Simple Circuit Extensions for XOR in PTIME

Authors: Marco Carmosino, Ngu Dang, and Tim Jackman

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

Abstract
The Minimum Circuit Size Problem for Partial Functions (MCSP^*) is hard assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) (Ilango, 2020). This breakthrough result leveraged a characterization of the optimal {∧, ∨, ¬} circuits for n-bit OR (OR_n) and a reduction from the partial f-Simple Extension Problem where f = OR_n. It remains open to extend that reduction to show ETH-hardness of total MCSP. However, Ilango observed that the total f-Simple Extension Problem is easy whenever f is computed by read-once formulas (like OR_n). Therefore, extending Ilango’s proof to total MCSP would require replacing OR_n with a more complex but similarly well-understood Boolean function. This work shows that the f-Simple Extension problem remains easy when f is the next natural candidate: XOR_n. We first develop a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the f-Simple Extension Problem that is efficient whenever the optimal circuits for f are (1) linear in size, (2) polynomially "few" and efficiently enumerable in the truth-table size (up to isomorphism and permutation of inputs), and (3) all have constant bounded fan-out. XOR_n satisfies all three of these conditions. When ¬ gates count towards circuit size, optimal XOR_n circuits are binary trees of n-1 subcircuits computing (¬)XOR₂ (Kombarov, 2011). We extend this characterization when ¬ gates do not contribute the circuit size. Thus, the XOR-Simple Extension Problem is in polynomial time under both measures of circuit complexity. We conclude by discussing conjectures about the complexity of the f-Simple Extension problem for each explicit function f with known and unrestricted circuit lower bounds over the DeMorgan basis. Examining the conditions under which our Simple Extension Solver is efficient, we argue that multiplexer functions (MUX) are the most promising candidate for ETH-hardness of a Simple Extension Problem, towards proving ETH-hardness of total MCSP.

On the Complexity of Unique Quantum Witnesses and Quantum Approximate Counting

Authors: Anurag Anshu, Jonas Haferkamp, Yeongwoo Hwang, and Quynh T. Nguyen

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

Abstract
We study the long-standing open question on the power of unique witnesses in quantum protocols, which asks if UniqueQMA, a variant of QMA whose accepting witness space is 1-dimensional, contains QMA under quantum reductions. This work rules out any black-box reduction from QMA to UniqueQMA by showing a quantum oracle separation between BQP^UniqueQMA and QMA. This provides a contrast to the classical case, where the Valiant-Vazirani theorem shows a black-box randomized reduction from UniqueNP to NP, and suggests the need for studying the structure of the ground space of local Hamiltonians in distilling a potential unique witness. Via similar techniques, we show, relative to a quantum oracle, that QMA^QMA cannot decide quantum approximate counting, ruling out a quantum analogue of Stockmeyer’s algorithm in the black-box setting. Our results employ a subspace reflection oracle, previously considered in [Scott Aaronson and Greg Kuperberg, 2007; Scott Aaronson et al., 2020; She and Yuen, 2023], but we introduce new tools which allow us to exploit the unique witness constraint. We also show a strong "polarization" behavior of QMA circuits, which could be of independent interest in studying quantum polynomial hierarchies. We then ask a natural question; what structural properties of the local Hamiltonian problem can we exploit? We introduce a physically motivated candidate by showing that the ground energy of local Hamiltonians that satisfy a computational variant of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) can be estimated through a UniqueQMA protocol. Our protocol can be viewed as a quantum expander test in a low energy subspace of the Hamiltonian and verifies a unique entangled state across two copies of the subspace. This allows us to conclude that if UniqueQMA is not equivalent to QMA, then QMA-hard Hamiltonians must violate ETH under adversarial perturbations (more accurately, further assuming the quantum PCP conjecture if ETH only applies to extensive energy subspaces). Under the same assumption, this also serves as evidence that chaotic local Hamiltonians, such as the SYK model may be computationally simpler than general local Hamiltonians.

