Total Search Problems in ZPP

Authors: Noah Fleming, Stefan Grosser, Siddhartha Jain, Jiawei Li, Hanlin Ren, Morgan Shirley, and Weiqiang Yuan

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

Abstract

We initiate a systematic study of TFZPP, the class of total NP search problems solvable by polynomial time randomized algorithms. TFZPP contains a variety of important search problems such as Bertrand-Chebyshev (finding a prime between N and 2N), refuter problems for many circuit lower bounds, and Lossy-Code. The Lossy-Code problem has found prominence due to its fundamental connections to derandomization, catalytic computing, and the metamathematics of complexity theory, among other areas. While TFZPP collapses to FP under standard derandomization assumptions in the white-box setting, we are able to separate TFZPP from the major TFNP subclasses in the black-box setting. In fact, we are able to separate it from every uniform TFNP class assuming that NP is not in quasi-polynomial time. To do so, we extend the connection between proof complexity and black-box TFNP to randomized proof systems and randomized reductions. Next, we turn to developing a taxonomy of TFZPP problems. We highlight a problem called Nephew, originating from an infinity axiom in set theory. We show that Nephew is in PWPP∩ TFZPP and conjecture that it is not reducible to Lossy-Code. Intriguingly, except for some artificial examples, most other black-box TFZPP problems that we are aware of reduce to Lossy-Code: - We define a problem called Empty-Child capturing finding a leaf in a rooted (binary) tree, and show that this problem is equivalent to Lossy-Code. We also show that a variant of Empty-Child with "heights" is complete for the intersection of SOPL and Lossy-Code. - We strengthen Lossy-Code with several combinatorial inequalities such as the AM-GM inequality. Somewhat surprisingly, we show the resulting new problems are still reducible to Lossy-Code. A technical highlight of this result is that they are proved by formalizations in bounded arithmetic, specifically in Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ (JSL 2007). - Finally, we show that the Dense-Linear-Ordering problem reduces to Lossy-Code.

Linear Matroid Intersection Is in Catalytic Logspace

Authors: Aryan Agarwala, Yaroslav Alekseev, and Antoine Vinciguerra

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

Abstract

Linear matroid intersection is an important problem in combinatorial optimization. Given two linear matroids over the same ground set, the linear matroid intersection problem asks you to find a common independent set of maximum size. The deep interest in linear matroid intersection is due to the fact that it generalises many classical problems in theoretical computer science, such as bipartite matching, edge disjoint spanning trees, rainbow spanning tree, and many more. We study this problem in the model of catalytic computation: space-bounded machines are granted access to catalytic space, which is additional working memory that is full with arbitrary data that must be preserved at the end of its computation. Although linear matroid intersection has had a polynomial time algorithm for over 50 years, it remains an important open problem to show that linear matroid intersection belongs to any well studied subclass of {P}. We address this problem for the class catalytic logspace (CL) with a polynomial time bound (CLP). Recently, Agarwala and Mertz (2025) showed that bipartite maximum matching can be computed in the class CLP ⊆ {P}. This was the first subclass of {P} shown to contain bipartite matching, and additionally the first problem outside TC¹ shown to be contained in CL. We significantly improve the result of Agarwala and Mertz by showing that linear matroid intersection can be computed in CLP.

