Parameterized Complexity of MinCSP over the Point Algebra

Authors: George Osipov, Marcin Pilipczuk, and Magnus Wahlström

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)


Abstract
The input in the Minimum-Cost Constraint Satisfaction Problem (MinCSP) over the Point Algebra contains a set of variables, a collection of constraints of the form x < y, x = y, x ≤ y and x ≠ y, and a budget k. The goal is to check whether it is possible to assign rational values to the variables while breaking constraints of total cost at most k. This problem generalizes several prominent graph separation and transversal problems: - MinCSP({<}) is equivalent to Directed Feedback Arc Set, - MinCSP({< , ≤}) is equivalent to Directed Subset Feedback Arc Set, - MinCSP({= ,≠}) is equivalent to Edge Multicut, and - MinCSP({≤ ,≠}) is equivalent to Directed Symmetric Multicut. Apart from trivial cases, MinCSP({Γ}) for Γ ⊆ {< , = , ≤ ,≠} is NP-hard even to approximate within any constant factor under the Unique Games Conjecture. Hence, we study parameterized complexity of this problem under a natural parameterization by the solution cost k. We obtain a complete classification: if Γ ⊆ {< , = , ≤ ,≠} contains both ≤ and ≠, then MinCSP({Γ}) is W[1]-hard, otherwise it is fixed-parameter tractable. For the positive cases, we solve MinCSP({< , = ,≠}), generalizing the FPT results for Directed Feedback Arc Set and Edge Multicut as well as their weighted versions. Our algorithm works by reducing the problem into a Boolean MinCSP, which is in turn solved by flow augmentation. For the lower bounds, we prove that Directed Symmetric Multicut is W[1]-hard, solving an open problem.

Nominal Tree Automata with Name Allocation

Authors: Simon Prucker and Lutz Schröder

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)


Abstract
Data trees serve as an abstraction of structured data, such as XML documents. A number of specification formalisms for languages of data trees have been developed, many of them adhering to the paradigm of register automata, which is based on storing data values encountered on the tree in registers for subsequent comparison with further data values. Already on word languages, the expressiveness of such automata models typically increases with the power of control (e.g. deterministic, non-deterministic, alternating). Language inclusion is typically undecidable for non-deterministic or alternating models unless the number of registers is radically restricted, and even then often remains non-elementary. We present an automaton model for data trees that retains a reasonable level of expressiveness, in particular allows non-determinism and any number of registers, while admitting language inclusion checking in elementary complexity, in fact in parametrized exponential time. We phrase the description of our automaton model in the language of nominal sets, building on the recently introduced paradigm of explicit name allocation in nominal automata.

Generalized Completion Problems with Forbidden Tournaments

Authors: Zeno Bitter and Antoine Mottet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)


Abstract
A recent result by Bodirsky and Guzmán-Pro gives a complexity dichotomy for the following class of computational problems, parametrized by a finite family F of finite tournaments: given an undirected graph, does there exist an orientation of the graph that avoids every tournament in F? One can see the edges of the input graphs as constraints imposing to find an orientation. In this paper, we consider a more general version of this problem where the constraints in the input are not necessarily about pairs of variables and impose local constraints on the global oriented graph to be found. Our main result is a complexity dichotomy for such problems, as well as a classification of such problems where the yes-instances have bounded treewidth duality. As a consequence, we obtain a streamlined proof of the result by Bodirsky and Guzmán-Pro using the theory of smooth approximations due to Mottet and Pinsker.