An Unholy Trinity: TFNP, Polynomial Systems, and the Quantum Satisfiability Problem

Authors: Marco Aldi, Sevag Gharibian, and Dorian Rudolph

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

Abstract
The theory of Total Function NP (TFNP) and its subclasses says that, even if one is promised an efficiently verifiable proof exists for a problem, finding this proof can be intractable. Despite the success of the theory at showing intractability of problems such as computing Brouwer fixed points and Nash equilibria, subclasses of TFNP remain arguably few and far between. In this work, we define two new subclasses of TFNP borne of the study of complex polynomial systems: Multi-homogeneous Systems (MHS) and Sparse Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (SFTA). The first of these is based on Bézout’s theorem from algebraic geometry, marking the first TFNP subclass based on an algebraic geometric principle. At the heart of our study is the computational problem known as Quantum SAT (QSAT) with a System of Distinct Representatives (SDR), first studied by [Laumann, Läuchli, Moessner, Scardicchio, and Sondhi 2010]. Among other results, we show that QSAT with SDR is MHS-complete, thus giving not only the first link between quantum complexity theory and TFNP, but also the first TFNP problem whose classical variant (SAT with SDR) is easy but whose quantum variant is hard. We also show how to embed the roots of a sparse, high-degree, univariate polynomial into QSAT with SDR, obtaining that SFTA is contained in a zero-error version of MHS. We conjecture this construction also works in the low-error setting, which would imply SFTA ⊆ MHS.

Decoding Balanced Linear Codes with Preprocessing

Authors: Andrej Bogdanov, Rohit Chatterjee, Yunqi Li, and Prashant Nalini Vasudevan

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

Abstract
Prange’s information set algorithm is a well-known decoding algorithm for linear codes. It decodes corrupted codewords of most 𝔽₂-linear codes C of message length n up to relative error rate O(log n / n) in poly(n) time. We show that the error rate can be improved to O((log n)² / n), provided: (1) the decoder has access to a polynomial-length advice string that depends on C only, and (2) C is n^{-Ω(1)}-balanced. As a consequence we improve the error tolerance in decoding random linear codes if inefficient preprocessing of the code is allowed. This reveals potential vulnerabilities in cryptographic applications of Learning Noisy Parities with low noise rate. Our main technical result is that the Hamming weight of Hw, where the rows of H are a random sample of short dual codewords, measures the proximity of a received word w to the code in the regime of interest. Given such H as advice, our algorithm corrects errors by locally minimizing this measure. We show that for most codes, the error rate tolerated by our decoder is asymptotically optimal among all algorithms whose decision is based on thresholding Hw for an arbitrary polynomial-size advice matrix H.

Commuting Local Hamiltonians Beyond 2D

Authors: John Bostanci and Yeongwoo Hwang

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

Abstract
Commuting local Hamiltonians provide a testing ground for studying many of the most interesting open questions in quantum information theory, including the quantum PCP conjecture and the nature of entanglement. However, unlike the general local Hamiltonian problem, the exact complexity of the commuting local Hamiltonian problem (CLH) remains unknown. A number of works have shown that increasingly expressive families of commuting local Hamiltonians admit classical verifiers. Despite intense work, proofs placing CLH in NP rely heavily on an underlying 2D lattice structure, or a very constrained local dimension and locality. In this work, we present a new technique to analyze the complexity of various families of commuting local Hamiltonians: guided reductions. Intuitively, these are a generalization of typical reduction where the prover provides a guide so that the verifier can construct a simpler Hamiltonian. The core of our reduction is a new rounding technique based on a combination of Jordan’s Lemma for pairs of projectors and the Structure Lemma for C^* algebras. Our rounding technique is much more flexible than previous work and allows us to remove constraints on local dimension in exchange for a rank-1 assumption. Using our rounding technique, we prove the following two results: 1) 2D-CLH for rank-1 instances are contained in NP, independent of the qudit dimension. It is notable that this family of commuting local Hamiltonians has no restriction on the local dimension or the locality of the Hamiltonian terms. 2) 3D-CLH for rank-1 instances are in NP. To our knowledge this is the first time a family of {3D} commuting local Hamiltonians has been contained in NP. Our results apply to Hamiltonians with large qudit degree and remain non-trivial despite the quantum Lovász Local Lemma. [Andris Ambainis et al., 2012]