Hardness of Range Avoidance and Proof Complexity Generators from Demi-Bits

Authors: Hanlin Ren, Yichuan Wang, and Yan Zhong

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

Abstract

Given a circuit G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m with m > n, the range avoidance problem (Avoid) asks to output a string y ∈ {0, 1}^m that is not in the range of G. Besides its profound connection to circuit complexity and explicit construction problems, this problem is also related to the existence of proof complexity generators - circuits G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m where m > n but for every y ∈ {0, 1}^m, it is infeasible to prove the statement "y ̸ ∈ Range(G)" in a given propositional proof system. This paper connects these two problems with the existence of demi-bits generators, a fundamental cryptographic primitive against nondeterministic adversaries introduced by Rudich (RANDOM '97). - We show that the existence of demi-bits generators implies Avoid is hard for nondeterministic algorithms. This resolves an open problem raised by Chen and Li (STOC '24). Furthermore, assuming the demi-hardness of certain LPN-style generators or Goldreich’s PRG, we prove the hardness of Avoid even when the instances are constant-degree polynomials over 𝔽₂. - We show that the dual weak pigeonhole principle is unprovable in Cook’s theory PV₁ under the existence of demi-bits generators secure against AM/_{O(1)}, thereby separating Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ from PV₁. Previously, Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) obtained the same separation under different (and arguably stronger) cryptographic assumptions. - We transform demi-bits generators to proof complexity generators that are pseudo-surjective in certain parameter regime. Pseudo-surjectivity is the strongest form of hardness considered in the literature for proof complexity generators. Our constructions are inspired by the recent breakthroughs on the hardness of Avoid by Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) and Chen and Li (STOC '24). We use randomness extractors to significantly simplify the construction and the proof.

Fooling Near-Maximal Decision Trees

Authors: William M. Hoza and Zelin Lv

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

Abstract

For any constant α > 0, we construct an explicit pseudorandom generator (PRG) that fools n-variate decision trees of size m with error ε and seed length (1 + α) ⋅ log₂ m + O(log(1/ε) + log log n). For context, one can achieve seed length (2 + o(1)) ⋅ log₂ m + O(log(1/ε) + log log n) using well-known constructions and analyses of small-bias distributions, but such a seed length is trivial when m ≥ 2^{n/2}. Our approach is to develop a new variant of the classic concept of almost k-wise independence, which might be of independent interest. We say that a distribution X over {0, 1}ⁿ is k-wise ε-probably uniform if every Boolean function f that depends on only k variables satisfies 𝔼[f(X)] ≥ (1 - ε) ⋅ 𝔼[f]. We show how to sample a k-wise ε-probably uniform distribution using a seed of length (1 + α) ⋅ k + O(log(1/ε) + log log n). Meanwhile, we also show how to construct a set H ⊆ 𝔽₂ⁿ such that every feasible system of k linear equations in n variables over 𝔽₂ has a solution in H. The cardinality of H and the time complexity of enumerating H are at most 2^{k + o(k) + polylog n}, whereas small-bias distributions would give a bound of 2^{2k + O(log(n/k))}. By combining our new constructions with work by Chen and Kabanets (TCS 2016), we obtain nontrivial PRGs and hitting sets for linear-size Boolean circuits. Specifically, we get an explicit PRG with seed length (1 - Ω(1)) ⋅ n that fools circuits of size 2.99 ⋅ n over the U₂ basis, and we get a hitting set with time complexity 2^{(1 - Ω(1)) ⋅ n} for circuits of size 2.49 ⋅ n over the B₂ basis.

Algorithmic Contiguity from Low-Degree Conjecture and Applications in Correlated Random Graphs

Authors: Zhangsong Li

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

Abstract

In this paper, assuming a natural strengthening of the low-degree conjecture, we provide evidence of computational hardness for two problems: (1) the (partial) matching recovery problem in the sparse correlated Erdős-Rényi graphs G(n,q;ρ) when the edge-density q = n^{-1+o(1)} and the correlation ρ < √{α} lies below the Otter’s threshold, this resolves a remaining problem in [Jian Ding et al., 2023]; (2) the detection problem between a pair of correlated sparse stochastic block model S(n,λ/n;k,ε;s) and a pair of independent stochastic block models S(n,λs/n;k,ε) when ε² λ s < 1 lies below the Kesten-Stigum (KS) threshold and s < √α lies below the Otter’s threshold, this resolves a remaining problem in [Guanyi Chen et al., 2024]. One of the main ingredient in our proof is to derive certain forms of algorithmic contiguity between two probability measures based on bounds on their low-degree advantage. To be more precise, consider the high-dimensional hypothesis testing problem between two probability measures ℙ and ℚ based on the sample Y. We show that if the low-degree advantage Adv_{≤D}(dℙ/dℚ) = O(1), then (assuming the low-degree conjecture) there is no efficient algorithm A such that ℚ(A(Y) = 0) = 1-o(1) and ℙ(A(Y) = 1) = Ω(1). This framework provides a useful tool for performing reductions between different inference tasks.

