Precoloring Extension with Demands on Paths

Authors: Arun Kumar Das, Michal Opler, and Tomáš Valla

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

Abstract
Let G be a graph with a set of precolored vertices, and let us be given an integer distance parameter d and a set of integer demands d₁,… ,d_c. The Distance Precoloring Extension with Demands (DPED) problem is to compute a vertex c-coloring of G such that the following three conditions hold: (i) the resulting coloring respects the colors of the precolored vertices, (ii) the distance of two vertices of the same color is at least d, and (iii) the number of vertices colored by color i is exactly d_i. This problem is motivated by a program scheduling in commercial broadcast channels with constraints on content repetition and placement, which leads precisely to the DPED problem for paths. In this paper, we study DPED on paths and present a polynomial time exact algorithm when precolored vertices are restricted to the two ends of the path and devise an approximation algorithm for DPED with an additive approximation factor polynomially bounded by d and the number of precolored vertices. Then, we prove that the Distance Precoloring Extension problem on paths, a less restrictive version of DPED without the demand constraints, and then DPED itself, is NP-complete. Motivated by this result, we further study the parameterized complexity of DPED on paths. We establish that the DPED problem on paths is W[1]-hard when parameterized by the number of colors and the distance. On the positive side, we devise a fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm for DPED on paths when the number of colors, the distance, and the number of precolored vertices are considered as the parameters. Moreover, we prove that Distance Precoloring Extension is FPT parameterized by the distance. As a byproduct, we also obtain several results for the Distance List Coloring problem on paths.

Pathfinding in Self-Deleting Graphs

Authors: Michal Dvořák, Dušan Knop, Michal Opler, Jan Pokorný, Ondřej Suchý, and Krisztina Szilágyi

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

Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of pathfinding on traversal-dependent graphs, i.e., graphs whose edges change depending on the previously visited vertices. In particular, we study self-deleting graphs, introduced by Carmesin et al. [Sarah Carmesin et al., 2023], which consist of a graph G = (V, E) and a function f: V → 2^E, where f(v) is the set of edges that will be deleted after visiting the vertex v. In the (Shortest) Self-Deleting s-t-path problem we are given a self-deleting graph and its vertices s and t, and we are asked to find a (shortest) path from s to t, such that it does not traverse an edge in f(v) after visiting v for any vertex v. We prove that Self-Deleting s-t-path is NP-hard even if the given graph is outerplanar, bipartite, has maximum degree 3, bandwidth 2 and |f(v)| ≤ 1 for each vertex v. We show that Shortest Self-Deleting s-t-path is W[1]-complete parameterized by the length of the sought path and that Self-Deleting s-t-path is W[1]-complete parameterized by the vertex cover number, feedback vertex set number and treedepth. We also show that the problem becomes FPT when we parameterize by the maximum size of f(v) and several structural parameters. Lastly, we show that the problem does not admit a polynomial kernel even for parameterization by the vertex cover number and the maximum size of f(v) combined already on 2-outerplanar graphs.

Optimal Antimatroid Sorting

Authors: Benjamin Aram Berendsohn

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

Abstract
The classical comparison-based sorting problem asks us to find the underlying total ordering of a given set of elements, where we can only access the elements via comparisons. In this paper, we study a restricted version, where, as a hint, a set T of possible total orderings is given, usually in some compressed form. Recently, an algorithm called topological heapsort with optimal running time was found for case where T is the set of topological orderings of a given directed acyclic graph, or, equivalently, T is the set of linear extensions of a partial ordering [Haeupler et al. 2024]. We show that a simple generalization of topological heapsort is applicable to a much broader class of restricted sorting problems, where T corresponds to a given antimatroid. As a consequence, we obtain optimal algorithms for the following restricted sorting problems, where the allowed total orders are … - … restricted by a given set of monotone precedence formulas; - … the perfect elimination orders of a given chordal graph; or - … the possible vertex search orders of a given connected rooted graph.

