Fast Shortest Path in Graphs with Sparse Signed Tree Models and Applications

Authors: Édouard Bonnet, Colin Geniet, Eun Jung Kim, and Sungmin Moon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 374, 53rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2026)

Abstract
A signed tree model of a graph G is a compact binary structure consisting of a rooted binary tree whose leaves are bijectively mapped to the vertices of G, together with 2-colored edges xy, called transversal pairs, interpreted as bicliques or anti-bicliques whose sides are the leaves of the subtrees rooted at x and at y. We design an algorithm that, given such a representation of an unweighted n-vertex graph G with p transversal pairs, and given a source v ∈ V(G), computes a shortest-path tree rooted at v in G in time O(p log n). A wide variety of graph classes are such that for all n, their n-vertex graphs admit signed tree models with O(n) transversal pairs: for instance, those of bounded symmetric difference (hence, in particular, those of bounded flip-width, merge-width, twin-width, and degeneracy), more generally of bounded sd-degeneracy, as well as interval graphs. As applications of our Single-Source Shortest Path algorithm and new techniques, we - improve the runtime of the fixed-parameter algorithm for first-order model checking on graphs given with a witness of low merge-width from cubic [Dreier & Toruńczyk, STOC '25] to quadratic; - give an O(n² log n)-time algorithm for All-Pairs Shortest Path on graphs given with a witness of low merge-width, generalizing a result known for twin-width [Twin-Width III, SICOMP '24]; - significantly extend and simplify an O(n² log n)-time algorithm for multiplying two n × n matrices A, B of bounded twin-width in [Twin-Width V, STACS '23]: now A solely has to be an adjacency matrix of a graph of bounded twin-width and B can be arbitrary; - give an O(n² log² n)-time algorithm for All-Pairs Shortest Path on graphs of bounded twin-width, bypassing the need for contraction sequences in [Twin-Width III, SICOMP '24; Bannach et al. STACS '24]; - give an O(n^{7/3} log² n)-time algorithm for All-Pairs Shortest Path on graphs of symmetric difference O(n^{1/3}). The second and the last two items imply the same for Diameter, Radius, Eccentricity, Wiener Index, etc. The last three items do not assume any witness to be given as part of the input.

Going Beyond Twin-Width? CSPs with Unbounded Domain and Few Variables

Authors: Peter Jonsson, Victor Lagerkvist, Jorke M. de Vlas, and Magnus Wahlström

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 374, 53rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2026)

Abstract
We study connections between parameterized complexity, universal algebra, and structural graph parameters. Our starting point is the constraint satisfaction problem over instances with few variables but unbounded domain size (udCSP). Surprisingly, many upper and lower bounds in parameterized complexity can be expressed as solving such udCSPs. Prominent examples include the FPT algorithms for Boolean MinCSP [Eun Jung Kim et al., 2025], Directed Multicut with three cut requests [Meike Hatzel et al., 2023], and the canonical W[1]-hardness construction Paired Min Cut [Dániel Marx and Igor Razgon, 2009]. We represent constraints over unbounded domains by a set of unary maps ℳ into a finite base language Γ, situating udCSP(Γ, ℳ) in the algebraic terra incognita between finite and infinite domains. We present a novel algebraic theory that explains the parameterized complexity of problems such as Paired Min Cut, 𝓁-Chain Sat, and Coupled Min Cut, and unifies disparate FPT algorithms through the lens of twin-width. In particular, we simplify key steps in existing algorithms, e.g., for Boolean MinCSP, via a clean reduction to udCSP. We specifically concentrate on udCSP(Γ,ℳ) restricted to monotone maps Mo, where we identify the crucial connector polymorphism: its presence implies FPT for binary relations (via dynamic programming based on twin-width), while its absence entails W[1]-hardness. Extending this to higher-arity relations is related to the notoriously difficult task of finding a generalisation of twin-width to non-binary structures. As a step in this direction, inspired by our algebraic framework, we introduce a new structural parameter, projected grid-rank, and show that it coincides with the connector property, and agrees with twin-width for binary structures. More strongly, we show that for structures of bounded arity and bounded projected grid-rank, all binary projections have bounded twin-width. This width measure may thus be of independent interest for any problem currently hinging on generalizations of twin-width.