On Sums of INW Pseudorandom Generators

Authors: William M. Hoza and Zelin Lv

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

Abstract

We study a new approach for constructing pseudorandom generators (PRGs) that fool constant-width standard-order read-once branching programs (ROBPs). Let X be the n-bit output distribution of the INW PRG (Impagliazzo, Nisan, and Wigderson, STOC 1994), instantiated using expansion parameter λ. We prove that the bitwise XOR of t independent copies of X fools width-w programs with error n^{log(w + 1)} ⋅ (λ⋅log n)^t. Notably, this error bound is meaningful even for relatively large values of λ such as λ = 1/O(log n). Admittedly, our analysis does not yet imply any improvement in the bottom-line overall seed length required for fooling such programs - it just gives a new way of re-proving the well-known O(log² n) bound. Furthermore, we prove that this shortcoming is not an artifact of our analysis, but rather is an intrinsic limitation of our "XOR of INW" approach. That is, no matter how many copies of the INW generator we XOR together, and no matter how we set the expansion parameters, if the generator fools width-3 programs and the proof of correctness does not use any properties of the expander graphs except their spectral expansion, then we prove that the seed length of the generator is inevitably Ω(log² n). Still, we hope that our work might be a step toward constructing near-optimal PRGs fooling constant-width ROBPs. We suggest that one could try running the INW PRG on t correlated seeds, sampled via another PRG, and taking the bitwise XOR of the outputs.

Pseudorandomness of Expander Walks via Fourier Analysis on Groups

Authors: Fernando Granha Jeronimo, Tushant Mittal, and Sourya Roy

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

Abstract

A long line of work has studied the pseudorandomness properties of walks on expander graphs. A central goal is to measure how closely the distribution over n-length walks on an expander approximates the uniform distribution of n-independent elements. One approach to do so is to label the vertices of an expander with elements from an alphabet Σ, and study closeness of the mean of functions over Σⁿ, under these two distributions. We say expander walks ε-fool a function if the expander walk mean is ε-close to the true mean. There has been a sequence of works studying this question for various functions, such as the XOR function, the AND function, etc. We show that: - The class of symmetric functions is O(|Σ|λ)-fooled by expander walks over any generic λ-expander, and any alphabet Σ . This generalizes the result of Cohen, Peri, Ta-Shma [STOC'21] which analyzes it for |Σ| = 2, and exponentially improves the previous bound of O(|Σ|^O(|Σ|) λ), by Golowich and Vadhan [CCC'22]. Moreover, if the expander is a Cayley graph over ℤ_|Σ|, we get a further improved bound of O(√{|Σ|} λ). Morever, when Σ is a finite group G, we show the following for functions over Gⁿ: - The class of symmetric class functions is O({√|G|}/D λ}-fooled by expander walks over "structured" λ-expanders, if G is D-quasirandom. - We show a lower bound of Ω(λ) for symmetric functions for any finite group G (even for "structured" λ-expanders). - We study the Fourier spectrum of a class of non-symmetric functions arising from word maps, and show that they are exponentially fooled by expander walks. Our proof employs Fourier analysis over general groups, which contrasts with earlier works that have studied either the case of ℤ₂ or ℤ. This enables us to get quantitatively better bounds even for unstructured sets.

Maximum And- vs. Even-SAT

Authors: Tamio-Vesa Nakajima and Stanislav Živný

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

Abstract

A multiset of literals, called a clause, is strongly satisfied by an assignment if no literal evaluates to false. Finding an assignment that maximises the number of strongly satisfied clauses is NP-hard. We present a simple algorithm that finds, given a multiset of clauses that admits an assignment that strongly satisfies ρ of the clauses, an assignment in which at least ρ of the clauses are weakly satisfied, in the sense that an even number of literals evaluate to false. In particular, this implies an efficient algorithm for finding an undirected cut of value ρ in a graph G given that a directed cut of value ρ in G is promised to exist. A similar argument also gives an efficient algorithm for finding an acyclic subgraph of G with ρ edges under the same promise.