An Order out of Nowhere: A New Algorithm for Infinite-Domain {CSP}s

Authors: Antoine Mottet, Tomáš Nagy, and Michael Pinsker

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
We consider the problem of satisfiability of sets of constraints in a given set of finite uniform hypergraphs. While the problem under consideration is similar in nature to the problem of satisfiability of constraints in graphs, the classical complexity reduction to finite-domain CSPs that was used in the proof of the complexity dichotomy for such problems cannot be used as a black box in our case. We therefore introduce an algorithmic technique inspired by classical notions from the theory of finite-domain CSPs, and prove its correctness based on symmetries that depend on a linear order that is external to the structures under consideration. Our second main result is a P/NP-complete complexity dichotomy for such problems over many sets of uniform hypergraphs. The proof is based on the translation of the problem into the framework of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) over infinite uniform hypergraphs. Our result confirms in particular the Bodirsky-Pinsker conjecture for CSPs of first-order reducts of some homogeneous hypergraphs. This forms a vast generalization of previous work by Bodirsky-Pinsker (STOC'11) and Bodirsky-Martin-Pinsker-Pongrácz (ICALP'16) on graph satisfiability.

Homogeneity and Homogenizability: Hard Problems for the Logic SNP

Authors: Jakub Rydval

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
The infinite-domain CSP dichotomy conjecture extends the finite-domain CSP dichotomy theorem to reducts of finitely bounded homogeneous structures. Every countable finitely bounded homogeneous structure is uniquely described by a universal first-order sentence up to isomorphism, and every reduct of such a structure by a sentence of the logic SNP. By Fraïssé’s Theorem, testing the existence of a finitely bounded homogeneous structure for a given universal first-order sentence is equivalent to testing the amalgamation property for the class of its finite models. The present paper motivates a complexity-theoretic view on the classification problem for finitely bounded homogeneous structures. We show that this meta-problem is EXPSPACE-hard or PSPACE-hard, depending on whether the input is specified by a universal sentence or a set of forbidden substructures. By relaxing the input to SNP sentences and the question to the existence of a structure with a finitely bounded homogeneous expansion, we obtain a different meta-problem, closely related to the question of homogenizability. We show that this second meta-problem is already undecidable, even if the input SNP sentence comes from the Datalog fragment and uses at most binary relation symbols. As a byproduct of our proof, we also get the undecidability of some other properties for Datalog programs, e.g., whether they can be rewritten in the logic MMSNP, whether they solve some finite-domain CSP, or whether they define a structure with a homogeneous Ramsey expansion in a finite relational signature.

Promise and Infinite-Domain Constraint Satisfaction

Authors: Antoine Mottet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 288, 32nd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2024)


Abstract
Two particularly active branches of research in constraint satisfaction are the study of promise constraint satisfaction problems (PCSPs) with finite templates and the study of infinite-domain constraint satisfaction problems with ω-categorical templates. In this paper, we explore some connections between these two hitherto unrelated fields and describe a general approach to studying the complexity of PCSPs by constructing suitable infinite CSP templates. As a result, we obtain new characterizations of the power of various classes of algorithms for PCSPs, such as first-order logic, arc consistency reductions, and obtain new proofs of the characterizations of the power of the classical linear and affine relaxations for PCSPs.

New Techniques for Universality in Unambiguous Register Automata

Authors: Wojciech Czerwiński, Antoine Mottet, and Karin Quaas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 198, 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2021)


Abstract
Register automata are finite automata equipped with a finite set of registers ranging over the domain of some relational structure like (ℕ; =) or (ℚ; <). Register automata process words over the domain, and along a run of the automaton, the registers can store data from the input word for later comparisons. It is long known that the universality problem, i.e., the problem to decide whether a given register automaton accepts all words over the domain, is undecidable. Recently, we proved the problem to be decidable in 2-ExpSpace if the register automaton under study is over (ℕ; =) and unambiguous, i.e., every input word has at most one accepting run; this result was shortly after improved to 2-ExpTime by Barloy and Clemente. In this paper, we go one step further and prove that the problem is in ExpSpace, and in PSpace if the number of registers is fixed. Our proof is based on new techniques that additionally allow us to show that the problem is in PSpace for single-register automata over (ℚ; <). As a third technical contribution we prove that the problem is decidable (in ExpSpace) for a more expressive model of unambiguous register automata, where the registers can take values nondeterministically, if defined over (ℕ; =) and only one register is used.

