Line Cover and Related Problems

Authors: Matthias Bentert, Fedor V. Fomin, Petr A. Golovach, Souvik Saha, Sanjay Seetharaman, and Anannya Upasana

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

Abstract
We study several extensions of the classic Line Cover problem of covering a set of n points in the plane with k lines. Line Cover is known to be NP-hard and our focus is on two natural generalizations: (1) Line Clustering, where the objective is to find k lines in the plane that minimize the sum of squares of distances of a given set of input points to the closest line, and (2) Hyperplane Cover, where the goal is to cover n points in ℝ^d by k hyperplanes. We also consider the more general Projective Clustering problem, which unifies both of these and has numerous applications in machine learning, data mining, and computational geometry. In this problem one seeks k affine subspaces of dimension r minimizing the sum of squares of distances of a given set of n points in ℝ^d to the closest point within one of the k affine subspaces. Our main contributions reveal interesting differences in the parameterized complexity of these problems. While Line Cover is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the number k of lines in the solution, we show that Line Clustering is W[1]-hard when parameterized by k and rule out algorithms of running time n^{o(k)} under the Exponential Time Hypothesis. Hyperplane Cover is known to be NP-hard even when d = 2 and by the work of Langerman and Morin [Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2005], it is FPT parameterized by k and d. We complement this result by establishing that Hyperplane Cover is W[2]-hard when parameterized by only k. We complement our hardness results by presenting an algorithm for Projective Clustering. We show that this problem is solvable in n^{𝒪(dk(r+1))} time. Not only does this yield an upper bound for Line Clustering that asymptotically matches our lower bound, but it also significantly extends the seminal work on k-Means Clustering (the special case r = 0) by Inaba, Katoh, and Imai [SoCG 1994].

How to Use Nondeterminism in Cryptography

Authors: Marshall Ball and Peter Crawford-Kahrl

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

Abstract
Nondeterministic reductions have yielded powerful results in the theory of computational complexity, yet are effectively useless in a cryptographic context. The reason for this is simple, a nondeterministic polynomial time adversary can trivially break almost any cryptographic primitive by simply guessing the "key." In order to use this powerful nondeterministic tool kit in the cryptographic context, we initiate the study of cryptography against adversaries with limited nondeterminism: polynomial time nondeterministic algorithms that are restricted to just a few bits of nondeterminism. We demonstrate that limited nondeterministic security is sufficient to prove two foundational results that have eluded our grasp for decades: dream hardness amplification, and extracting ω(log n) hardcore bits.

Hitting Geodesic Intervals in Structurally Restricted Graphs

Authors: Tatsuya Gima, Yasuaki Kobayashi, Yuto Okada, Yota Otachi, and Hayato Takaike

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
Given a graph G = (V,E), a set T of vertex pairs, and an integer k, Hitting Geodesic Intervals asks whether there is a set S ⊆ V of size at most k such that for each terminal pair {u,v} ∈ T, the set S intersects at least one shortest u-v path. Aravind and Saxena [WALCOM 2024] introduced this problem and showed several parameterized complexity results. In this paper, we extend the known results in both negative and positive directions and present sharp complexity contrasts with respect to structural graph parameters. We first show that the problem is NP-complete even on graphs with highly restricted shortest-path structures. More precisely, we show the NP-completeness on graphs obtained by adding a single vertex to a disjoint union of 5-vertex paths. By modifying the proof of this result, we also show the NP-completeness on graphs obtained from a path by adding one vertex and on graphs obtained from a disjoint union of triangles by adding one universal vertex. Furthermore, we show the NP-completeness on graphs of bandwidth 4 and maximum degree 5 by replacing the universal vertex in the last case with a long path. Under standard complexity assumptions, these negative results rule out fixed-parameter algorithms for most of the structural parameters studied in the literature (if the solution size k is not part of the parameter). We next present fixed-parameter algorithms parameterized by k plus modular-width and by k plus vertex integrity. The algorithm for the latter case does indeed solve a more general setting that includes the parameterization by the minimum vertex multiway-cut size of the terminal vertices. We show that this is tight in the sense that the problem parameterized by the minimum vertex multicut size of the terminal pairs is W[2]-complete. We then modify the proof of this intractability result and show that the problem is W[2]-complete parameterized by k even in the setting where T = binom(Q,2) for some Q ⊆ V.

