Abstract
Given $N$ instances $(X_1,t_1),\ldots,(X_N,t_N)$ of Subset Sum, the AND Subset Sum problem asks to determine whether all of these instances are yes-instances; that is, whether each set of integers $X_i$ has a subset that sums up to the target integer $t_i$. We prove that this problem cannot be solved in time $\tilde{O}((N \cdot t_{max})^{1-\epsilon})$, for $t_{max}=\max_i t_i$ and any $\epsilon > 0$, assuming the $\forall \exists$ Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis ($\forall \exists$-SETH). We then use this result to exclude $\tilde{O}(n+P_{max} \cdot n^{1-\epsilon})$-time algorithms for several scheduling problems on $n$ jobs with maximum processing time $P_{max}$, based on $\forall \exists$-SETH. These include classical problems such as $1||\sum w_jU_j$, the problem of minimizing the total weight of tardy jobs on a single machine, and $P_2||\sum U_j$, the problem of minimizing the number of tardy jobs on two identical parallel machines.

Abstract
We investigate how the complexity of Euclidean TSP for point sets $P$ inside the strip $(-\infty,+\infty)\times [0,\delta]$ depends on the strip width $\delta$. We obtain two main results. First, for the case where the points have distinct integer $x$-coordinates, we prove that a shortest bitonic tour (which can be computed in $O(n\log^2 n)$ time using an existing algorithm) is guaranteed to be a shortest tour overall when $\delta\leq 2\sqrt{2}$, a bound which is best possible. Second, we present an algorithm that is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to $\delta$. More precisely, our algorithm has running time $2^{O(\sqrt{\delta})} n^2$ for sparse point sets, where each $1\times\delta$ rectangle inside the strip contains $O(1)$ points. For random point sets, where the points are chosen uniformly at random from the rectangle~$[0,n]\times [0,\delta]$, it has an expected running time of $2^{O(\sqrt{\delta})} n^2 + O(n^3)$.

Abstract
The dominating set problem and its generalization, the distance-$r$ dominating set problem, are among the well-studied problems in the sequential settings. In distributed models of computation, unlike for domination, not much is known about distance-r domination. This is actually the case for other important closely-related covering problem, namely, the distance-$r$ independent set problem. By result of Kuhn et al. we know the distributed domination problem is hard on high girth graphs; we study the problem on a slightly restricted subclass of these graphs: graphs of bounded expansion with high girth, i.e. their girth should be at least $4r + 3$. We show that in such graphs, for every constant $r$, a simple greedy CONGEST algorithm provides a constant-factor approximation of the minimum distance-$r$ dominating set problem, in a constant number of rounds. More precisely, our constants are dependent to $r$, not to the size of the graph. This is the first algorithm that shows there are non-trivial constant factor approximations in constant number of rounds for any distance $r$-covering problem in distributed settings. To show the dependency on r is inevitable, we provide an unconditional lower bound showing the same problem is hard already on rings. We also show that our analysis of the algorithm is relatively tight, that is any significant improvement to the approximation factor requires new algorithmic ideas.

Abstract
This work provides several new insights on the robustness of Kearns' statistical query framework against challenging label-noise models. First, we build on a recent result by \cite{DBLP:journals/corr/abs-2006-04787} that showed noise tolerance of distribution-independently evolvable concept classes under Massart noise. Specifically, we extend their characterization to more general noise models, including the Tsybakov model which considerably generalizes the Massart condition by allowing the flipping probability to be arbitrarily close to $\frac{1}{2}$ for a subset of the domain. As a corollary, we employ an evolutionary algorithm by \cite{DBLP:conf/colt/KanadeVV10} to obtain the first polynomial time algorithm with arbitrarily small excess error for learning linear threshold functions over any spherically symmetric distribution in the presence of spherically symmetric Tsybakov noise. Moreover, we posit access to a stronger oracle, in which for every labeled example we additionally obtain its flipping probability. In this model, we show that every SQ learnable class admits an efficient learning algorithm with OPT + $\epsilon$ misclassification error for a broad class of noise models. This setting substantially generalizes the widely-studied problem of classification under RCN with known noise rate, and corresponds to a non-convex optimization problem even when the noise function -- i.e. the flipping probabilities of all points -- is known in advance.

