Distributed Complexity of P_k-Freeness: Decision and Certification

Authors: Masayuki Miyamoto

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

Abstract
The class of graphs that do not contain a path on k nodes as an induced subgraph (P_k-free graphs) has rich applications in the theory of graph algorithms. This paper explores the problem of deciding P_k-freeness from the viewpoint of distributed computing. For specific small values of k, we present the first CONGEST algorithms specified for P_k-freeness, utilizing structural properties of P_k-free graphs in a novel way. Specifically, we show that P_k-freeness can be decided in Õ(1) rounds for k = 4 in the broadcast CONGEST model, and in Õ(n) rounds for k = 5 in the CONGEST model, where n is the number of nodes in the network and Õ(⋅) hides a polylog(n) factor. The main technical contribution is a novel technique used in our algorithm for P₅-freeness to distinguish induced 5-paths from non-induced ones, which is potentially applicable to other induced subgraphs. This technique also enables the construction of a local certification of P₅-freeness with certificates of size Õ(n). This improves Õ(n^{3/2}) by Bousquet and Zeitoun (TCS 2025), and is nearly optimal, given our Ω(n^{1-o(1)}) lower bound on certificate size. For general k, we establish the first CONGEST lower bound, which is of the form n^{2-1/Θ(k)}. The n^{1/Θ(k)} factor is unavoidable, in view of the O(n^{2-2/(3k+2)}) upper bound by Eden et al. (Dist. Comp. 2022). Additionally, our approach yields the first superlinear lower bound on certificate size for local certification. This partially answers the conjecture on the optimal certificate size of P_k-freeness, asked by Bousquet et al. (arXiv:2402.12148). Finally, we propose a novel variant of the problem called ordered P_k detection. We show that in the CONGEST model, the round complexity of ordered P_k detection is Ω̃(n) for k ≥ 5, and in contrast, proving any nontrivial lower bound for ordered P₃ detection implies a strong circuit lower bound. As a byproduct, we establish a circuit-complexity barrier for Ω(n^{1/2+ε}) quantum CONGEST lower bounds for induced 4-cycle detection. This is complemented by our Õ(n^{3/4}) quantum upper bound, which surpasses the classical Ω̃(n) lower bound by Le Gall and Miyamoto (ISAAC 2021).

The Complexity Landscape of Dynamic Distributed Subgraph Finding

Authors: Yi-Jun Chang, Lyuting Chen, Yanyu Chen, Gopinath Mishra, and Mingyang Yang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 356, 39th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2025)

Abstract
Bonne and Censor-Hillel (ICALP 2019) initiated the study of distributed subgraph finding in dynamic networks of limited bandwidth. For the case where the target subgraph is a clique, they determined the tight bandwidth complexity bounds in nearly all settings. However, several open questions remain, and very little is known about finding subgraphs beyond cliques. In this work, we consider these questions and explore subgraphs beyond cliques in the deterministic setting. For finding cliques, we establish an Ω(log log n) bandwidth lower bound for one-round membership-detection under edge insertions only and an Ω(log log log n) bandwidth lower bound for one-round detection under both edge insertions and node insertions. Moreover, we demonstrate new algorithms to show that our lower bounds are tight in bounded-degree networks when the target subgraph is a triangle. Prior to our work, no lower bounds were known for these problems. For finding subgraphs beyond cliques, we present a complete characterization of the bandwidth complexity of the membership-listing problem for every target subgraph, every number of rounds, and every type of topological change: node insertions, node deletions, edge insertions, and edge deletions. We also show partial characterizations for one-round membership-detection and listing.

Minimality and Computability of Languages of G-Shifts

Authors: Djamel Eddine Amir and Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
Motivated by the notion of strong computable type for sets in computable analysis, we define the notion of strong computable type for G-shifts, where G is a finitely generated group with decidable word problem. A G-shift has strong computable type if one can compute its language from the complement of its language. We obtain a characterization of G-shifts with strong computable type in terms of a notion of minimality with respect to properties with a bounded computational complexity. We provide a self-contained direct proof, and also explain how this characterization can be obtained from an existing similar characterization for sets by Amir and Hoyrup, and discuss its connexions with results by Jeandel on closure spaces. We apply this characterization to several classes of shifts that are minimal with respect to specific properties. This provides a unifying approach that not only generalizes many existing results but also has the potential to yield new findings effortlessly. In contrast to the case of sets, we prove that strong computable type for G-shifts is preserved under products. We conclude by discussing some generalizations and future directions.