Binary k-Center with Missing Entries: Structure Leads to Tractability

Authors: Tobias Friedrich, Kirill Simonov, and Farehe Soheil

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
k-Center clustering is a fundamental classification problem, where the task is to categorize the given collection of entities into k clusters and come up with a representative for each cluster, so that the maximum distance between an entity and its representative is minimized. In this work, we focus on the setting where the entities are represented by binary vectors with missing entries, which model incomplete categorical data. This version of the problem has wide applications, from predictive analytics to bioinformatics. Our main finding is that the problem, which is notoriously hard from the classical complexity viewpoint, becomes tractable as soon as the known entries are sparse and exhibit a certain structure. Formally, we show fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for the parameters vertex cover, fracture number, and treewidth of the row-column graph, which encodes the positions of the known entries of the matrix. Additionally, we tie the complexity of the 1-cluster variant of the problem, which is famous under the name Closest String, to the complexity of solving integer linear programs with few constraints. This implies, in particular, that improving upon the running times of our algorithms would lead to more efficient algorithms for integer linear programming in general.

A Polynomial Delay Algorithm Generating All Potential Maximal Cliques in Triconnected Planar Graphs

Authors: Alexander Grigoriev, Yasuaki Kobayashi, Hisao Tamaki, and Tom C. van der Zanden

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
We develop a new characterization of potential maximal cliques of a triconnected planar graph and, using this characterization, give a polynomial delay algorithm generating all potential maximal cliques of a given triconnected planar graph. Combined with the dynamic programming algorithm due to Bouchitté and Todinca, this algorithm leads to a treewidth algorithm for general planar graphs that runs in time linear in the number of potential maximal cliques and polynomial in the number of vertices.

Pathfinding in Self-Deleting Graphs

Authors: Michal Dvořák, Dušan Knop, Michal Opler, Jan Pokorný, Ondřej Suchý, and Krisztina Szilágyi

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

Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of pathfinding on traversal-dependent graphs, i.e., graphs whose edges change depending on the previously visited vertices. In particular, we study self-deleting graphs, introduced by Carmesin et al. [Sarah Carmesin et al., 2023], which consist of a graph G = (V, E) and a function f: V → 2^E, where f(v) is the set of edges that will be deleted after visiting the vertex v. In the (Shortest) Self-Deleting s-t-path problem we are given a self-deleting graph and its vertices s and t, and we are asked to find a (shortest) path from s to t, such that it does not traverse an edge in f(v) after visiting v for any vertex v. We prove that Self-Deleting s-t-path is NP-hard even if the given graph is outerplanar, bipartite, has maximum degree 3, bandwidth 2 and |f(v)| ≤ 1 for each vertex v. We show that Shortest Self-Deleting s-t-path is W[1]-complete parameterized by the length of the sought path and that Self-Deleting s-t-path is W[1]-complete parameterized by the vertex cover number, feedback vertex set number and treedepth. We also show that the problem becomes FPT when we parameterize by the maximum size of f(v) and several structural parameters. Lastly, we show that the problem does not admit a polynomial kernel even for parameterization by the vertex cover number and the maximum size of f(v) combined already on 2-outerplanar graphs.

Parameterized Reunion with Achromatic Number

Authors: Satyabrata Jana, Souvik Saha, Saket Saurabh, and Anannya Upasana

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

Abstract
In this paper, we study the Achromatic Number problem. Given a graph G and an integer k, the task is to determine whether there exists a proper coloring of G, using at least k colors, in which every pair of distinct colors appears on the endpoints of some edge. It was established early on that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT)- even before the formal development of parameterized complexity. In fact, Farber, Hahn, Hell, and Miller [JCTB, 1986] devised an algorithm with a running time of 𝒪(f(k) ⋅ |E(G)|). Although the exact form of f(k) was not specified, it appears to be at least doubly exponential in k. In our work, we first present an algorithm with an explicit dependence on k, and then introduce another algorithm that is parameterized by the vertex cover number of the graph. More formally, we show the following. - Achromatic Number is solvable in time 2^𝒪(k⁵)+𝒪(|E(G)|). - Achromatic Number admits a polynomial kernel when the input is restricted to a d-degenerate graph and a more efficient kernel on trees. - We also study the parameterized complexity of the problem with respect to Vertex Cover and show that it admits an FPT algorithm running in time 2^𝒪(𝓁²) ⋅ n^𝒪(1), where 𝓁 is the size of a vertex cover.

