Smoothed Analysis of Online Metric Matching with a Single Sample: Beyond Metric Distortion

Authors: Yingxi Li, Ellen Vitercik, and Mingwei Yang

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

Abstract

In the online metric matching problem, n servers and n requests lie in a metric space. Servers are available upfront, and requests arrive sequentially. An arriving request must be matched immediately and irrevocably to an available server, incurring a cost equal to their distance. The goal is to minimize the total matching cost. We study this problem in [0, 1]^d with the Euclidean metric, when servers are adversarial and requests are independently drawn from distinct distributions that satisfy a mild smoothness condition. Our main result is an O(1)-competitive algorithm for d ≠ 2 that requires no distributional knowledge, relying only on a single sample from each request distribution. To our knowledge, this is the first algorithm to achieve an o(log n) competitive ratio for non-trivial metrics beyond the i.i.d. setting. Our approach bypasses the Ω(log n) barrier introduced by probabilistic metric embeddings: instead of analyzing the embedding distortion and the algorithm separately, we directly bound the cost of the algorithm on the target metric space of a simple deterministic embedding. We then combine this analysis with lower bounds on the offline optimum for Euclidean metrics, derived via majorization arguments, to obtain our guarantees.

Improved Upper Bounds on Multiflow-Multicut Gaps in Cactus Graphs

Authors: Sina Kalantarzadeh and Nikhil Kumar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract

Given a set of source-sink pairs, the maximum multiflow problem asks for the largest total amount of flow that can be feasibly routed between them. The minimum multicut problem, which is dual to multiflow, seeks the lowest-cost set of edges whose removal disconnects all source-sink pairs. It is straightforward to see that the value of a minimum multicut is at least that of the corresponding maximum multiflow. The ratio between the two is known as the multiflow-multicut gap. The classical max-flow min-cut theorem tells us that this gap is exactly one when there is only a single source-sink pair. However, for multiple source-sink pairs, the gap can be arbitrarily large. In this work, we investigate the multiflow-multicut gap in cactus graphs, and establish the following results (i) tight upper bound of 1.5 for cycle (ii) an upper bound of 2 + 2/(ln 2) < 3.45 for general cactus graph (iii) tight upper bound of 2 for unicyclic graphs, where the graph contains exactly one cycle (iv) tight upper bound of 2 for path cactus graphs, where cycles are arranged along a single path. We develop novel generalizations of the classical rounding algorithm to establish our results.

Polynomial-Time Constant-Approximation for Fair Sum-Of-Radii Clustering

Authors: Sina Bagheri Nezhad, Sayan Bandyapadhyay, and Tianzhi Chen

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

Abstract

In a seminal work, Chierichetti et al. [Chierichetti et al., 2017] introduced the (t,k)-fair clustering problem: Given a set of red points and a set of blue points in a metric space, a clustering is called fair if the number of red points in each cluster is at most t times and at least 1/t times the number of blue points in that cluster. The goal is to compute a fair clustering with at most k clusters that optimizes certain objective function. Considering this problem, they designed a polynomial-time O(1)- and O(t)-approximation for the k-center and the k-median objective, respectively. Recently, Carta et al. [Carta et al., 2024] studied this problem with the sum-of-radii objective and obtained a (6+ε)-approximation with running time O((k log_{1+ε}(k/ε))^k n^O(1)), i.e., fixed-parameter tractable in k. Here n is the input size. In this work, we design the first polynomial-time O(1)-approximation for (t,k)-fair clustering with the sum-of-radii objective, improving the result of Carta et al. Our result places sum-of-radii in the same group of objectives as k-center, that admit polynomial-time O(1)-approximations. This result also implies a polynomial-time O(1)-approximation for the Euclidean version of the problem, for which an f(k)⋅n^O(1)-time (1+ε)-approximation was known due to Drexler et al. [Drexler et al., 2023]. Here f is an exponential function of k. We are also able to extend our result to any arbitrary 𝓁 ≥ 2 number of colors when t = 1. This matches known results for the k-center and k-median objectives in this case. The significant disparity of sum-of-radii compared to k-center and k-median presents several complex challenges, all of which we successfully overcome in our work. Our main contribution is a novel cluster-merging-based analysis technique for sum-of-radii that helps us achieve the constant-approximation bounds.