Lower Bounds and Separations for Torus Polynomials

Authors: Vaibhav Krishan and Sundar Vishwanathan

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

Abstract
The class ACC⁰ consists of Boolean functions that can be computed by constant-depth circuits of polynomial size with AND, NOT and MOD_m gates, where m is a natural number. At the frontier of our understanding lies a widely believed conjecture asserting that MAJORITY does not belong to ACC⁰. A few years ago, Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019) introduced torus polynomial approximations as an approach towards this conjecture. Torus polynomials approximate Boolean functions when the fractional part of their value on Boolean points is close to half the value of the function. They reduced the conjecture that MAJORITY ∉ ACC⁰ to a conjecture concerning the non-existence of low degree torus polynomials that approximate MAJORITY. We reduce the non-existence problem further, to a statement about finding feasible solutions for an infinite family of linear programs. The main advantage of this statement is that it allows for incremental progress, which means finding feasible solutions for successively larger collections of these programs. As an immediate first step, we find feasible solutions for a large class of these linear programs, leaving only a finite set for further consideration. Our method is inspired by the method of dual polynomials, which is used to study the approximate degree of Boolean functions. Using our method, we also propose a way to progress further. We prove several additional key results with the same method, which include: - A lower bound on the degree of symmetric torus polynomials that approximate the AND function. As a consequence, we get a separation that symmetric torus polynomials are weaker than their asymmetric counterparts. - An error-degree trade-off for symmetric torus polynomials approximating the MAJORITY function, strengthening the corresponding result of Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019). - The first lower bounds against torus polynomials approximating AND, showcasing the power of the machinery we develop. This lower bound nearly matches the corresponding upper bound. Hence, we get an almost complete characterization of the torus polynomial approximation degree of AND. - Lower bounds against asymmetric torus polynomials approximating MAJORITY, or AND, in the very low error regime. This partially answers a question posed in Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019) about error-reduction for torus polynomials.

Communication Complexity of Equality and Error-Correcting Codes

Authors: Dale Jacobs, John Jeang, Vladimir Podolskii, Morgan Prior, and Ilya Volkovich

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

Abstract
We study the public-coin randomized communication complexity of the equality function. The communication complexity of this function is known to be low when the error probability is constant and the players have access to many random bits. The complexity grows, however, if the allowed error probability and the amount of randomness are restricted. We show that public-coin randomized protocols for equality and error-correcting codes are essentially the same object. That is, given a protocol for equality, we can construct a code, and vice versa. We substantially extend the protocol-implies-code direction: any protocol computing a function with a large fooling set can be converted into an error-correcting code. As a corollary, we show that among functions with a fooling set of size s, equality on log s bits has the least randomized communication complexity, regardless of the restrictions on the error probability and the amount of randomness. Finally, we use the connection to error-correcting codes to analyze the randomized communication complexity of equality for varying restrictions on the error probability and the amount of randomness. In most cases, we provide tight bounds. We pinpoint the setting in which tight bounds are still unknown.

Sparse Induced Subgraphs in P₇-Free Graphs of Bounded Clique Number

Authors: Maria Chudnovsky, Jadwiga Czyżewska, Kacper Kluk, Marcin Pilipczuk, and Paweł Rzążewski

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

Abstract
Many natural computational problems, including e.g. Max Weight Independent Set, Feedback Vertex Set, or Vertex Planarization, can be unified under an umbrella of finding the largest sparse induced subgraph that satisfies some property definable in CMSO₂ logic. It is believed that each problem expressible with this formalism can be solved in polynomial time in graphs that exclude a fixed path as an induced subgraph. This belief is supported by the existence of a quasipolynomial-time algorithm by Gartland, Lokshtanov, Pilipczuk, Pilipczuk, and Rzążewski [STOC 2021], and a recent polynomial-time algorithm for P₆-free graphs by Chudnovsky, McCarty, Pilipczuk, Pilipczuk, and Rzążewski [SODA 2024]. In this work we extend polynomial-time tractability of all such problems to P₇-free graphs of bounded clique number.

Deterministic Local Problems in Radio Networks: On the Impact of Local Domination and a Bit of Advice

Authors: Pawel Garncarek, Tomasz Jurdzinski, Dariusz R. Kowalski, Shay Kutten, and Miguel A. Mosteiro

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

Abstract
Radio Networks (RN) is one of the fundamental models for network communication where nodes can broadcast messages locally but their simultaneous transmissions can interfere with each other at their shared neighbors. This work focuses on performing the very fundamental primitive of Local Broadcast, in spite of the interferences. We investigate to what extent local knowledge, called advice, relating to the 2-local domination number γ₂ may speed up Local Broadcast. Specifically for each node and some dominating set, knowledge about some neighboring dominating node and the local number among the neighbors of that dominating node. We show that such advice is sufficient to build an efficient oblivious transmission schedule. Along those lines, we present three algorithms trading the level of adaptiveness (from oblivious to adaptive) for bits of advice per node (from O(log (Δγ₂)) to 1). All our algorithms complete Local Broadcast in Õ(Δγ₂²) rounds, where Δ is the maximum degree of the network. On the side of lower bounds, we show that, for each quasi-adaptive deterministic Local Broadcast algorithm, there is some RN that requires Ω(min{(min{Δ,γ₂}/log n)²,n}) communication rounds, where n is the number of network nodes. In quasi-adaptive protocols nodes may stop executing once its computational task is completed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first (nearly) quadratic Local Broadcast (same message for all neighbors) lower bound in the RN model. Our lower bound is stronger than previous works in multiple ways: i) it is nearly quadratically better than the best known general lower bound for this class of algorithms, ii) it applies to a wider class of algorithms than previous work for fully oblivious, iii) it achieves similar time lower bound than previous work proved for a much more demanding Local Broadcast where each node sends a possibly different message to each neighbor, and iv) it takes into account the local domination parameter γ₂.