Search-Space Reduction for Boolean MinCSPs via Essential Constraints

Authors: Bart M. P. Jansen and Ruben F. A. Verhaegh

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

Abstract
For a fixed set ℱ of Boolean constraint types, a MinCSP(ℱ)-instance consists of a formula F that applies m constraints from ℱ to a set of n Boolean variables. The goal is to remove a minimum subset of constraint applications from F to make the remaining formula satisfiable. Previous work characterized how the choice of ℱ affects its polynomial-time solvability and approximability. We extend a recently introduced preprocessing framework for graph problems to the problem above. Rephrased in the context of CSPs, this framework defines a constraint application from a given formula F as c-essential if it is contained in all c-approximate solutions to F. Being able to efficiently detect these essential parts of a solution reduces the search space of any follow-up FPT algorithms parameterized by the solution size and yields an immediate asymptotic improvement to the runtime of such algorithms. In this work, we present a dichotomy theorem that distinguishes constraint sets ℱ for which c_ℱ-essential constraint applications can be detected efficiently for some c_{ℱ} ∈ 𝒪(1), from those for which this task is intractable under established complexity-theoretic conjectures. Our results show that for any set ℱ of bijunctive constraints, there is a polynomial-time algorithm that detects 𝒪(1)-essential constraint applications. This contrasts the fact that constant-factor approximating a bijunctive MinCSP(ℱ)-problem is intractable under the Unique Games Conjecture.

Near-Linear and Parameterized Approximations for Maximum Cliques in Disk Graphs

Authors: Jie Gao, Paweł Gawrychowski, Panos Giannopoulos, Wolfgang Mulzer, Satyam Singh, Frank Staals, and Meirav Zehavi

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

Abstract
A disk graph is the intersection graph of (closed) disks in the plane. We consider the classic problem of finding a maximum clique in a disk graph. For general disk graphs, the complexity of this problem is still open, but for unit disk graphs, it is well known to be in P. The currently fastest algorithm runs in time O(n^{7/3+ o(1)}), where n denotes the number of disks [Jared Espenant et al., 2023; J. Mark Keil and Debajyoti Mondal, 2025]. Moreover, for the case of disk graphs with t distinct radii, the problem has also recently been shown to be in XP. More specifically, it is solvable in time O^*(n^{2t}) [J. Mark Keil and Debajyoti Mondal, 2025]. In this paper, we present algorithms with improved running times by allowing for approximate solutions and by using randomization: [(i)] 1) for unit disk graphs, we give an algorithm that, with constant success probability, computes a (1-ε)-approximate maximum clique in expected time Õ(n/ε²); and 2) for disk graphs with t distinct radii, we give a parameterized approximation scheme that, with a constant success probability, computes a (1-ε)-approximate maximum clique in expected time Õ(f(t)⋅ (1/ε)^{O(t)} ⋅ n), for some (exponential) function f(t).

Parameterized Critical Node Cut Revisited

Authors: Dušan Knop, Nikolaos Melissinos, and Manolis Vasilakis

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

Abstract
We study how to sparsify connectivity in graphs under a tight deletion budget. Given a graph G and integers k,x ≥ 0, Critical Node Cut (CNC) asks whether we can delete at most k vertices so that the number of remaining unordered pairs of connected vertices is at most x. CNC generalizes Vertex Cover (the case x = 0) and models tasks in network design, epidemiology, and social network analysis. We comprehensively map the structural parameterized complexity landscape for Critical Node Cut. First, we prove W[1]-hardness for the combined parameter k + fes + Δ + pw, where fes is the feedback edge set number, Δ the maximum degree, and pw the pathwidth of the input graph, respectively. This significantly improves over the known W[1]-hardness for k+tw, where tw denotes the treewidth, and is tight in that tree-depth together with maximum degree trivially yields FPT. Second, we give new positive results. Specifically, we identify three structural parameters-max-leaf number, vertex integrity, and modular-width-that render the problem fixed-parameter tractable, and develop a polynomial-time algorithm for graphs of constant clique-width. Third, leveraging a technique introduced by Lampis [ICALP '14], we develop an FPT approximation scheme that, for any ε > 0, computes a (1+ε)-approximate solution in time (tw / ε)^{𝒪(tw)} n^{𝒪(1)}. Finally, we show that CNC admits no polynomial kernel when parameterized by vertex cover number, unless standard assumptions fail. Together, these results substantially sharpen the known complexity landscape for CNC.