Abstract
We study the variant of the Euclidean Traveling Salesman problem where instead of a set of points, we are given a set of lines as input, and the goal is to find the shortest tour that visits each line. The best known upper and lower bounds for the problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with $d\ge 3$, are $\mathrm{NP}$-hardness and an $O(\log^3 n)$-approximation algorithm which is based on a reduction to the group Steiner tree problem. We show that TSP with lines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is APX-hard for any $d\ge 3$. More generally, this implies that TSP with $k$-dimensional flats does not admit a PTAS for any $1\le k \leq d-2$ unless $\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{NP}$, which gives a complete classification of the approximability of these problems, as there are known PTASes for $k=0$ (i.e., points) and $k=d-1$ (hyperplanes). We are able to give a stronger inapproximability factor for $d=O(\log n)$ by showing that TSP with lines does not admit a $(2-\epsilon)$-approximation in $d$ dimensions under the unique games conjecture. On the positive side, we leverage recent results on restricted variants of the group Steiner tree problem in order to give an $O(\log^2 n)$-approximation algorithm for the problem, albeit with a running time of $n^{O(\log\log n)}$.

Abstract
The classical analysis of online algorithms, due to its worst-case nature, can be quite pessimistic when the input instance at hand is far from worst-case. Often this is not an issue with machine learning approaches, which shine in exploiting patterns in past inputs in order to predict the future. However, such predictions, although usually accurate, can be arbitrarily poor. Inspired by a recent line of work, we augment three well-known online settings with machine learned predictions about the future, and develop algorithms that take them into account. In particular, we study the following online selection problems: (i) the classical secretary problem, (ii) online bipartite matching and (iii) the graphic matroid secretary problem. Our algorithms still come with a worst-case performance guarantee in the case that predictions are subpar while obtaining an improved competitive ratio (over the best-known classical online algorithm for each problem) when the predictions are sufficiently accurate. For each algorithm, we establish a trade-off between the competitive ratios obtained in the two respective cases.

Abstract
We revisit the Subset Sum problem over the finite cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_m$ for some given integer $m$. A series of recent works has provided asymptotically optimal algorithms for this problem under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. Koiliaris and Xu (SODA'17, TALG'19) gave a deterministic algorithm running in time $\tilde{O}(m^{5/4})$, which was later improved to $O(m \log^7 m)$ randomized time by Axiotis et al. (SODA'19). In this work, we present two simple algorithms for the Modular Subset Sum problem running in near-linear time in $m$, both efficiently implementing Bellman's iteration over $\mathbb{Z}_m$. The first one is a randomized algorithm running in time $O(m\log^2 m)$, that is based solely on rolling hash and an elementary data-structure for prefix sums; to illustrate its simplicity we provide a short and efficient implementation of the algorithm in Python. Our second solution is a deterministic algorithm running in time $O(m\ \mathrm{polylog}\ m)$, that uses dynamic data structures for string manipulation. We further show that the techniques developed in this work can also lead to simple algorithms for the All Pairs Non-Decreasing Paths Problem (APNP) on undirected graphs, matching the asymptotically optimal running time of $\tilde{O}(n^2)$ provided in the recent work of Duan et al. (ICALP'19).

Abstract
In wet-lab experiments \cite{Nakagaki-Yamada-Toth,Tero-Takagi-etal}, the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has demonstrated its ability to solve shortest path problems and to design efficient networks, see Figure \ref{Wet-Lab Experiments} for illustrations. Physarum polycephalum is a slime mold in the Mycetozoa group. For the shortest path problem, a mathematical model for the evolution of the slime was proposed in \cite{Tero-Kobayashi-Nakagaki} and its biological relevance was argued. The model was shown to solve shortest path problems, first in computer simulations and then by mathematical proof. It was later shown that the slime mold dynamics can solve more general linear programs and that many variants of the dynamics have similar convergence behavior. In this paper, we introduce a dynamics for the network design problem. We formulate network design as the problem of constructing a network that efficiently supports a multi-commodity flow problem. We investigate the dynamics in computer simulations and analytically. The simulations show that the dynamics is able to construct efficient and elegant networks. In the theoretical part we show that the dynamics minimizes an objective combining the cost of the network and the cost of routing the demands through the network. We also give alternative characterization of the optimum solution.