A Parameterized Study of Secluded Structures in Directed Graphs

Authors: Jonas Schmidt, Shaily Verma, and Nadym Mallek

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

Abstract
Given an undirected graph G and an integer k, the Secluded Π-Subgraph problem asks you to find a maximum size induced subgraph that satisfies a property Π and has at most k neighbors in the rest of the graph. This problem has been extensively studied; however, there is no prior study of the problem in directed graphs. This question has been mentioned by Jansen et al. [ISAAC'23]. In this paper, we initiate the study of Secluded Subgraph problems in directed graphs by incorporating different notions of neighborhoods: in-neighborhood, out-neighborhood, and their union. Formally, we call these problems {In, Out, Total}-Secluded Π-Subgraph, where given a directed graph G and an integer k, we want to find an induced subgraph satisfying Π of maximum size that has at most k in/out/total-neighbors in the rest of the graph, respectively. We investigate the parameterized complexity of these problems for different properties Π. In particular, we prove the following parameterized results: - We design an FPT algorithm for the Total-Secluded Strongly Connected Subgraph problem when parameterized by k. - We show that the Out-Secluded ℱ-Free Subgraph problem with parameter k is W[1]-hard, where ℱ is a family of directed graphs except any subgraph of a star graph whose edges are directed towards the center. This result also implies that In/Out-Secluded DAG is W[1]-hard, unlike the undirected variants of the two problems, which are FPT. - We design an FPT-algorithm for In/Out/Total-Secluded α-Bounded Subgraph when parameterized by k, where α-bounded graphs are a superclass of tournaments. - For undirected graphs, we improve the best-known FPT algorithm for Secluded Clique by providing a faster FPT algorithm that runs in time 1.6181^k n^𝒪(1).

Graph Modification of Bounded Size to Minor-Closed Classes as Fast as Vertex Deletion

Authors: Laure Morelle, Ignasi Sau, and Dimitrios M. Thilikos

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

Abstract
A replacement action is a function ℒ that maps each graph H to a collection of graphs of size at most |V(H)|. Given a graph class ℋ, we consider a general family of graph modification problems, called ℒ-Replacement to ℋ, where the input is a graph G and the question is whether it is possible to replace some induced subgraph H₁ of G on at most k vertices by a graph H₂ in ℒ(H₁) so that the resulting graph belongs to ℋ. ℒ-Replacement to ℋ can simulate many graph modification problems including vertex deletion, edge deletion/addition/edition/contraction, vertex identification, subgraph complementation, independent set deletion, (induced) matching deletion/contraction, etc. We present two algorithms. The first one solves ℒ-Replacement to ℋ in time 2^poly(k) ⋅ |V(G)|² for every minor-closed graph class ℋ, where poly is a polynomial whose degree depends on ℋ, under a mild technical condition on ℒ. This generalizes the results of Morelle, Sau, Stamoulis, and Thilikos [ICALP 2020, ICALP 2023] for the particular case of Vertex Deletion to ℋ within the same running time. Our second algorithm is an improvement of the first one when ℋ is the class of graphs embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most g and runs in time 2^𝒪(k⁹) ⋅ |V(G)|², where the 𝒪(⋅) notation depends on g. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first parameterized algorithms with a reasonable parametric dependence for such a general family of graph modification problems to minor-closed classes.