Routing Few Robots in a Crowded Network

Authors: Argyrios Deligkas, Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Iyad Kanj, Dominik Leko, and M. S. Ramanujan

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

Abstract
In Graph Coordinated Motion Planning, we are given a graph G some of whose vertices are occupied by robots, and we are asked to route k marked robots to their destinations while avoiding collisions and without exceeding a given budget 𝓁 on the number of robot moves. We continue the recent investigation of the problem [ICALP 2024], focusing on the parameter k that captures the task of routing a small number of robots in a possibly crowded graph. We prove that the problem is W[1]-hard parameterized by 𝓁 even for k = 1, but fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k plus the treedepth of G. We complement the latter algorithm with an NP-hardness reduction which shows that both parameters are necessary to achieve tractability.

A Minor-Testing Approach for Coordinated Motion Planning with Sliding Robots

Authors: Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Iyad Kanj, and M. S. Ramanujan

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

Abstract
We study a variant of the Coordinated Motion Planning problem on undirected graphs, referred to herein as the Coordinated Sliding-Motion Planning (CSMP) problem. In this variant, we are given an undirected graph G, k robots R₁,… ,R_k positioned on distinct vertices of G, p ≤ k distinct destination vertices for robots R₁,… ,R_p, and 𝓁 ∈ ℕ. The problem is to decide if there is a serial schedule of at most 𝓁 moves (i.e., of makespan 𝓁) such that at the end of the schedule each robot with a destination reaches it, where a robot’s move is a free path (unoccupied by any robots) from its current position to an unoccupied vertex. The problem is known to be NP-hard even on full grids. It has been studied in several contexts, including coin movement and reconfiguration problems, with respect to feasibility, complexity, and approximation. Geometric variants of the problem, in which congruent geometric-shape robots (e.g., unit disk/squares) slide or translate in the Euclidean plane, have also been studied extensively. We investigate the parameterized complexity of CSMP with respect to two parameters: the number k of robots and the makespan 𝓁. As our first result, we present a fixed-parameter algorithm for CSMP parameterized by k. For our second result, we present a fixed-parameter algorithm parameterized by 𝓁 for the special case of CSMP in which only a single robot has a destination and the graph is planar. A crucial new ingredient for both of our results is that the solution admits a succinct representation as a small labeled topological minor of the input graph.

Long Paths Make Pattern-Counting Hard, and Deep Trees Make It Harder

Authors: Vít Jelínek, Michal Opler, and Jakub Pekárek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 214, 16th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2021)

Abstract
We study the counting problem known as #PPM, whose input is a pair of permutations π and τ (called pattern and text, respectively), and the task is to find the number of subsequences of τ that have the same relative order as π. A simple brute-force approach solves #PPM for a pattern of length k and a text of length n in time O(n^{k+1}), while Berendsohn, Kozma and Marx have recently shown that under the exponential time hypothesis (ETH), it cannot be solved in time f(k) n^{o(k/log k)} for any function f. In this paper, we consider the restriction of #PPM, known as 𝒞-Pattern #PPM, where the pattern π must belong to a hereditary permutation class 𝒞. Our goal is to identify the structural properties of 𝒞 that determine the complexity of 𝒞-Pattern #PPM. We focus on two such structural properties, known as the long path property (LPP) and the deep tree property (DTP). Assuming ETH, we obtain these results: 1) If 𝒞 has the LPP, then 𝒞-Pattern #PPM cannot be solved in time f(k)n^{o(√k)} for any function f, and 2) if 𝒞 has the DTP, then 𝒞-Pattern #PPM cannot be solved in time f(k)n^{o(k/log² k)} for any function f. Furthermore, when 𝒞 is one of the so-called monotone grid classes, we show that if 𝒞 has the LPP but not the DTP, then 𝒞-Pattern #PPM can be solved in time f(k)n^{O(√ k)}. In particular, the lower bounds above are tight up to the polylog terms in the exponents.