Abstract
This paper is concerned with the $1||\sum p_jU_j$ problem, the problem of minimizing the total processing time of tardy jobs on a single machine. This is not only a fundamental scheduling problem, but also a very important problem from a theoretical point of view as it generalizes the Subset Sum problem and is closely related to the 0/1-Knapsack problem. The problem is well-known to be NP-hard, but only in a weak sense, meaning it admits pseudo-polynomial time algorithms. The fastest known pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for the problem is the famous Lawler and Moore algorithm which runs in $O(P \cdot n)$ time, where $P$ is the total processing time of all $n$ jobs in the input. This algorithm has been developed in the late 60s, and has yet to be improved to date. In this paper we develop two new algorithms for $1||\sum p_jU_j$, each improving on Lawler and Moore's algorithm in a different scenario. Both algorithms rely on basic primitive operations between sets of integers and vectors of integers for the speedup in their running times. The second algorithm relies on fast polynomial multiplication as its main engine, while for the first algorithm we define a new "skewed" version of $(\max,\min)$-convolution which is interesting in its own right.

This is not only a fundamental scheduling problem, but also a very important problem from a theoretical point of view as it generalizes the Subset Sum problem and is closely related to the 0/1-Knapsack problem. The problem is well-known to be NP-hard, but only in a weak sense, meaning it admits pseudo-polynomial time algorithms. The fastest known pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for the problem is the famous Lawler and Moore algorithm which runs in $O(P \cdot n)$ time, where $P$ is the total processing time of all $n$ jobs in the input. This algorithm has been developed in the late 60s, and has yet to be improved to date. In this paper we develop two new algorithms for $1||\sum p_jU_j$, each improving on Lawler and Moore's algorithm in a different scenario. Both algorithms rely on basic primitive operations between sets of integers and vectors of integers for the speedup in their running times. The second algorithm relies on fast polynomial multiplication as its main engine, while for the first algorithm we define a new "skewed" version of $(\max,\min)$-convolution which is interesting in its own right. %K Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS

Abstract
Consider the natural question of how to measure the similarity of curves in the plane by a quantity that is invariant under translations of the curves. Such a measure is justified whenever we aim to quantify the similarity of the curves' shapes rather than their positioning in the plane, e.g., to compare the similarity of handwritten characters. Perhaps the most natural such notion is the (discrete) Fr\'echet distance under translation. Unfortunately, the algorithmic literature on this problem yields a very pessimistic view: On polygonal curves with $n$ vertices, the fastest algorithm runs in time $O(n^{4.667})$ and cannot be improved below $n^{4-o(1)}$ unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis fails. Can we still obtain an implementation that is efficient on realistic datasets? Spurred by the surprising performance of recent implementations for the Fr\'echet distance, we perform algorithm engineering for the Fr\'echet distance under translation. Our solution combines fast, but inexact tools from continuous optimization (specifically, branch-and-bound algorithms for global Lipschitz optimization) with exact, but expensive algorithms from computational geometry (specifically, problem-specific algorithms based on an arrangement construction). We combine these two ingredients to obtain an exact decision algorithm for the Fr\'echet distance under translation. For the related task of computing the distance value up to a desired precision, we engineer and compare different methods. On a benchmark set involving handwritten characters and route trajectories, our implementation answers a typical query for either task in the range of a few milliseconds up to a second on standard desktop hardware. We believe that our implementation will enable the use of the Fr\'echet distance under translation in applications, whereas previous approaches would have been computationally infeasible.

K. Bringmann and P. Wellnitz, “On Near-Linear-Time Algorithms for Dense Subset Sum,” 2020. [Online]. Available: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09096. (arXiv: 2010.09096)
Abstract
In the Subset Sum problem we are given a set of $n$ positive integers $X$ and a target $t$ and are asked whether some subset of $X$ sums to $t$. Natural parameters for this problem that have been studied in the literature are $n$ and $t$ as well as the maximum input number $\rm{mx}_X$ and the sum of all input numbers $\Sigma_X$. In this paper we study the dense case of Subset Sum, where all these parameters are polynomial in $n$. In this regime, standard pseudo-polynomial algorithms solve Subset Sum in polynomial time $n^{O(1)}$. Our main question is: When can dense Subset Sum be solved in near-linear time $\tilde{O}(n)$? We provide an essentially complete dichotomy by designing improved algorithms and proving conditional lower bounds, thereby determining essentially all settings of the parameters $n,t,\rm{mx}_X,\Sigma_X$ for which dense Subset Sum is in time $\tilde{O}(n)$. For notational convenience we assume without loss of generality that $t \ge \rm{mx}_X$ (as larger numbers can be ignored) and $t \le \Sigma_X/2$ (using symmetry). Then our dichotomy reads as follows: - By reviving and improving an additive-combinatorics-based approach by Galil and Margalit [SICOMP'91], we show that Subset Sum is in near-linear time $\tilde{O}(n)$ if $t \gg \rm{mx}_X \Sigma_X/n^2$. - We prove a matching conditional lower bound: If Subset Sum is in near-linear time for any setting with $t \ll \rm{mx}_X \Sigma_X/n^2$, then the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and the Strong k-Sum Hypothesis fail. We also generalize our algorithm from sets to multi-sets, albeit with non-matching upper and lower bounds.