Counting Small Induced Subgraphs: Scorpions Are Easy but Not Trivial

Authors: Radu Curticapean, Simon Döring, and Daniel Neuen

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

Abstract
In the parameterized problem #IndSub(Φ) for fixed graph properties Φ, given as input a graph G and an integer k, the task is to compute the number of induced k-vertex subgraphs satisfying Φ. Dörfler et al. [Algorithmica 2022] and Roth et al. [SICOMP 2024] conjectured that #IndSub(Φ) is #W[1]-hard for all non-meager properties Φ, i.e., properties that are nontrivial for infinitely many k. This conjecture has been confirmed for several restricted types of properties, including all hereditary properties [STOC 2022] and all edge-monotone properties [STOC 2024]. We refute this conjecture by showing that induced k-vertex graphs that are scorpions can be counted in time O(n⁴) for all k. Scorpions were introduced more than 50 years ago in the context of the evasiveness conjecture. A simple variant of this construction results in graph properties that achieve arbitrary intermediate complexity assuming ETH. Moreover, we formulate an updated conjecture on the complexity of #IndSub(Φ) that correctly captures the complexity status of scorpions and related constructions.

An Improved Bound for Plane Covering Paths

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Greg Aloupis, Ahmad Biniaz, Prosenjit Bose, Jean-Lou De Carufel, Cyril Gavoille, John Iacono, Linda Kleist, Michiel Smid, Diane Souvaine, and Leonidas Theocharous

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

Abstract
A covering path for a finite set P of points in the plane is a polygonal path such that every point of P lies on a segment of the path. The vertices of the path need not be at points of P. A covering path is plane if its segments do not cross each other. Let π(n) be the minimum number such that every set of n points in the plane admits a plane covering path with at most π(n) segments. We prove that π(n) ≤ ⌈6n/7⌉. This improves the previous best-known upper bound of ⌈21n/22⌉, due to Biniaz (SoCG 2023). Our proof is constructive and yields a simple O(n log n)-time algorithm for computing a plane covering path.

Solving Partial Dominating Set and Related Problems Using Twin-Width

Authors: Jakub Balabán, Daniel Mock, and Peter Rossmanith

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
Partial vertex cover and partial dominating set are two well-investigated optimization problems. While they are W[1]-hard on general graphs, they have been shown to be fixed-parameter tractable on many sparse graph classes, including nowhere-dense classes. In this paper, we demonstrate that these problems are also fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the twin-width of a graph. Indeed, we establish a more general result: every graph property that can be expressed by a logical formula of the form ϕ≡∃ x₁⋯ ∃ x_k ∑_{α ∈ I} #y ψ_α(x₁,…,x_k,y) ≥ t, where ψ_α is a quantifier-free formula for each α ∈ I, t is an arbitrary number, and #y is a counting quantifier, can be evaluated in time f(d,k)n, where n is the number of vertices and d is the width of a contraction sequence that is part of the input. In addition to the aforementioned problems, this includes also connected partial dominating set and independent partial dominating set.

Broadcasting Under Structural Restrictions

Authors: Yudai Egami, Tatsuya Gima, Tesshu Hanaka, Yasuaki Kobayashi, Michael Lampis, Valia Mitsou, Edouard Nemery, Yota Otachi, Manolis Vasilakis, and Daniel Vaz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
In the Telephone Broadcast problem we are given a graph G = (V,E) with a designated source vertex s ∈ V. Our goal is to transmit a message, which is initially known only to s, to all vertices of the graph by using a process where in each round an informed vertex may transmit the message to one of its uninformed neighbors. The optimization objective is to minimize the number of rounds. Following up on several recent works, we investigate the structurally parameterized complexity of Telephone Broadcast. In particular, we first strengthen existing NP-hardness results by showing that the problem remains NP-complete on graphs of bounded tree-depth and also on cactus graphs which are one vertex deletion away from being path forests. Motivated by this (severe) hardness, we study several other parameterizations of the problem and obtain FPT algorithms parameterized by vertex integrity (generalizing a recent FPT algorithm parameterized by vertex cover by Fomin, Fraigniaud, and Golovach [TCS 2024]) and by distance to clique, as well as FPT approximation algorithms parameterized by clique-cover and cluster vertex deletion. Furthermore, we obtain structural results that relate the length of the optimal broadcast protocol of a graph G with its pathwidth and tree-depth. By presenting a substantial improvement over the best previously known bound for pathwidth (Aminian, Kamali, Seyed-Javadi, and Sumedha [ICALP 2025]) we exponentially improve the approximation ratio achievable in polynomial time on graphs of bounded pathwidth from 𝒪(4^pw) to 𝒪(pw).