Fine-Grained Classification of Detecting Dominating Patterns

Authors: Jonathan Dransfeld, Marvin Künnemann, and Mirza Redzic

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

Abstract
We consider the following generalization of dominating sets: Let G be a host graph and P be a pattern graph P. A dominating P-pattern in G is a subset S of vertices in G that (1) forms a dominating set in G and (2) induces a subgraph isomorphic to P. The graph theory literature studies the properties of dominating P-patterns for various patterns P, including cliques, matchings, independent sets, cycles and paths. Previous work (Kunnemann, Redzic 2024) obtains algorithms and conditional lower bounds for detecting dominating P-patterns particularly for P being a k-clique, a k-independent set and a k-matching. Their results give conditionally tight lower bounds if k is sufficiently large (where the bound depends the matrix multiplication exponent ω). We ask: Can we obtain a classification of the fine-grained complexity for all patterns P? Indeed, we define a graph parameter ρ(P) such that if ω = 2, then (n^ρ(P) m^{(|V(P)|-ρ(P))/2})^{1±o(1)} is the optimal running time assuming the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis, for all patterns P except the triangle K₃. Here, the host graph G has n vertices and m = Θ(n^α) edges, where 1 ≤ α ≤ 2. The parameter ρ(P) is closely related (but sometimes different) to a parameter δ(P) = max_{S ⊆ V(P)} |S|-|N(S)| studied in (Alon 1981) to tightly quantify the maximum number of occurrences of induced subgraphs isomorphic to P. Our results stand in contrast to the lack of a full fine-grained classification of detecting an arbitrary (not necessarily dominating) induced P-pattern.

A 3.3904-Competitive Online Algorithm for List Update with Uniform Costs

Authors: Mateusz Basiak, Marcin Bienkowski, Martin Böhm, Marek Chrobak, Łukasz Jeż, Jiří Sgall, and Agnieszka Tatarczuk

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

Abstract
We consider the List Update problem where the cost of each swap is assumed to be 1. This is in contrast to the "standard" model, in which an algorithm is allowed to swap the requested item with previous items for free. We construct an online algorithm Full-Or-Partial-Move (FPM), whose competitive ratio is at most 3.3904, improving over the previous best known bound of 4.

(Multivariate) k-SUM as Barrier to Succinct Computation

Authors: Geri Gokaj, Marvin Künnemann, Sabine Storandt, and Carina Truschel

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

Abstract
How does the time complexity of a problem change when the input is given succinctly rather than explicitly? We study this question for several geometric problems defined on a set X of N points in ℤ^d. As succinct representation, we choose a sumset (or Minkowski sum) representation: Instead of receiving X explicitly, we are given sets A,B of n points that define X as A+B = {a+b∣ a ∈ A,b ∈ B}. We investigate the fine-grained complexity of this succinct version for several Õ(N)-time computable geometric primitives. Remarkably, we can tie their complexity tightly to the complexity of corresponding k-SUM problems. Specifically, we introduce as All-ints 3-SUM(n,n,k) the following multivariate, multi-output variant of 3-SUM: given sets A,B of size n and set C of size k, determine for all c ∈ C whether there are a ∈ A and b ∈ B with a+b = c. We obtain the following results: 1) Succinct closest L_∞-pair requires time N^{1-o(1)} under the 3-SUM hypothesis, while succinct furthest L_∞-pair can be solved in time Õ(n). 2) Succinct bichromatic closest L_∞-Pair requires time N^{1-o(1)} iff the 4-SUM hypothesis holds. 3) The following problems are fine-grained equivalent to All-ints 3-SUM(n,n,k): succinct skyline computation in 2D with output size k and succinct batched orthogonal range search with k given ranges. This establishes conditionally tight Õ(min{nk, N})-time algorithms for these problems. We obtain further connections with All-ints 3-SUM(n,n,k) for succinctly computing independent sets in unit interval graphs. Thus, (Multivariate) k-SUM problems precisely capture the barrier for enabling sumset-succinct computation for various geometric primitives.