First-Order Logic and Twin-Width for Some Geometric Graphs

Authors: Colin Geniet, Gunwoo Kim, and Lucas Meijer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
For some geometric graph classes, tractability of testing first-order formulas is precisely characterised by the graph parameter twin-width. This was first proved for interval graphs among others in [BCKKLT, IPEC '22], where the equivalence is called delineation, and more generally holds for circle graphs, rooted directed path graphs, and H-graphs when H is a forest. Delineation is based on the key idea that geometric graphs often admit natural vertex orderings, allowing to use the very rich theory of twin-width for ordered graphs. Answering two questions raised in their work, we prove that delineation holds for intersection graphs of non-degenerate axis-parallel unit segment graphs, but fails for visibility graphs of 1.5D terrains. We also prove delineation for intersection graphs of circular arcs.

Protrusion Decompositions Revisited: Uniform Lossy Kernels for Reducing Treewidth and Linear Kernels for Hitting Disconnected Minors

Authors: Roohani Sharma and Michał Włodarczyk

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

Abstract
Let ℱ be a finite family of graphs. In the ℱ-Deletion problem, one is given a graph G and an integer k, and the goal is to find k vertices whose deletion results in a graph with no minor from the family ℱ. This may be regarded as a far-reaching generalization of Vertex Cover and Feedback vertex Set. In their seminal work, Fomin, Lokshtanov, Misra & Saurabh [FOCS 2012] gave a polynomial kernel for this problem when the family ℱ contains a planar graph. As the size of their kernel is g(ℱ) ⋅ k^{f(ℱ)}, a natural follow-up question was whether the dependence on ℱ in the exponent of k can be avoided. The answer turned out to be negative: Giannopoulou, Jansen, Lokshtanov & Saurabh [TALG 2017] proved that this is already inevitable for the special case of the Treewidth-η-Deletion problem. In this work, we show that this non-uniformity can be avoided at the expense of a small loss. First, we present a simple 2-approximate kernelization algorithm for Treewidth-η-Deletion with a kernel size g(η) ⋅ k⁶. Next, we show that the approximation factor can be made arbitrarily close to 1, if we settle for a kernelization protocol with 𝒪(1) calls to an oracle that solves instances of size bounded by a uniform polynomial in k. We extend the above results to general ℱ-Deletion, whenever ℱ contains a planar graph, as long as an oracle for Treewidth-η-Deletion is available for small instances. Notably, all our constants are computable functions of ℱ and our techniques work also when some graphs in ℱ may be disconnected. Our results rely on two novel techniques. First, we transform so-called "near-protrusion decompositions" into true protrusion decompositions by sacrificing a small accuracy loss. Secondly, we show how to optimally compress such a decomposition with respect to general ℱ-Deletion. Using our second technique, we also obtain linear kernels on sparse graph classes when ℱ contains a planar graph, whereas the previously known theorems required all graphs in ℱ to be connected. Specifically, we generalize the kernelization algorithm by Kim, Langer, Paul, Reidl, Rossmanith, Sau & Sikdar [TALG 2015] on graph classes that exclude a topological minor.

A Linear Kernel for Independent Set Reconfiguration in Planar Graphs

Authors: Nicolas Bousquet and Daniel W. Cranston

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

Abstract
Fix a positive integer r, and a graph G that is K_{3,r}-minor-free. Let I_s and I_t be two independent sets in G, each of size k. We begin with a "token" on each vertex of I_s and seek to move all tokens to I_t, by repeated "token jumping", removing a single token from one vertex and placing it on another vertex. We require that each intermediate arrangement of tokens again specifies an independent set of size k. Given G, I_s, and I_t, we ask whether there exists a sequence of token jumps that transforms I_s into I_t. When k is part of the input, this problem is known to be PSPACE-complete. But it was shown by Ito, Kamiński, and Ono [Ito et al., 2014] to be fixed-parameter tractable. That is, the problem can be solved in time f(k)⋅ P(n), for some function f and polynomial P, where n denotes the order of G. Here we strengthen the upper bound on the running time in terms of k by showing that the problem has a kernel of size linear in k. More precisely, we transform an arbitrary input problem on a K_{3,r}-minor-free graph (for some fixed positive integer r) into an equivalent problem on a (K_{3,r}-minor-free) graph with order O(k). This answers positively a question of Bousquet, Mouawad, Nishimura, and Siebertz [Nicolas Bousquet et al., 2022] and improves the recent quadratic kernel of Cranston, Mühlenthaler, and Peyrille [Daniel W. Cranston et al., 2024]. For planar graphs, we further strengthen this upper bound to get a kernel of size at most 42k.