Going Beyond Surfaces in Diameter Approximation

Authors: Michał Włodarczyk

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

Abstract

Calculating the diameter of an undirected graph requires quadratic running time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and this barrier works even against any approximation better than 3/2. For planar graphs with positive edge weights, there are known (1+ε)-approximation algorithms with running time poly(1/ε, log n)⋅ n. However, these algorithms rely on shortest path separators and this technique falls short to yield efficient algorithms beyond graphs of bounded genus. In this work we depart from embedding-based arguments and obtain diameter approximations relying on VC set systems and the local treewidth property. We present two orthogonal extensions of the planar case by giving (1+ε)-approximation algorithms with the following running times: - 𝒪_h((1/ε)^𝒪(h) ⋅ nlog² n)-time algorithm for graphs excluding an apex graph of size h as a minor, - 𝒪_d((1/ε)^𝒪(d) ⋅ nlog² n)-time algorithm for the class of d-apex graphs. As a stepping stone, we obtain efficient (1+ε)-approximate distance oracles for graphs excluding an apex graph of size h as a minor. Our oracle has preprocessing time 𝒪_h((1/ε)⁸⋅ nlog nlog W) and query time 𝒪_h((1/ε)²⋅log n log W), where W is the metric stretch. Such oracles have been so far only known for bounded genus graphs. All our algorithms are deterministic.

Streaming Algorithms for Network Design

Authors: Chandra Chekuri, Rhea Jain, Sepideh Mahabadi, and Ali Vakilian

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract

We consider the Survivable Network Design problem (SNDP) in the single-pass insertion-only streaming model. The input to SNDP is an edge-weighted graph G = (V, E) and an integer connectivity requirement r(uv) for each u, v ∈ V. The objective is to find a minimum-weight subgraph H ⊆ G such that, for every pair of vertices u, v ∈ V, u and v are r(uv)-edge/vertex-connected. Recent work by [Ce Jin et al., 2024] obtained approximation algorithms for edge-connectivity augmentation, and via that, also derived algorithms for edge-connectivity SNDP (EC-SNDP). In this work we consider vertex-connectivity setting (VC-SNDP) and obtain several results for it as well as improved results for EC-SNDP. - We provide a general framework for solving connectivity problems including SNDP and others in streaming; this is based on a connection to fault-tolerant spanners. For VC-SNDP we provide an O(tk)-approximation in Õ(k^{1-1/t}n^{1 + 1/t}) space, where k is the maximum connectivity requirement, assuming an exact algorithm at the end of the stream. Using a refined LP-based analysis, we provide an O(β t)-approximation where β is the integrality gap of the natural cut-based LP relaxation. These are the first approximation algorithms in the streaming model for VC-SNDP. When applied to the EC-SNDP, our framework provides an O(t)-approximation in Õ(k^{1/2-1/(2t)}n^{1 + 1/t} + kn) space, improving the O(t log k)-approximation of [Ce Jin et al., 2024] using Õ(kn^{1+1/t}) space; this also extends to element-connectivity SNDP. - We consider vertex connectivity-augmentation in the link-arrival model. The input is a k-vertex-connected spanning subgraph G, and additional weighted links L arrive in the stream; the goal is to store the min-weight set of links such that G ∪ L is (k+1)-vertex-connected. We obtain constant-factor approximations in near-linear space for k = 1, 2. Our result for k = 2 is based on using the SPQR tree, a novel application for this well-known representation of 2-connected graphs.

Improved Lower Bounds on Multiflow-Multicut Gaps

Authors: Sina Kalantarzadeh and Nikhil Kumar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract

Given a set of source-sink pairs, the maximum multiflow problem asks for the maximum total amount of flow that can be feasibly routed between them. The minimum multicut, a dual problem to multiflow, seeks the minimum-cost set of edges whose removal disconnects all the source-sink pairs. It is easy to see that the value of the minimum multicut is at least that of the maximum multiflow, and their ratio is called the multiflow-multicut gap. The classical max-flow min-cut theorem states that when there is only one source-sink pair, the gap is exactly one. However, in general, it is well known that this gap can be arbitrarily large. In this paper, we study this gap for classes of planar graphs and establish improved lower bound results. In particular, we show that this gap is at least 20/9 for the class of planar graphs, improving upon the decades-old lower bound of 2. More importantly, we develop new techniques for proving such a lower bound, which may be useful in other settings as well.