Smooth Approximations and Relational Width Collapses

Authors: Antoine Mottet, Tomáš Nagy, Michael Pinsker, and Michał Wrona

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 198, 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2021)


Abstract
We prove that relational structures admitting specific polymorphisms (namely, canonical pseudo-WNU operations of all arities n ≥ 3) have low relational width. This implies a collapse of the bounded width hierarchy for numerous classes of infinite-domain CSPs studied in the literature. Moreover, we obtain a characterization of bounded width for first-order reducts of unary structures and a characterization of MMSNP sentences that are equivalent to a Datalog program, answering a question posed by Bienvenu et al.. In particular, the bounded width hierarchy collapses in those cases as well.

Hrushovski’s Encoding and ω-Categorical CSP Monsters

Authors: Pierre Gillibert, Julius Jonušas, Michael Kompatscher, Antoine Mottet, and Michael Pinsker

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)


Abstract
We produce a class of ω-categorical structures with finite signature by applying a model-theoretic construction - a refinement of an encoding due to Hrushosvki - to ω-categorical structures in a possibly infinite signature. We show that the encoded structures retain desirable algebraic properties of the original structures, but that the constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) associated with these structures can be badly behaved in terms of computational complexity. This method allows us to systematically generate ω-categorical templates whose CSPs are complete for a variety of complexity classes of arbitrarily high complexity, and ω-categorical templates that show that membership in any given complexity class cannot be expressed by a set of identities on the polymorphisms. It moreover enables us to prove that recent results about the relevance of topology on polymorphism clones of ω-categorical structures also apply for CSP templates, i.e., structures in a finite language. Finally, we obtain a concrete algebraic criterion which could constitute a description of the delineation between tractability and NP-hardness in the dichotomy conjecture for first-order reducts of finitely bounded homogeneous structures.

Relational Width of First-Order Expansions of Homogeneous Graphs with Bounded Strict Width

Authors: Michał Wrona

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 154, 37th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2020)


Abstract
Solving the algebraic dichotomy conjecture for constraint satisfaction problems over structures first-order definable in countably infinite finitely bounded homogeneous structures requires understanding the applicability of local-consistency methods in this setting. We study the amount of consistency (measured by relational width) needed to solve CSP(?) for first-order expansions ? of countably infinite homogeneous graphs ℋ := (A; E), which happen all to be finitely bounded. We study our problem for structures ? that additionally have bounded strict width, i.e., for which establishing local consistency of an instance of CSP(?) not only decides if there is a solution but also ensures that every solution may be obtained from a locally consistent instance by greedily assigning values to variables, without backtracking. Our main result is that the structures ? under consideration have relational width exactly (2, ?_ℋ) where ?_ℋ is the maximal size of a forbidden subgraph of ℋ, but not smaller than 3. It beats the upper bound: (2 m, 3 m) where m = max(arity(?)+1, ?, 3) and arity(?) is the largest arity of a relation in ?, which follows from a sufficient condition implying bounded relational width given in [Manuel Bodirsky and Antoine Mottet, 2018]. Since ?_ℋ may be arbitrarily large, our result contrasts the collapse of the relational bounded width hierarchy for finite structures ?, whose relational width, if finite, is always at most (2,3).

The Containment Problem for Unambiguous Register Automata

Authors: Antoine Mottet and Karin Quaas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 126, 36th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2019)


Abstract
We investigate the complexity of the containment problem "Does L(A)subseteq L(B) hold?", where B is an unambiguous register automaton and A is an arbitrary register automaton. We prove that the problem is decidable and give upper bounds on the computational complexity in the general case, and when B is restricted to have a fixed number of registers.

The Complexity of Disjunctive Linear Diophantine Constraints

Authors: Manuel Bodirsky, Barnaby Martin, Marcello Mamino, and Antoine Mottet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)


Abstract
We study the Constraint Satisfaction Problem CSP( A), where A is first-order definable in (Z;+,1) and contains +. We prove such problems are either in P or NP-complete.