Griddings of Permutations and Hardness of Pattern Matching

Authors: Vít Jelínek, Michal Opler, and Jakub Pekárek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 202, 46th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2021)

Abstract
We study the complexity of the decision problem known as Permutation Pattern Matching, or PPM. The input of PPM consists of a pair of permutations τ (the "text") and π (the "pattern"), and the goal is to decide whether τ contains π as a subpermutation. On general inputs, PPM is known to be NP-complete by a result of Bose, Buss and Lubiw. In this paper, we focus on restricted instances of PPM where the text is assumed to avoid a fixed (small) pattern σ; this restriction is known as Av(σ)-PPM. It has been previously shown that Av(σ)-PPM is polynomial for any σ of size at most 3, while it is NP-hard for any σ containing a monotone subsequence of length four. In this paper, we present a new hardness reduction which allows us to show, in a uniform way, that Av(σ)-PPM is hard for every σ of size at least 6, for every σ of size 5 except the symmetry class of 41352, as well as for every σ symmetric to one of the three permutations 4321, 4312 and 4231. Moreover, assuming the exponential time hypothesis, none of these hard cases of Av(σ)-PPM can be solved in time 2^o(n/log n). Previously, such conditional lower bound was not known even for the unconstrained PPM problem. On the tractability side, we combine the CSP approach of Guillemot and Marx with the structural results of Huczynska and Vatter to show that for any monotone-griddable permutation class 𝒞, PPM is polynomial when the text is restricted to a permutation from 𝒞.

A Complexity Dichotomy for Permutation Pattern Matching on Grid Classes

Authors: Vít Jelínek, Michal Opler, and Jakub Pekárek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 170, 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2020)

Abstract
Permutation Pattern Matching (PPM) is the problem of deciding for a given pair of permutations π and τ whether the pattern π is contained in the text τ. Bose, Buss and Lubiw showed that PPM is NP-complete. In view of this result, it is natural to ask how the situation changes when we restrict the pattern π to a fixed permutation class 𝒞; this is known as the 𝒞-Pattern PPM problem. There have been several results in this direction, namely the work of Jelínek and Kynčl who completely resolved the hardness of 𝒞-Pattern PPM when 𝒞 is taken to be the class of σ-avoiding permutations for some σ. Grid classes are special kind of permutation classes, consisting of permutations admitting a grid-like decomposition into simpler building blocks. Of particular interest are the so-called monotone grid classes, in which each building block is a monotone sequence. Recently, it has been discovered that grid classes, especially the monotone ones, play a fundamental role in the understanding of the structure of general permutation classes. This motivates us to study the hardness of 𝒞-Pattern PPM for a (monotone) grid class 𝒞. We provide a complexity dichotomy for 𝒞-Pattern PPM when 𝒞 is taken to be a monotone grid class. Specifically, we show that the problem is polynomial-time solvable if a certain graph associated with 𝒞, called the cell graph, is a forest, and it is NP-complete otherwise. We further generalize our results to grid classes whose blocks belong to classes of bounded grid-width. We show that the 𝒞-Pattern PPM for such a grid class 𝒞 is polynomial-time solvable if the cell graph of 𝒞 avoids a cycle or a certain special type of path, and it is NP-complete otherwise.

Generalized Coloring of Permutations

Authors: Vít Jelínek, Michal Opler, and Pavel Valtr

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 112, 26th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2018)

Abstract
A permutation pi is a merge of a permutation sigma and a permutation tau, if we can color the elements of pi red and blue so that the red elements have the same relative order as sigma and the blue ones as tau. We consider, for fixed hereditary permutation classes C and D, the complexity of determining whether a given permutation pi is a merge of an element of C with an element of D. We develop general algorithmic approaches for identifying polynomially tractable cases of merge recognition. Our tools include a version of nondeterministic logspace streaming recognizability of permutations, which we introduce, and a concept of bounded width decomposition, inspired by the work of Ahal and Rabinovich. As a consequence of the general results, we can provide nontrivial examples of tractable permutation merges involving commonly studied permutation classes, such as the class of layered permutations, the class of separable permutations, or the class of permutations avoiding a decreasing sequence of a given length. On the negative side, we obtain a general hardness result which implies, for example, that it is NP-complete to recognize the permutations that can be merged from two subpermutations avoiding the pattern 2413.