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.

On Finding Randomly Planted Cliques in Arbitrary Graphs

Authors: Francesco Agrimonti, Marco Bressan, and Tommaso d'Orsi

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

Abstract

We study a planted clique model introduced by Feige [Uriel Feige, 2021] where a complete graph of size c⋅ n is planted uniformly at random in an arbitrary n-vertex graph. We give a simple deterministic algorithm that, in almost linear time, recovers a clique of size (c/3)^O(1/c) ⋅ n as long as the original graph has maximum degree at most (1-p)n for some fixed p > 0. The proof hinges on showing that the degrees of the final graph are correlated with the planted clique, in a way similar to (but more intricate than) the classical G(n,1/2)+K_√n planted clique model. Our algorithm suggests a separation from the worst-case model, where, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, no polynomial algorithm can find cliques of size Ω(n) for every fixed c > 0, even if the input graph has maximum degree (1-p)n. Our techniques extend beyond the planted clique model. For example, when the planted graph is a balanced biclique, we recover a balanced biclique of size larger than the best guarantees known for the worst case.

On the Constant-Factor Approximability of Minimum Cost Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Authors: Ian DeHaan, Neng Huang, and Euiwoong Lee

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

Abstract

We study minimum cost constraint satisfaction problems (MinCostCSP) through the algebraic lens. We show that for any constraint language Γ which has the dual discriminator operation as a polymorphism, there exists a |D|-approximation algorithm for MinCostCSP(Γ) where D is the domain. Complementing our algorithmic result, we show that any constraint language Γ where MinCostCSP(Γ) admits a constant-factor approximation must have a near-unanimity (NU) polymorphism unless P = NP, extending a similar result by Dalmau et al. on MinCSPs. These results imply a dichotomy of constant-factor approximability for constraint languages that contain all permutation relations (a natural generalization for Boolean CSPs that allow variable negation): either MinCostCSP(Γ) has an NU polymorphism and is |D|-approximable, or it does not have any NU polymorphism and is NP-hard to approximate within any constant factor. Finally, we present a constraint language which has a majority polymorphism, but is nonetheless NP-hard to approximate within any constant factor assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, showing that the condition of having an NU polymorphism is in general not sufficient unless UGC fails.

Quantum Catalytic Space

Authors: Harry Buhrman, Marten Folkertsma, Ian Mertz, Florian Speelman, Sergii Strelchuk, Sathyawageeswar Subramanian, and Quinten Tupker

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

Abstract

Space complexity is a key field of study in theoretical computer science. In the quantum setting there are clear motivations to understand the power of space-restricted computation, as qubits are an especially precious and limited resource. Recently, a new branch of space-bounded complexity called catalytic computing has shown that reusing space is a very powerful computational resource, especially for subroutines that incur little to no space overhead. While quantum catalysis in an information theoretic context, and the power of "dirty" qubits for quantum computation, has been studied over the years, these models are generally not suitable for use in quantum space-bounded algorithms, as they either rely on specific catalytic states or destroy the memory being borrowed. We define the notion of catalytic computing in the quantum setting and show a number of initial results about the model. First, we show that quantum catalytic logspace can always be computed quantumly in polynomial time; the classical analogue of this is the largest open question in catalytic computing. This also allows quantum catalytic space to be defined in an equivalent way with respect to circuits instead of Turing machines. We also prove that quantum catalytic logspace can simulate log-depth threshold circuits, a class which is known to contain (and believed to strictly contain) quantum logspace, thus showcasing the power of quantum catalytic space. Finally we show that both unitary quantum catalytic logspace and classical catalytic logspace can be simulated in the one-clean qubit model.