Directed Buy-At-Bulk Spanners

Authors: Elena Grigorescu, Nithish Kumar, and Young-San Lin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract

We present a framework that unifies directed buy-at-bulk network design and directed spanner problems, namely, buy-at-bulk spanners. The goal is to find a minimum-cost routing solution for network design problems that captures economies at scale, while satisfying demands and distance constraints for terminal pairs. A more restricted version of this problem was shown to be O(2^{log^{1-ε} n})-hard to approximate, where n is the number of vertices, under a standard complexity assumption, by Elkin and Peleg (Theory of Computing Systems, 2007). Our results for buy-at-bulk spanners are the following. - When the edge lengths are integral with magnitude polynomial in n we present: 1) An Õ(n^{4/5 + ε})-approximation polynomial-time randomized algorithm for uniform demands. 2) An Õ(k^{1/2 + ε})-approximation polynomial-time randomized algorithm for general demands, where k is the number of terminal pairs. This can be improved to an Õ(k^{ε})-approximation algorithm for the single-source problem. The same approximation ratios hold in the online setting. - When the edge lengths are rational and well-conditioned, we present an Õ(k^{1/2 + ε})-approximation polynomial-time randomized algorithm that may slightly violate the distance constraints. The result can be improved to an Õ(k^ε)-approximation algorithm for the single-source problem. The same approximation ratios hold for the online setting when the condition number is given in advance. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first sublinear factor approximation algorithms for directed buy-at-bulk spanners. We allow the edge lengths to be negative and the demands to be non-unit, unlike the previous literature. Our approximation ratios match the state-of-the-art ratios in special cases, namely, buy-at-bulk network design by Antonakopoulos (WAOA, 2010) and (online) weighted spanners by Grigorescu, Kumar, and Lin (APPROX 2023). Furthermore, we improve the competitive ratio for online buy-at-bulk by Chakrabarty, Ene, Krishnaswamy, and Panigrahi (SICOMP, 2018) by a factor of log R, where R is the ratio between the maximum demand and the minimum demand.

Improved FPT Approximation for Sum of Radii Clustering with Mergeable Constraints

Authors: Sayan Bandyapadhyay and Tianzhi Chen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract

In this work, we study k-min-sum-of-radii (k-MSR) clustering under mergeable constraints. k-MSR seeks to group data points using a set of up to k balls, such that the sum of the radii of the balls is minimized. A clustering constraint is called mergeable if merging two clusters satisfying the constraint, results in a cluster that also satisfies the constraint. Many popularly studied constraints are mergeable, including fairness constraints and lower bound constraints. In our work, we design a (4+ε)-approximation for k-MSR under any given mergeable constraint with runtime 2^{O(k/(ε)⋅log²k/ε)} n⁴, i.e., fixed-parameter tractable in k for constant ε. Our result directly improves upon the FPT (6+ε)-approximation by Carta et al. [Carta et al., 2024]. We also provide a hardness result that excludes the exact solvability of k-MSR under any given mergeable constraint in time f(k)n^o(k), assuming ETH is true.

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Capacitated Vehicle Routing with Fixed Capacity

Authors: Jingyang Zhao and Mingyu Xiao

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

Abstract

The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is one of the most extensively studied problems in combinatorial optimization. Based on customer demand, we distinguish three variants of CVRP: unit-demand, splittable, and unsplittable. In this paper, we consider k-CVRP in general metrics and on general graphs, where k is the vehicle capacity. All three versions are APX-hard for any fixed k ≥ 3. Assume that the approximation ratio of metric TSP is 3/2. We present a (5/2 - Θ(√{1/k}))-approximation algorithm for the splittable and unit-demand cases, and a (5/2 + ln 2 - Θ(√{1/k}))-approximation algorithm for the unsplittable case. Our approximation ratio is better than the previous results when k is less than a sufficiently large value, approximately 1.7 x 10⁷. For small values of k, we design independent and elegant algorithms with further improvements. For the splittable and unit-demand cases, we improve the approximation ratio from 1.792 to 1.500 for k = 3, and from 1.750 to 1.500 for k = 4. For the unsplittable case, we improve the approximation ratio from 1.792 to 1.500 for k = 3, from 2.051 to 1.750 for k = 4, and from 2.249 to 2.157 for k = 5. The approximation ratio for k = 3 surprisingly achieves the same value as in the splittable case. Our techniques, such as EX-ITP - an extension of the classic ITP method, have the potential to improve algorithms for other routing problems as well.