Abstract
Consider an arbitrary network of communicating modules on a chip, each requiring a local signal telling it when to execute a computational step. There are three common solutions to generating such a local clock signal: (i) by deriving it from a single, central clock source, (ii) by local, free-running oscillators, or (iii) by handshaking between neighboring modules. Conceptually, each of these solutions is the result of a perceived dichotomy in which (sub)systems are either clocked or fully asynchronous, suggesting that the designer's choice is limited to deciding where to draw the line between synchronous and asynchronous design. In contrast, we take the view that the better question to ask is how synchronous the system can and should be. Based on a distributed clock synchronization algorithm, we present a novel design providing modules with local clocks whose frequency bounds are almost as good as those of corresponding free-running oscillators, yet neighboring modules are guaranteed to have a phase offset substantially smaller than one clock cycle. Concretely, parameters obtained from a 15nm ASIC implementation running at 2GHz yield mathematical worst-case bounds of 30ps on phase offset for a 32x32 node grid network.

Abstract
Approximate pattern matching is a natural and well-studied problem on strings: Given a text $T$, a pattern $P$, and a threshold $k$, find (the starting positions of) all substrings of $T$ that are at distance at most $k$ from $P$. We consider the two most fundamental string metrics: the Hamming distance and the edit distance. Under the Hamming distance, we search for substrings of $T$ that have at most $k$ mismatches with $P$, while under the edit distance, we search for substrings of $T$ that can be transformed to $P$ with at most $k$ edits. Exact occurrences of $P$ in $T$ have a very simple structure: If we assume for simplicity that $|T| \le 3|P|/2$ and trim $T$ so that $P$ occurs both as a prefix and as a suffix of $T$, then both $P$ and $T$ are periodic with a common period. However, an analogous characterization for the structure of occurrences with up to $k$ mismatches was proved only recently by Bringmann et al. [SODA'19]: Either there are $O(k^2)$ $k$-mismatch occurrences of $P$ in $T$, or both $P$ and $T$ are at Hamming distance $O(k)$ from strings with a common period $O(m/k)$. We tighten this characterization by showing that there are $O(k)$ $k$-mismatch occurrences in the case when the pattern is not (approximately) periodic, and we lift it to the edit distance setting, where we tightly bound the number of $k$-edit occurrences by $O(k^2)$ in the non-periodic case. Our proofs are constructive and let us obtain a unified framework for approximate pattern matching for both considered distances. We showcase the generality of our framework with results for the fully-compressed setting (where $T$ and $P$ are given as a straight-line program) and for the dynamic setting (where we extend a data structure of Gawrychowski et al. [SODA'18]).

Exact occurrences of $P$ in $T$ have a very simple structure: If we assume for simplicity that $|T| \le 3|P|/2$ and trim $T$ so that $P$ occurs both as a prefix and as a suffix of $T$, then both $P$ and $T$ are periodic with a common period. However, an analogous characterization for the structure of occurrences with up to $k$ mismatches was proved only recently by Bringmann et al. [SODA'19]: Either there are $O(k^2)$ $k$-mismatch occurrences of $P$ in $T$, or both $P$ and $T$ are at Hamming distance $O(k)$ from strings with a common period $O(m/k)$. We tighten this characterization by showing that there are $O(k)$ $k$-mismatch occurrences in the case when the pattern is not (approximately) periodic, and we lift it to the edit distance setting, where we tightly bound the number of $k$-edit occurrences by $O(k^2)$ in the non-periodic case. Our proofs are constructive and let us obtain a unified framework for approximate pattern matching for both considered distances. We showcase the generality of our framework with results for the fully-compressed setting (where $T$ and $P$ are given as a straight-line program) and for the dynamic setting (where we extend a data structure of Gawrychowski et al. [SODA'18]). %K Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS

Abstract
Redistricting is the problem of dividing a state into a number $k$ of regions, called districts. Voters in each district elect a representative. The primary criteria are: each district is connected, district populations are equal (or nearly equal), and districts are "compact". There are multiple competing definitions of compactness, usually minimizing some quantity. One measure that has been recently promoted by Duchin and others is number of cut edges. In redistricting, one is given atomic regions out of which each district must be built. The populations of the atomic regions are given. Consider the graph with one vertex per atomic region (with weight equal to the region's population) and an edge between atomic regions that share a boundary. A districting plan is a partition of vertices into $k$ parts, each connnected, of nearly equal weight. The districts are considered compact to the extent that the plan minimizes the number of edges crossing between different parts. Consider two problems: find the most compact districting plan, and sample districting plans under a compactness constraint uniformly at random. Both problems are NP-hard so we restrict the input graph to have branchwidth at most $w$. (A planar graph's branchwidth is bounded by its diameter.) If both $k$ and $w$ are bounded by constants, the problems are solvable in polynomial time. Assume vertices have weight~1. One would like algorithms whose running times are of the form $O(f(k,w) n^c)$ for some constant $c$ independent of $k$ and $w$, in which case the problems are said to be fixed-parameter tractable with respect to $k$ and $w$). We show that, under a complexity-theoretic assumption, no such algorithms exist. However, we do give algorithms with running time $O(c^wn^{k+1})$. Thus if the diameter of the graph is moderately small and the number of districts is very small, our algorithm is useable.

Abstract
In their seminal paper from 2004, Kuhn, Moscibroda, and Wattenhofer (KMW) proved a hardness result for several fundamental graph problems in the LOCAL model: For any (randomized) algorithm, there are input graphs with $n$ nodes and maximum degree $\Delta$ on which $\Omega(\min\{\sqrt{\log n/\log \log n},\log \Delta/\log \log \Delta\})$ (expected) communication rounds are required to obtain polylogarithmic approximations to a minimum vertex cover, minimum dominating set, or maximum matching. Via reduction, this hardness extends to symmetry breaking tasks like finding maximal independent sets or maximal matchings. Today, more than $15$ years later, there is still no proof of this result that is easy on the reader. Setting out to change this, in this work, we provide a fully self-contained and $\mathit{simple}$ proof of the KMW lower bound. The key argument is algorithmic, and it relies on an invariant that can be readily verified from the generation rules of the lower bound graphs.

We show that this approach falls short with larger, hierarchically organized menu systems, where one must also take into account how users navigate hierarchical structures. This paper presents a novel integer programming formulation that models hierarchical menus as a combination of the exact set covering problem and the assignment problem. It organizes commands into ordered groups of ordered groups via a novel objective function based on information foraging theory. It minimizes, on the one hand, the time required to select a command whose location is known from previous usage and, on the other, the time wasted in irrelevant parts of the menu while searching for commands whose location is not known. The convergence of these two factors yields usable, well-ordered command hierarchies from a single model. In generated menus, the lead (first) elements of a group or tab are good indicators of the remaining contents, thereby facilitating the search process. In a controlled usability evaluation, the performance of computationally designed menus was 25 faster than existing commercial designs with respect to selection time. The algorithm is efficient for large, representative instances of the problem. We further show applications in personalization and adaptation of menu systems.}, }