Submonoid Membership in n-Dimensional Lamplighter Groups and S-Unit Equations

Authors: Ruiwen Dong

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
We show that Submonoid Membership is decidable in n-dimensional lamplighter groups (ℤ/pℤ) ≀ ℤⁿ for any prime p and integer n. More generally, we show decidability of Submonoid Membership in semidirect products of the form 𝒴 ⋊ ℤⁿ, where 𝒴 is any finitely presented module over the Laurent polynomial ring 𝔽_p[X₁^{±}, …, X_n^{±}]. Combined with a result of Shafrir (2024), this gives the first example of a group G and a finite index subgroup G̃ ≤ G, such that Submonoid Membership is decidable in G̃ but undecidable in G. To obtain our decidability result, we reduce Submonoid Membership in 𝒴 ⋊ ℤⁿ to solving S-unit equations over 𝔽_p[X₁^{±}, …, X_n^{±}]-modules. We show that the solution set of such equations is effectively p-automatic, extending a result of Adamczewski and Bell (2012). As an intermediate result, we also obtain that the solution set of the Knapsack Problem in 𝒴 ⋊ ℤⁿ is effectively p-automatic.

Density of Rational Languages Under Shift Invariant Measures

Authors: Valérie Berthé, Herman Goulet-Ouellet, and Dominique Perrin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
We study density of rational languages under shift invariant probability measures on spaces of two-sided infinite words, which generalizes the classical notion of density studied in formal languages and automata theory. The density for a language is defined as the limit in average (if it exists) of the probability that a word of a given length belongs to the language. We establish the existence of densities for all rational languages under all shift invariant measures. We also give explicit formulas under certain conditions, in particular when the language is aperiodic. Our approach combines tools and ideas from semigroup theory and ergodic theory.

Computability of Extender Sets in Multidimensional Subshifts

Authors: Antonin Callard, Léo Paviet Salomon, and Pascal Vanier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
Subshifts are sets of colorings of ℤ^d defined by families of forbidden patterns. Given a subshift and a finite pattern, its extender set is the set of admissible completions of this pattern. It has been conjectured that the behavior of extender sets, and in particular their growth called extender entropy [French and Pavlov, 2019], could provide a way to separate the classes of sofic and effective subshifts. We prove here that both classes have the same possible extender entropies: exactly the Π₃ real numbers of [0,+∞).

Subshifts Defined by Nondeterministic and Alternating Plane-Walking Automata

Authors: Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus and Pacôme Perrotin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
Plane-walking automata were introduced by Salo & Törma to recognise languages of two-dimensional infinite words (subshifts), the counterpart of 4-way finite automata for two-dimensional finite words. We extend the model to allow for nondeterminism and alternation of quantifiers. We prove that the recognised subshifts form a strict subclass of sofic subshifts, and that the classes corresponding to existential and universal nondeterminism are incomparable and both larger that the deterministic class. We define a hierarchy of subshifts recognised by plane-walking automata with alternating quantifiers, which we conjecture to be strict.

Quantum Simultaneous Protocols Without Public Coins Using Modified Equality Queries

Authors: François Le Gall, Oran Nadler, Harumichi Nishimura, and Rotem Oshman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 324, 28th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2024)

Abstract
In this paper we study a quantum version of the multiparty simultaneous message-passing (SMP) model, and we show that in some cases, quantum communication can replace public randomness, even with no entanglement between the parties. This was already known for two players, but not for more than two players, and indeed, so far all that was known was a negative result. Our main technical contribution is a compiler that takes any classical public-coin simultaneous protocol based on "modified equality queries," and converts it into a quantum simultaneous protocol without public coins with roughly the same communication complexity. We then use our compiler to derive protocols for several problems, including frequency moments, neighborhood diversity, enumeration of isolated cliques, and more.

What Can Oracles Teach Us About the Ultimate Fate of Life?

Authors: Ville Salo and Ilkka Törmä

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 229, 49th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2022)

Abstract
We settle two long-standing open problems about Conway’s Life, a two-dimensional cellular automaton. We solve the Generalized grandfather problem: for all n ≥ 0, there exists a configuration that has an nth predecessor but not an (n+1)st one. We also solve (one interpretation of) the Unique father problem: there exists a finite stable configuration that contains a finite subpattern that has no predecessor patterns except itself. In particular this gives the first example of an unsynthesizable still life. The new key concept is that of a spatiotemporally periodic configuration (agar) that has a unique chain of preimages; we show that this property is semidecidable, and find examples of such agars using a SAT solver. Our results about the topological dynamics of Game of Life are as follows: it never reaches its limit set; its dynamics on its limit set is chain-wandering, in particular it is not topologically transitive and does not have dense periodic points; and the spatial dynamics of its limit set is non-sofic, and does not admit a sublinear gluing radius in the cardinal directions (in particular it is not block-gluing). Our computability results are that Game of Life’s reachability problem, as well as the language of its limit set, are PSPACE-hard.

Von Neumann Regularity, Split Epicness and Elementary Cellular Automata

Authors: Ville Salo

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 90, 27th IFIP WG 1.5 International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems (AUTOMATA 2021)

Abstract
We show that a cellular automaton on a mixing subshift of finite type is a von Neumann regular element in the semigroup of cellular automata if and only if it is split epic onto its image in the category of sofic shifts and block maps. It follows from [S.-Törmä, 2015] that von Neumann regularity is decidable condition, and we decide it for all elementary CA.