Light Spanners with Small Hop-Diameter

Authors: Sujoy Bhore and Lazar Milenković

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract

Lightness, sparsity, and hop-diameter are the fundamental parameters of geometric spanners. Arya et al. [STOC'95] showed in their seminal work that there exists a construction of Euclidean (1+ε)-spanners with hop-diameter O(log n) and lightness O(log n). They also gave a general tradeoff of hop-diameter k and sparsity O(α_k(n)), where α_k is a very slowly growing inverse of an Ackermann-style function. The former combination of logarithmic hop-diameter and lightness is optimal due to the lower bound by Dinitz et al. [FOCS'08]. Later, Elkin and Solomon [STOC'13] generalized the light spanner construction to doubling metrics and extended the tradeoff for more values of hop-diameter k. In a recent line of work [SoCG'22, SoCG'23], Le et al. proved that the aforementioned tradeoff between the hop-diameter and sparsity is tight for every choice of hop-diameter k. A fundamental question remains: What is the optimal tradeoff between the hop-diameter and lightness for every value of k? In this paper, we present a general framework for constructing light spanners with small hop-diameter. Our framework is based on tree covers. In particular, we show that if a metric admits a tree cover with γ trees, stretch t, and lightness L, then it also admits a t-spanner with hop-diameter k and lightness O(kn^{2/k}⋅ γ L). Further, we note that the tradeoff for trees is tight due to a construction in uniform line metric, which is perhaps the simplest tree metric. As a direct consequence of this framework, we obtain new tradeoffs between lightness and hop-diameter for doubling metrics.

Fully Scalable MPC Algorithms for Euclidean k-Center

Authors: Artur Czumaj, Guichen Gao, Mohsen Ghaffari, and Shaofeng H.-C. Jiang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract

The k-center problem is a fundamental optimization problem with numerous applications in machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and communication networks. The k-center problem has been extensively studied in the classical sequential setting for several decades, and more recently there have been some efforts in understanding the problem in parallel computing, on the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model. For now, we have a good understanding of k-center in the case where each local MPC machine has sufficient local memory to store some representatives from each cluster, that is, when one has Ω(k) local memory per machine. While this setting covers the case of small values of k, for a large number of clusters these algorithms require undesirably large local memory, making them poorly scalable. The case of large k has been considered only recently for the fully scalable low-local-memory MPC model for the Euclidean instances of the k-center problem. However, the earlier works have been considering only the constant dimensional Euclidean space, required a super-constant number of rounds, and produced only k(1+o(1)) centers whose cost is a super-constant approximation of k-center. In this work, we significantly improve upon the earlier results for the k-center problem for the fully scalable low-local-memory MPC model. In the low dimensional Euclidean case in ℝ^d, we present the first constant-round fully scalable MPC algorithm for (2+ε)-approximation. We push the ratio further to (1 + ε)-approximation albeit using slightly more (1 + ε)k centers. All these results naturally extends to slightly super-constant values of d. In the high-dimensional regime, we provide the first fully scalable MPC algorithm that in a constant number of rounds achieves an O(log n/ log log n)-approximation for k-center.

Faster Fréchet Distance Under Transformations

Authors: Kevin Buchin, Maike Buchin, Zijin Huang, André Nusser, and Sampson Wong

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract

We study the problem of computing the Fréchet distance between two polygonal curves under transformations. First, we consider translations in the Euclidean plane. Given two curves π and σ of total complexity n and a threshold δ ≥ 0, we present an 𝒪̃(n^{7 + 1/3}) time algorithm to determine whether there exists a translation t ∈ ℝ² such that the Fréchet distance between π and σ + t is at most δ. This improves on the previous best result, which is an 𝒪(n⁸) time algorithm. We then generalize this result to any class of rationally parameterized transformations, which includes translation, rotation, scaling, and arbitrary affine transformations. For a class T of rationally parametrized transformations with k degrees of freedom, we show that one can determine whether there is a transformation τ ∈ T such that the Fréchet distance between π and τ(σ) is at most δ in 𝒪̃(n^{3k+4/3}) time.