Abstract
We study the problem of testing discrete distributions with a focus on the high probability regime. Specifically, given samples from one or more discrete distributions, a property $\mathcal{P}$, and parameters $0< \epsilon, \delta <1$, we want to distinguish {\em with probability at least $1-\delta$} whether these distributions satisfy $\mathcal{P}$ or are $\epsilon$-far from $\mathcal{P}$ in total variation distance. Most prior work in distribution testing studied the constant confidence case (corresponding to $\delta = \Omega(1)$), and provided sample-optimal testers for a range of properties. While one can always boost the confidence probability of any such tester by black-box amplification, this generic boosting method typically leads to sub-optimal sample bounds. Here we study the following broad question: For a given property $\mathcal{P}$, can we {\em characterize} the sample complexity of testing $\mathcal{P}$ as a function of all relevant problem parameters, including the error probability $\delta$? Prior to this work, uniformity testing was the only statistical task whose sample complexity had been characterized in this setting. As our main results, we provide the first algorithms for closeness and independence testing that are sample-optimal, within constant factors, as a function of all relevant parameters. We also show matching information-theoretic lower bounds on the sample complexity of these problems. Our techniques naturally extend to give optimal testers for related problems. To illustrate the generality of our methods, we give optimal algorithms for testing collections of distributions and testing closeness with unequal sized samples.

Abstract
There is a well-known connection between hypergraphs and bipartite graphs, obtained by treating the incidence matrix of the hypergraph as the biadjacency matrix of a bipartite graph. We use this connection to describe and analyse a rejection sampling algorithm for sampling simple uniform hypergraphs with a given degree sequence. Our algorithm uses, as a black box, an algorithm $\mathcal{A}$ for sampling bipartite graphs with given degrees, uniformly or nearly uniformly, in (expected) polynomial time. The expected runtime of the hypergraph sampling algorithm depends on the (expected) runtime of the bipartite graph sampling algorithm $\mathcal{A}$, and the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degrees corresponds to a simple hypergraph. We give some conditions on the hypergraph degree sequence which guarantee that this probability is bounded below by a constant.

%0 Report %A Dyer, Martin %A Greenhill, Catherine %A Kleer, Pieter %A Ross, James %A Stougie, Leen %+ External Organizations External Organizations Algorithms and Complexity, MPI for Informatics, Max Planck Society External Organizations External Organizations %T Sampling Hypergraphs with Given Degrees : %G eng %U http://hdl.handle.net/21.11116/0000-0007-9152-8 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12021 %D 2020 %X There is a well-known connection between hypergraphs and bipartite graphs, obtained by treating the incidence matrix of the hypergraph as the biadjacency matrix of a bipartite graph. We use this connection to describe and analyse a rejection sampling algorithm for sampling simple uniform hypergraphs with a given degree sequence. Our algorithm uses, as a black box, an algorithm $\mathcal{A}$ for sampling bipartite graphs with given degrees, uniformly or nearly uniformly, in (expected) polynomial time. The expected runtime of the hypergraph sampling algorithm depends on the (expected) runtime of the bipartite graph sampling algorithm $\mathcal{A}$, and the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degrees corresponds to a simple hypergraph. We give some conditions on the hypergraph degree sequence which guarantee that this probability is bounded below by a constant. %K Computer Science, Discrete Mathematics, cs.DM

Abstract
In the Directed Long Cycle Hitting Set} problem we are given a directed graph $G$, and the task is to find a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices/arcs such that $G-S$ has no cycle of length longer than $\ell$. We show that the problem can be solved in time $2^{\mathcal O(\ell k^3\log k + k^5\log k\log\ell)}\cdot n^{\mathcal O(1)}$, that is, it is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) parameterized by $k$ and $\ell$. This algorithm can be seen as a far-reaching generalization of the fixed-parameter tractability of {\sc Mixed Graph Feedback Vertex Set} [Bonsma and Lokshtanov WADS 2011], which is already a common generalization of the fixed-parameter tractability of (undirected) {\sc Feedback Vertex Set} and the {\sc Directed Feedback Vertex Set} problems, two classic results in parameterized algorithms. The algorithm requires significant insights into the structure of graphs without directed cycles length longer than $\ell$ and can be seen as an exact version of the approximation algorithm following from the Erd{\H{o}}s-P{\'o}sa property for long cycles in directed graphs proved by Kreutzer and Kawarabayashi [STOC 2015].

Abstract
The Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem takes as input a directed graph~$G$ and seeks a smallest vertex set~$S$ that hits all cycles in $G$. This is one of Karp's 21 $\mathsf{NP}$-complete problems. Resolving the parameterized complexity status of DFVS was a long-standing open problem until Chen et al. [STOC 2008, J. ACM 2008] showed its fixed-parameter tractability via a $4^kk! n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$-time algorithm, where $k = |S|$. Here we show fixed-parameter tractability of two generalizations of DFVS: - Find a smallest vertex set $S$ such that every strong component of $G - S$ has size at most~$s$: we give an algorithm solving this problem in time $4^k(ks+k+s)!\cdot n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$. This generalizes an algorithm by Xiao [JCSS 2017] for the undirected version of the problem. - Find a smallest vertex set $S$ such that every non-trivial strong component of $G - S$ is 1-out-regular: we give an algorithm solving this problem in time $2^{\mathcal{O}(k^3)}\cdot n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$. We also solve the corresponding arc versions of these problems by fixed-parameter algorithms.