Efficient Contractions of Dynamic Graphs - With Applications

Authors: Monika Henzinger, Evangelos Kosinas, Robin Münk, and Harald Räcke

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

Abstract
A non-trivial minimum cut (NMC) sparsifier is a multigraph Ĝ that preserves all non-trivial minimum cuts of a given undirected graph G. We introduce a flexible data structure for fully dynamic graphs that can efficiently provide an NMC sparsifier upon request at any point during the sequence of updates. We employ simple dynamic forest data structures to achieve a fast from-scratch construction of the sparsifier at query time. Based on the strength of the adversary and desired type of time bounds, the data structure comes with different guarantees. Specifically, let G be a fully dynamic simple graph with n vertices and minimum degree δ. Then our data structure supports an insertion/deletion of an edge to/from G in n^o(1) worst-case time. Furthermore, upon request, it can return w.h.p. an NMC sparsifier of G that has O(n/δ) vertices and O(n) edges, in Ô(n) time. The probabilistic guarantees hold against an adaptive adversary. Alternatively, the update and query times can be improved to Õ(1) and Õ(n) respectively, if amortized-time guarantees are sufficient, or if the adversary is oblivious. Throughout the paper, we use Õ to hide polylogarithmic factors and Ô to hide subpolynomial (i.e., n^o(1)) factors. We discuss two applications of our new data structure. First, it can be used to efficiently report a cactus representation of all minimum cuts of a fully dynamic simple graph. Building this cactus for the NMC sparsifier instead of the original graph allows for a construction time that is sublinear in the number of edges. Against an adaptive adversary, we can with high probability output the cactus representation in worst-case Ô(n) time. Second, our data structure allows us to efficiently compute the maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs of undirected simple graphs, by repeatedly applying a minimum cut algorithm on the NMC sparsifier. Specifically, we can compute with high probability the maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs of a simple graph with n vertices and m edges in Õ(m+n²/k) time. This improves the best known time bounds for k = Ω(n^{1/8}) and naturally extends to the case of fully dynamic graphs.

Min-CSPs on Complete Instances II: Polylogarithmic Approximation for Min-NAE-3-SAT

Authors: Aditya Anand, Euiwoong Lee, Davide Mazzali, and Amatya Sharma

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

Abstract
This paper studies complete k-Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), where an n-variable instance has exactly one nontrivial constraint for each subset of k variables, i.e., it has binom(n,k) constraints. A recent work started a systematic study of complete k-CSPs [Anand, Lee, Sharma, SODA'25], and showed a quasi-polynomial time algorithm that decides if there is an assignment satisfying all the constraints of any complete Boolean-alphabet k-CSP, algorithmically separating complete instances from dense instances. The tractability of this decision problem is necessary for any nontrivial (multiplicative) approximation for the minimization version, whose goal is to minimize the number of violated constraints. The same paper raised the question of whether it is possible to obtain nontrivial approximation algorithms for complete Min-k-CSPs with k ≥ 3. In this work, we make progress in this direction and show a quasi-polynomial time polylog(n)-approximation to Min-NAE-3-SAT on complete instances, which asks to minimize the number of 3-clauses where all the three literals equal the same bit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known example of a CSP whose decision version is NP-Hard in general (and dense) instances while admitting a polylog(n)-approximation in complete instances. Our algorithm presents a new iterative framework for rounding a solution from the Sherali-Adams hierarchy, where each iteration interleaves the two well-known rounding tools: the conditioning procedure, in order to "almost fix" many variables, and the thresholding procedure, in order to "completely fix" them. Finally, we improve the running time of the decision algorithms of Anand, Lee, and Sharma and show a simple algorithm that decides any complete Boolean-alphabet k-CSP in polynomial time.

Mixing Time of Quantum Gibbs Sampling for Random Sparse Hamiltonians

Authors: Akshar Ramkumar and Mehdi Soleimanifar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 350, 20th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2025)

Abstract
Providing evidence that quantum computers can efficiently prepare low-energy or thermal states of physically relevant interacting quantum systems is a major challenge in quantum information science. A newly developed quantum Gibbs sampling algorithm [Chen et al., 2023] provides an efficient simulation of the detailed-balanced dissipative dynamics of non-commutative quantum systems. The running time of this algorithm depends on the mixing time of the corresponding quantum Markov chain, which has not been rigorously bounded except in the high-temperature regime. In this work, we establish a polylog(n) upper bound on its mixing time for various families of random n × n sparse Hamiltonians at any constant temperature. We further analyze how the choice of the jump operators for the algorithm and the spectral properties of these sparse Hamiltonians influence the mixing time. Our result places this method for Gibbs sampling on par with other efficient algorithms for preparing low-energy states of quantumly easy Hamiltonians.
