Walking on Words

Authors: Ian Pratt-Hartmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract

Any function f with domain {1, … , m} and co-domain {1, … , n} induces a natural map from words of length n to those of length m: the ith letter of the output word (1 ≤ i ≤ m) is given by the f(i)th letter of the input word. We study this map in the case where f is a surjection satisfying the condition |f(i+1)-f(i)| ≤ 1 for 1 ≤ i < m. Intuitively, we think of f as describing a "walk" on a word u, visiting every position, and yielding a word w as the sequence of letters encountered en route. If such an f exists, we say that u generates w. Call a word primitive if it is not generated by any word shorter than itself. We show that every word has, up to reversal, a unique primitive generator. Observing that, if a word contains a non-trivial palindrome, it can generate the same word via essentially different walks, we obtain conditions under which, for a chosen pair of walks f and g, those walks yield the same word when applied to a given primitive word. Although the original impulse for studying primitive generators comes from their application to decision procedures in logic, we end, by way of further motivation, with an analysis of the primitive generators for certain word sequences defined via morphisms.

Generating Verified LLVM from Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Peter Lammich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract

We present a framework to generate verified LLVM programs from Isabelle/HOL. It is based on a code generator that generates LLVM text from a simplified fragment of LLVM, shallowly embedded into Isabelle/HOL. On top, we have developed a separation logic, a verification condition generator, and an LLVM backend to the Isabelle Refinement Framework. As case studies, we have produced verified LLVM implementations of binary search and the Knuth-Morris-Pratt string search algorithm. These are one order of magnitude faster than the Standard-ML implementations produced with the original Refinement Framework, and on par with unverified C implementations. Adoption of the original correctness proofs to the new LLVM backend was straightforward. The trusted code base of our approach is the shallow embedding of the LLVM fragment and the code generator, which is a pretty printer combined with some straightforward compilation steps.

Time-Space Trade-offs for Triangulating a Simple Polygon

Authors: Boris Aronov, Matias Korman, Simon Pratt, André van Renssen, and Marcel Roeloffzen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 53, 15th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2016)

Abstract

An s-workspace algorithm is an algorithm that has read-only access to the values of the input, write-only access to the output, and only uses O(s) additional words of space. We give a randomized s-workspace algorithm for triangulating a simple polygon P of n vertices, for any s up to n. The algorithm runs in O(n^2/s+n(log s)log^5(n/s)) expected time using O(s) variables, for any s up to n. In particular, the algorithm runs in O(n^2/s) expected time for most values of s.

Two Approaches to Building Time-Windowed Geometric Data Structures

Authors: Timothy M. Chan and Simon Pratt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 51, 32nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2016)

Abstract

Given a set of geometric objects each associated with a time value, we wish to determine whether a given property is true for a subset of those objects whose time values fall within a query time window. We call such problems time-windowed decision problems, and they have been the subject of much recent attention, for instance studied by Bokal, Cabello, and Eppstein [SoCG 2015]. In this paper, we present new approaches to this class of problems that are conceptually simpler than Bokal et al.'s, and also lead to faster algorithms. For instance, we present algorithms for preprocessing for the time-windowed 2D diameter decision problem in O(n log n) time and the time-windowed 2D convex hull area decision problem in O(n alpha(n) log n) time (where alpha is the inverse Ackermann function), improving Bokal et al.'s O(n log^2 n) and O(n log n loglog n) solutions respectively. Our first approach is to reduce time-windowed decision problems to a generalized range successor problem, which we solve using a novel way to search range trees. Our other approach is to use dynamic data structures directly, taking advantage of a new observation that the total number of combinatorial changes to a planar convex hull is near linear for any FIFO update sequence, in which deletions occur in the same order as insertions. We also apply these approaches to obtain the first O(n polylog n) algorithms for the time-windowed 3D diameter decision and 2D orthogonal segment intersection detection problems.