Abstract
Twin-width is a graph parameter that has become central to explaining the fixed-parameter tractability of first-order model checking across many graph classes. Despite its algorithmic importance, computing twin-width remains poorly understood: even recognizing graphs of twin-width at most four is NP-hard, and no fixed-parameter approximations parameterized by twin-width itself are known. A recent approach towards breaking this barrier focuses on first developing fixed-parameter algorithms for computing or approximating twin-width under parameterizations distinct from twin-width. Our first result establishes that approximating twin-width is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by treedepth, thereby breaking the long-standing barrier that all previous tractable parameterizations were based on deletion distance. The proof proceeds via oriented twin-width, yielding the first constructive evidence that this variant may be easier to handle algorithmically. As our second main result, we show that computing twin-width exactly is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to vertex integrity. This constitutes the first non-trivial parameterized algorithm for computing optimal contraction sequences.

Structural Parameterization of Steiner Tree Packing

Authors: Niko Hastrich and Kirill Simonov

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

Abstract
Steiner Tree Packing (STP) is a notoriously hard problem in classical complexity theory, which is of practical relevance to VLSI circuit design. Previous research has approached this problem by providing heuristic or approximate algorithms. In this paper, we show the first FPT algorithms for STP parameterized by structural parameters of the input graph. In particular, we show that STP is fixed-parameter tractable by the tree-cut width as well as the fracture number of the input graph. To achieve our results, we generalize techniques from Edge-Disjoint Paths (EDP) to Generalized Steiner Tree Packing (GSTP), which generalizes both STP and EDP. First, we derive the notion of the augmented graph for GSTP analogous to EDP. We then show that GSTP is FPT by - the tree-cut width of the augmented graph, - the fracture number of the augmented graph, - the slim tree-cut width of the input graph. The latter two results were previously known for EDP; our results generalize these to GSTP and improve the running time for the parameter fracture number. On the other hand, it was open whether EDP is FPT parameterized by the tree-cut width of the augmented graph, despite extensive research on the structural complexity of the problem. We settle this question affirmatively.

Weakly-Sparse and Strongly Flip-Flat Classes of Graphs Are Uniformly Almost-Wide

Authors: Fatemeh Ghasemi, Julien Grange, Mamadou Moustapha Kanté, and Florent Madelaine

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
In this work we take a step towards characterising strongly flip-flat classes of graphs. Strong flip-flatness appears to be the analogue of uniform almost-wideness in the setting of dense classes of graphs. We prove that strongly flip-flat classes of graphs that are weakly sparse are indeed uniformly almost-wide.

Maximum-Flow and Minimum-Cut Sensitivity Oracles for Directed Graphs

Authors: Mridul Ahi, Keerti Choudhary, Shlok Pande, Pushpraj, and Lakshay Saggi

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

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of designing fault-tolerant data structures for the (s,t)-max-flow and (s,t)-min-cut problems in unweighted directed graphs. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) with a designated source s, sink t, and an (s,t)-max-flow of value λ, we present constructions for max-flow and min-cut sensitivity oracles, and introduce the concept of a fault-tolerant flow family, which may be of independent interest. Our main contributions are as follows. 1) Fault-Tolerant Flow Family: We construct a family ℬ of 2λ+1 (s,t)-flows such that for every edge e, ℬ contains an (s,t)-max-flow of G-e. This covering property is tight up to constants for single failures and provably cannot extend to comparably small families for k ≥ 2, where we show an Ω(n) lower bound on the family size, independent of λ. 2) Max-Flow Sensitivity Oracle: Using the fault-tolerant flow family, we construct a single as well as dual-edge sensitivity oracle for (s,t)-max-flow that requires only O(λ n) space. Given any set F of up to two failing edges, the oracle reports the updated max-flow value in G-F in O(n) time. Additionally, for the single-failure case, the oracle can determine in constant time whether the flow through an edge x changes when another edge e fails. 3) Min-Cut Sensitivity Oracle for Dual Failures: Recently, Baswana et al. (ICALP’22) designed an O(n²)-sized oracle for answering (s,t)-min-cut size queries under dual edge failures in constant time, along with a matching lower bound. We extend this by focusing on graphs with small min-cut values λ, and present a more compact oracle of size O(λ n) that answers such min-cut size queries in constant time and reports the corresponding (s,t)-min-cut partition in O(n) time. We also show that the space complexity of our oracle is asymptotically optimal in this setting. 4) Min-Cut Sensitivity Oracle for Multiple Failures: We extend our results to the general case of k edge failures. For any graph with (s,t)-min-cut of size λ, we construct a k-fault-tolerant min-cut oracle with space complexity O_{λ,k}(n log n) that answers min-cut size queries in O_{λ,k}(log n) time. This also leads to improved fault-tolerant (s,t)-reachability oracles, achieving O(n log n) space and O(log n) query time for up to k = O(1) edge failures.

