, and Tomasz Kociumaka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract

Min-plus matrix multiplication is a fundamental tool for designing algorithms operating on distances in graphs and different problems solvable by dynamic programming. We know that, assuming the APSP hypothesis, no subcubic-time algorithm exists for the case of general matrices. However, in many applications the matrices admit certain structural properties that can be used to design faster algorithms. For example, when considering a planar graph, one often works with a Monge matrix A, meaning that the density matrix A^◻ has non-negative entries, that is, A^◻_{i,j} := A_{i+1,j} + A_{i,j+1} - A_{i,j} -A_{i+1,j+1} ≥ 0. The min-plus product of two n×n Monge matrices can be computed in 𝒪(n²) time using the famous SMAWK algorithm. In applications such as longest common subsequence, edit distance, and longest increasing subsequence, the matrices are even more structured, as observed by Tiskin [J. Discrete Algorithms, 2008]: they are (or can be converted to) simple unit-Monge matrices, meaning that the density matrix is a permutation matrix and, furthermore, the first column and the last row of the matrix consist of only zeroes. Such matrices admit an implicit representation of size 𝒪(n) and, as shown by Tiskin [SODA 2010 & Algorithmica, 2015], their min-plus product can be computed in 𝒪(nlog n) time. Russo [SPIRE 2010 & Theor. Comput. Sci., 2012] identified a general structural property of matrices that admit such efficient representation and min-plus multiplication algorithms: the core size δ, defined as the number of non-zero entries in the density matrices of the input and output matrices. He provided an adaptive implementation of the SMAWK algorithm that runs in 𝒪((n+δ)log³ n) or 𝒪((n+δ)log² n) time (depending on the representation of the input matrices). In this work, we further investigate the core size as the parameter that enables efficient min-plus matrix multiplication. On the combinatorial side, we provide a (linear) bound on the core size of the product matrix in terms of the core sizes of the input matrices. On the algorithmic side, we generalize Tiskin’s algorithm (but, arguably, with a more elementary analysis) to solve the core-sparse Monge matrix multiplication problem in 𝒪(n+δlog δ) ⊆ 𝒪(n + δ log n) time, matching the complexity for simple unit-Monge matrices. As witnessed by the recent work of Gorbachev and Kociumaka [STOC'25] for edit distance with integer weights, our generalization opens up the possibility of speed-ups for weighted sequence alignment problems. Furthermore, our multiplication algorithm is also capable of producing an efficient data structure for recovering the witness for any given entry of the output matrix. This allows us, for example, to preprocess an integer array of size n in Õ(n) time so that the longest increasing subsequence of any sub-array can be reconstructed in Õ(𝓁) time, where 𝓁 is the length of the reported subsequence. In comparison, Karthik C. S. and Rahul [arXiv, 2024] recently achieved 𝒪(𝓁+n^{1/2}polylog n)-time reporting after 𝒪(n^{3/2}polylog n)-time preprocessing.

Fast Computation of k-Runs, Parameterized Squares, and Other Generalised Squares

Authors: Yuto Nakashima, Jakub Radoszewski, and Tomasz Waleń

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract

A k-mismatch square is a string of the form XY where X and Y are two equal-length strings that have at most k mismatches. Kolpakov and Kucherov [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2003] defined two notions of k-mismatch repeats, called k-repetitions and k-runs, each representing a sequence of consecutive k-mismatch squares of equal length. They proposed algorithms for computing k-repetitions and k-runs working in 𝒪(nklog k+output) time for a string of length n over an integer alphabet, where output is the number of the reported repeats. We show that output = 𝒪(nk log k), both in case of k-repetitions and k-runs, which implies that the complexity of their algorithms is actually 𝒪(nk log k). We apply this result to computing parameterized squares. A parameterized square is a string of the form XY such that X and Y parameterized-match, i.e., there exists a bijection f on the alphabet such that f(X) = Y. Two parameterized squares XY and X'Y' are equivalent if they parameterized match. Recently Hamai et al. [SPIRE 2024] showed that a string of length n over an alphabet of size σ contains less than nσ non-equivalent parameterized squares, improving an earlier bound by Kociumaka et al. [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2016]. We apply our bound for k-mismatch repeats to propose an algorithm that reports all non-equivalent parameterized squares in 𝒪(nσ log σ) time. We also show that the number of non-equivalent parameterized squares can be computed in 𝒪(n log n) time. This last algorithm applies to squares under any substring compatible equivalence relation and also to counting squares that are distinct as strings. In particular, this improves upon the 𝒪(nσ)-time algorithm of Gawrychowski et al. [CPM 2023] for counting order-preserving squares that are distinct as strings if σ = ω(log n).

Near-Optimal Vertex Fault-Tolerant Labels for Steiner Connectivity

Authors: Koustav Bhanja and Asaf Petruschka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract

We present a compact labeling scheme for determining whether a designated set of terminals in a graph remains connected after any f (or less) vertex failures occur. An f-FT Steiner connectivity labeling scheme for an n-vertex graph G = (V,E) with terminal set U ⊆ V provides labels to the vertices of G, such that given only the labels of any subset F ⊆ V with |F| ≤ f, one can determine if U remains connected in G-F. The main complexity measure is the maximum label length. The special case U = V of global connectivity has been recently studied by Jiang, Parter, and Petruschka [Yonggang Jiang et al., 2025], who provided labels of n^{1-1/f} ⋅ poly(f,log n) bits. This is near-optimal (up to poly(f,log n) factors) by a lower bound of Long, Pettie and Saranurak [Yaowei Long et al., 2025]. Our scheme achieves labels of |U|^{1-1/f} ⋅ poly(f, log n) for general U ⊆ V, which is near-optimal for any given size |U| of the terminal set. To handle terminal sets, our approach differs from [Yonggang Jiang et al., 2025]. We use a well-structured Steiner tree for U produced by a decomposition theorem of Duan and Pettie [Ran Duan and Seth Pettie, 2020], and bypass the need for Nagamochi-Ibaraki sparsification [Hiroshi Nagamochi and Toshihide Ibaraki, 1992].
