On the Complexity of Minimising the Moving Distance for Dispersing Objects

Authors: Nicolás Honorato-Droguett, Kazuhiro Kurita, Tesshu Hanaka, and Hirotaka Ono

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
We study Geometric Graph Edit Distance (GGED), a graph-editing model to compute the minimum edit distance of intersection graphs that uses moving objects as an edit operation. We first show an O(n log n)-time algorithm that minimises the total moving distance to disperse unit intervals. This algorithm is applied to render a given unit interval graph (i) edgeless, (ii) acyclic and (iii) k-clique-free. We next show that GGED becomes strongly NP-hard when rendering a weighted interval graph (i) edgeless, (ii) acyclic and (iii) k-clique-free. Lastly, we prove that minimising the maximum moving distance for rendering a unit disk graph edgeless is strongly NP-hard over the L₁ and L₂ distances.

Forbidden Time Travel: Characterization of Time-Consistent Tree Reconciliation Maps

Authors: Nikolai Nojgaard, Manuela Geiß, Daniel Merkle, Peter F. Stadler, Nicolas Wieseke, and Marc Hellmuth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 88, 17th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2017)

Abstract
Motivation: In the absence of horizontal gene transfer it is possible to reconstruct the history of gene families from empirically determined orthology relations, which are equivalent to event-labeled gene trees. Knowledge of the event labels considerably simplifies the problem of reconciling a gene tree T with a species trees S, relative to the reconciliation problem without prior knowledge of the event types. It is well-known that optimal reconciliations in the unlabeled case may violate time-consistency and thus are not biologically feasible. Here we investigate the mathematical structure of the event labeled reconciliation problem with horizontal transfer. Results: We investigate the issue of time-consistency for the event-labeled version of the reconciliation problem, provide a convenient axiomatic framework, and derive a complete characterization of time-consistent reconciliations. This characterization depends on certain weak conditions on the event-labeled gene trees that reflect conditions under which evolutionary events are observable at least in principle. We give an O(|V(T)|log(|V(S)|))-time algorithm to decide whether a time-consistent reconciliation map exists. It does not require the construction of explicit timing maps, but relies entirely on the comparably easy task of checking whether a small auxiliary graph is acyclic. The algorithms are implemented in C++ using the boost graph library and are freely available at https://github.com/Nojgaard/tc-recon. Significance: The combinatorial characterization of time consistency and thus biologically feasible reconciliation is an important step towards the inference of gene family histories with hor- izontal transfer from orthology data, i.e., without presupposed gene and species trees. The fast algorithm to decide time consistency is useful in a broader context because it constitutes an attractive component for all tools that address tree reconciliation problems.