Near-Optimal Directed Low-Diameter Decompositions

Authors: Karl Bringmann, Nick Fischer, Bernhard Haeupler, and Rustam Latypov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract

Low Diameter Decompositions (LDDs) are invaluable tools in the design of combinatorial graph algorithms. While historically they have been applied mainly to undirected graphs, in the recent breakthrough for the negative-length Single Source Shortest Path problem, Bernstein, Nanongkai, and Wulff-Nilsen [FOCS '22] extended the use of LDDs to directed graphs for the first time. Specifically, their LDD deletes each edge with probability at most O(1/D ⋅ log²n), while ensuring that each strongly connected component in the remaining graph has a (weak) diameter of at most D. In this work, we make further advancements in the study of directed LDDs. We reveal a natural and intuitive (in hindsight) connection to Expander Decompositions, and leveraging this connection along with additional techniques, we establish the existence of an LDD with an edge-cutting probability of O(1/D ⋅ log n log log n). This improves the previous bound by nearly a logarithmic factor and closely approaches the lower bound of Ω(1/D ⋅ log n). With significantly more technical effort, we also develop two efficient algorithms for computing our LDDs: a deterministic algorithm that runs in time Õ(m poly(D)) and a randomized algorithm that runs in near-linear time Õ(m). We believe that our work provides a solid conceptual and technical foundation for future research relying on directed LDDs, which will undoubtedly follow soon.

Coresets for Robust Clustering via Black-Box Reductions to Vanilla Case

Authors: Shaofeng H.-C. Jiang and Jianing Lou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract

We devise ε-coresets for robust (k,z)-Clustering with m outliers through black-box reductions to vanilla clustering. Given an ε-coreset construction for vanilla clustering with size N, we construct coresets of size N⋅ polylog(kmε^{-1}) + O_z(min{kmε^{-1}, m ε^{-2z}log^z(kmε^{-1})}) for various metric spaces, where O_z hides 2^{O(zlog z)} factors. This increases the size of the vanilla coreset by a small multiplicative factor of polylog(kmε^{-1}), and the additive term is up to a (ε^{-1}log (km))^{O(z)} factor to the size of the optimal robust coreset. Plugging in recent vanilla coreset results of [Cohen-Addad, Saulpic and Schwiegelshohn, STOC'21; Cohen-Addad, Draganov, Russo, Saulpic and Schwiegelshohn, SODA'25], we obtain the first coresets for (k,z)-Clustering with m outliers with size near-linear in k while previous results have size at least Ω(k²) [Huang, Jiang, Lou and Wu, ICLR'23; Huang, Li, Lu and Wu, SODA'25]. Technically, we establish two conditions under which a vanilla coreset is as well a robust coreset. The first condition requires the dataset to satisfy special structures - it can be broken into "dense" parts with bounded diameter. We combine this with a new bounded-diameter decomposition that has only O_z(km ε^{-1}) non-dense points to obtain the O_z(km ε^{-1}) additive bound. Another sufficient condition requires the vanilla coreset to possess an extra size-preserving property. To utilize this condition, we further give a black-box reduction that turns a vanilla coreset to the one that satisfies the said size-preserving property, and this leads to the alternative O_z(mε^{-2z}log^{z}(kmε^{-1})) additive size bound. We also give low-space implementations of our reductions in the dynamic streaming setting. Combined with known streaming constructions for vanilla coresets [Braverman, Frahling, Lang, Sohler and Yang, ICML'17; Hu, Song, Yang and Zhong, arXiv'1802.00459], we obtain the first dynamic streaming algorithms for coresets for k-Median (and k-Means) with m outliers, using space Õ(k + m) ⋅ poly(dε^{-1}log Δ) for inputs on a discrete grid [Δ]^d.

Lipschitz Decompositions of Finite 𝓁_{p} Metrics

Authors: Robert Krauthgamer and Nir Petruschka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract

Lipschitz decomposition is a useful tool in the design of efficient algorithms involving metric spaces. While many bounds are known for different families of finite metrics, the optimal parameters for n-point subsets of 𝓁_p, for p > 2, remained open, see e.g. [Naor, SODA 2017]. We make significant progress on this question and establish the bound β = O(log^{1-1/p} n). Building on prior work, we demonstrate applications of this result to two problems, high-dimensional geometric spanners and distance labeling schemes. In addition, we sharpen a related decomposition bound for 1 < p < 2, due to Filtser and Neiman [Algorithmica 2022].