Kernelization in Almost Linear Time for Clustering into Bounded Vertex Cover Components

Authors: Sriram Bhyravarapu, Pritesh Kumar, Madhumita Kundu, Shivesh K. Roy, Sahiba, and Saket Saurabh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
Motivated by the growing interest in graph clustering and the framework proposed during the Dagstuhl Seminar 23331, we consider a natural specialization of this general approach (as also suggested during the seminar). The seminar introduced a broad perspective on clustering, where the goal is to partition a graph into connected components (or "clusters") that satisfy simple structural integrity constraints - not necessarily limited to cliques. In our work, we focus on the case where each cluster is required to have bounded vertex cover number. Specifically, a connected component C satisfies this condition if there exists a set S ⊆ V(C) with |S| ≤ d such that C - S is an independent set. We study this within the framework of the {Vertex Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Vertex Deletion to d-VCC}) problem: given a graph G and an integer k, the task is to determine whether there exists a vertex set S ⊆ V(G) of size at most k such that every connected component of G - S has vertex cover number at most d. We also examine the edge-deletion variant, {Edge Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Edge Deletion to d-VCC}), where the goal is to delete at most k edges so that each connected component of the resulting graph has vertex cover number at most d. We obtain following results. 1) {Vertex Deletion to d-VCC} admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁶k³) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁹k⁴) edges. 2) {Edge Deletion to d-VCC}, admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁴k) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁵k) edges. Both of our kernelization algorithms run in time 𝒪(1.253^d ⋅ (kd)^{𝒪(1)} ⋅ n log n). It is important to note that, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails, the dependence on d cannot be improved to 2^{o(d)}, as the case k = 0 reduces to solving the classical Vertex Cover problem, which is known to require 2^{Ω(d)} time under ETH. A key ingredient in our kernelization algorithms is a structural result about the hereditary graph class 𝒢_d, consisting of graphs in which every connected component has vertex cover number at most d. We show that 𝒢_d admits a finite obstruction set (with respect to the induced subgraph relation) of size 2^{𝒪(d²)}, where each obstruction graph has at most 3d + 2 vertices. This combinatorial result may be of independent interest.

Parameterized Spanning Tree Congestion

Authors: Michael Lampis, Valia Mitsou, Edouard Nemery, Yota Otachi, Manolis Vasilakis, and Daniel Vaz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
In this paper we study the Spanning Tree Congestion problem, where we are given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and are asked to find a spanning tree T of minimum maximum congestion. Here, the congestion of an edge e ∈ T is the number of edges uv ∈ E such that the (unique) path from u to v in T traverses e. We consider this well-studied NP-hard problem from the point of view of (structural) parameterized complexity and obtain the following results: - We resolve a natural open problem by showing that Spanning Tree Congestion is not FPT parameterized by treewidth (under standard assumptions). More strongly, we present a generic reduction which applies to (almost) any parameter of the form "vertex-deletion distance to class 𝒞", thus obtaining W[1]-hardness for more restricted parameters, including tree-depth plus feedback vertex set, or incomparable to treewidth, such as twin cover. Via a slight tweak of the same reduction we also show that the problem is NP-complete on graphs of modular-width 4. - Even though it is known that Spanning Tree Congestion remains NP-hard on instances with only one vertex of unbounded degree, it is currently open whether the problem remains hard on bounded-degree graphs. We resolve this question by showing NP-hardness on graphs of maximum degree 8. - Complementing the problem’s W[1]-hardness for treewidth, we formulate an algorithm that runs in time roughly {(k+w)}^{𝒪(w)}, where k is the desired congestion and w the treewidth, improving a previous argument for parameter k+w that was based on Courcelle’s theorem. This explicit algorithm pays off in two ways: it allows us to obtain an FPT approximation scheme for parameter treewidth, that is, a (1+ε)-approximation running in time roughly {(w/ε)}^{𝒪(w)}; and it leads to an exact FPT algorithm for parameter clique-width+k via a Win/Win argument. - Finally, motivated by the problem’s hardness for most standard structural parameters, we present FPT algorithms for several more restricted cases, namely, for the parameters vertex-deletion distance to clique; vertex integrity; and feedback edge set, in the latter case also achieving a single-exponential running time dependence on the parameter.