Complexity of Local Search for CSPs Parameterized by Constraint Difference

Authors: Aditya Anand, Vincent Cohen-Addad, Tommaso D'Orsi, Anupam Gupta, Euiwoong Lee, Debmalya Panigrahi, and Sijin Peng

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

Abstract
In this paper, we study the parameterized complexity of local search, whose goal is to find a good nearby solution from the given current solution. Formally, given an optimization problem where the goal is to find the largest feasible subset S of a universe U, the new input consists of a current solution P (not necessarily feasible) as well as an ordinary input for the problem. Given the existence of a feasible solution S^*, the goal is to find a feasible solution as good as S^* in parameterized time f(k)⋅n^O(1), where k denotes the distance |PΔ S^*|. This model generalizes numerous classical parameterized optimization problems whose parameter k is the minimum number of elements removed from U to make it feasible, which corresponds to the case P = U. We apply this model to widely studied Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), where U is the set of constraints, and a subset U' of constraints is feasible if there is an assignment to the variables satisfying all constraints in U'. We give a complete characterization of the parameterized complexity of all boolean-alphabet symmetric CSPs, where the predicate’s acceptance depends on the number of true literals.

Treedepth Inapproximability and Exponential ETH Lower Bound

Authors: Édouard Bonnet, Daniel Neuen, and Marek Sokołowski

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

Abstract
Treedepth is a central parameter to algorithmic graph theory. The current state-of-the-art in computing and approximating treedepth consists of a 2^{O(k²)} n-time exact algorithm and a polynomial-time O(OPT log^{3/2} OPT)-approximation algorithm, where the former algorithm returns an elimination forest of height k (witnessing that treedepth is at most k) for the n-vertex input graph G, or correctly reports that G has treedepth larger than k, and OPT is the actual value of the treedepth. On the complexity side, exactly computing treedepth is NP-complete, but the known reductions do not rule out a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS), and under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) only exclude a running time of 2^o(√n) for exact algorithms. We show that 1.0003-approximating Treedepth is NP-hard, and that exactly computing the treedepth of an n-vertex graph requires time 2^Ω(n), unless the ETH fails. We further derive that there exist absolute constants δ, c > 0 such that any (1+δ)-approximation algorithm requires time 2^Ω(n/log^c n). We do so via a simple direct reduction from Satisfiability to Treedepth, inspired by a reduction recently designed for Treewidth [STOC '25].

Enumeration Kernels for Vertex Cover and Feedback Vertex Set

Authors: Marin Bougeret, Guilherme C. M. Gomes, Vinicius F. dos Santos, and Ignasi Sau

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

Abstract
Enumerative kernelization is a recent and promising area sitting at the intersection of parameterized complexity and enumeration algorithms. Its study began with the paper of Creignou et al. [Theory Comput. Syst., 2017], and development in the area has started to accelerate with the work of Golovach et al. [J. Comput. Syst. Sci., 2022]. The latter introduced polynomial-delay enumeration kernels and applied them in the study of structural parameterizations of the Matching Cut problem and some variants. Few other results, mostly on Longest Path and some generalizations of Matching Cut, have also been developed. However, little success has been seen in enumeration versions of Vertex Cover and Feedback Vertex Set, some of the most studied problems in kernelization. In this paper, we address this shortcoming. Our first result is a polynomial-delay enumeration kernel with 2k vertices for Enum Vertex Cover, where we wish to list all solutions with at most k vertices. This is obtained by developing a non-trivial lifting algorithm for the classical crown decomposition reduction rule, and directly improves upon the kernel with 𝒪(k²) vertices derived from the work of Creignou et al. Our other result is a polynomial-delay enumeration kernel with 𝒪(k³) vertices and edges for Enum Feedback Vertex Set; the proof is inspired by some ideas of Thomassé [TALG, 2010], but with a weaker bound on the kernel size due to difficulties in applying the q-expansion technique.