Catalytic Computing and Register Programs Beyond Log-Depth

Authors: Yaroslav Alekseev, Yuval Filmus, Ian Mertz, Alexander Smal, and Antoine Vinciguerra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract

In a seminal work, Buhrman et al. (STOC 2014) defined the class CSPACE(s,c) of problems solvable in space s with an additional catalytic tape of size c, which is a tape whose initial content must be restored at the end of the computation. They showed that uniform TC¹ circuits are computable in catalytic logspace, i.e., CL = CSPACE(O(log{n}), 2^{O(log{n})}), thus giving strong evidence that catalytic space gives L strict additional power. Their study focuses on an arithmetic model called register programs, which has been a focal point in development since then. Understanding CL remains a major open problem, as TC¹ remains the most powerful containment to date. In this work, we study the power of catalytic space and register programs to compute circuits of larger depth. Using register programs, we show that for every ε > 0, SAC² ⊆ CSPACE (O((log²n)/(log log n)), 2^{O(log^{1+ε} n)}) . On the other hand, we know that SAC² ⊆ TC² ⊆ CSPACE(O(log²{n}) , 2^{O(log{n})}). Our result thus shows an O(log log n) factor improvement on the free space needed to compute SAC², at the expense of a nearly-polynomial-sized catalytic tape. We also exhibit non-trivial register programs for matrix powering, which is a further step towards showing NC² ⊆ CL.

A Lower Bound for k-DNF Resolution on Random CNF Formulas via Expansion

Authors: Anastasia Sofronova and Dmitry Sokolov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 339, 40th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2025)

Abstract

Random Δ-CNF formulas are one of the few candidates that are expected to be hard for proof systems and SAT algotirhms. Assume we sample m clauses over n variables. Here, the main complexity parameter is clause density, χ := m/n. For a fixed Δ, there exists a satisfiability threshold c_Δ such that for χ > c_Δ a formula is unsatisfiable with high probability. and for χ < c_Δ it is satisfiable with high probability. Near satisfiability threshold, there are various lower bounds for algorithms and proof systems [Eli Ben-Sasson, 2001; Eli Ben-Sasson and Russell Impagliazzo, 1999; Michael Alekhnovich and Alexander A. Razborov, 2003; Dima Grigoriev, 2001; Grant Schoenebeck, 2008; Pavel Hrubes and Pavel Pudlák, 2017; Noah Fleming et al., 2017; Dmitry Sokolov, 2024], and for high-density regimes, there exist upper bounds [Uriel Feige et al., 2006; Sebastian Müller and Iddo Tzameret, 2014; Jackson Abascal et al., 2021; Venkatesan Guruswami et al., 2022]. One of the frontiers in the direction of proving lower bounds on these formulas is the k-DNF Resolution proof system (aka Res(k)). There are several known results for k = 𝒪(√{log n}/{log log n}}) [Nathan Segerlind et al., 2004; Michael Alekhnovich, 2011], that are applicable only for density regime near the threshold. In this paper, we show the first Res(k) lower bound that is applicable in higher-density regimes. Our results work for slightly larger k = 𝒪(√{log n}).

Switching Graph Matrix Norm Bounds: From i.i.d. to Random Regular Graphs

Authors: Jeff Xu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 339, 40th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2025)

Abstract

In this work, we give novel spectral norm bounds for graph matrix on inputs being random regular graphs. Graph matrix is a family of random matrices with entries given by polynomial functions of the underlying input. These matrices have been known to be the backbone for the analysis of various average-case algorithms and hardness. Previous investigations of such matrices are largely restricted to the Erdős-Rényi model, and tight matrix norm bounds on regular graphs are only known for specific examples. We unite these two lines of investigations, and give the first result departing from the Erdős-Rényi setting in the full generality of graph matrices. We believe our norm bound result would enable a simple transfer of spectral analysis for average-case algorithms and hardness between these two distributions of random graphs. As an application of our spectral norm bounds, we show that higher-degree Sum-of-Squares lower bounds for the independent set problem on Erdős-Rényi random graphs can be switched into lower bounds on random d-regular graphs. Our main conceptual insight is that existing Sum-of-Squares lower bounds analysis based on moment methods are surprisingly robust, and amenable for a light-weight translation. Our result is the first to address the general open question of analyzing higher-degree Sum-of-Squares on random regular graphs.