Abstract
We prove that there is a graph isomorphism test running in time $n^{\operatorname{polylog}(h)}$ on $n$-vertex graphs excluding some $h$-vertex graph as a minor. Previously known bounds were $n^{\operatorname{poly}(h)}$ (Ponomarenko, 1988) and $n^{\operatorname{polylog}(n)}$ (Babai, STOC 2016). For the algorithm we combine recent advances in the group-theoretic graph isomorphism machinery with new graph-theoretic arguments.

Abstract
Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in the plane, not necessarily in general position. We present an efficient algorithm for finding all the vertices of the arrangement $A(L)$ of maximum level, where the level of a vertex $v$ is the number of lines of $L$ that pass strictly below $v$. The problem, posed in Exercise~8.13 in de Berg etal [BCKO08], appears to be much harder than it seems, as this vertex might not be on the upper envelope of the lines. We first assume that all the lines of $L$ are distinct, and distinguish between two cases, depending on whether or not the upper envelope of $L$ contains a bounded edge. In the former case, we show that the number of lines of $L$ that pass above any maximum level vertex $v_0$ is only $O(\log n)$. In the latter case, we establish a similar property that holds after we remove some of the lines that are incident to the single vertex of the upper envelope. We present algorithms that run, in both cases, in optimal $O(n\log n)$ time. We then consider the case where the lines of $L$ are not necessarily distinct. This setup is more challenging, and the best we have is an algorithm that computes all the maximum-level vertices in time $O(n^{4/3}\log^{3}n)$. Finally, we consider a related combinatorial question for degenerate arrangements, where many lines may intersect in a single point, but all the lines are distinct: We bound the complexity of the weighted $k$-level in such an arrangement, where the weight of a vertex is the number of lines that pass through the vertex. We show that the bound in this case is $O(n^{4/3})$, which matches the corresponding bound for non-degenerate arrangements, and we use this bound in the analysis of one of our algorithms.

Abstract
We revisit the classic task of finding the shortest tour of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, for any fixed constant $d \geq 2$. We determine the optimal dependence on $\varepsilon$ in the running time of an algorithm that computes a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate tour, under a plausible assumption. Specifically, we give an algorithm that runs in $2^{\mathcal{O}(1/\varepsilon^{d-1})} n\log n$ time. This improves the previously smallest dependence on $\varepsilon$ in the running time $(1/\varepsilon)^{\mathcal{O}(1/\varepsilon^{d-1})}n \log n$ of the algorithm by Rao and Smith (STOC 1998). We also show that a $2^{o(1/\varepsilon^{d-1})}\text{poly}(n)$ algorithm would violate the Gap-Exponential Time Hypothesis (Gap-ETH). Our new algorithm builds upon the celebrated quadtree-based methods initially proposed by Arora (J. ACM 1998), but it adds a simple new idea that we call \emph{sparsity-sensitive patching}. On a high level this lets the granularity with which we simplify the tour depend on how sparse it is locally. Our approach is (arguably) simpler than the one by Rao and Smith since it can work without geometric spanners. We demonstrate the technique extends easily to other problems, by showing as an example that it also yields a Gap-ETH-tight approximation scheme for Rectilinear Steiner Tree.

Abstract
We consider clustering games in which the players are embedded in a network and want to coordinate (or anti-coordinate) their strategy with their neighbors. The goal of a player is to choose a strategy that maximizes her utility given the strategies of her neighbors. Recent studies show that even very basic variants of these games exhibit a large Price of Anarchy: A large inefficiency between the total utility generated in centralized outcomes and equilibrium outcomes in which players selfishly try to maximize their utility. Our main goal is to understand how structural properties of the network topology impact the inefficiency of these games. We derive topological bounds on the Price of Anarchy for different classes of clustering games. These topological bounds provide a more informative assessment of the inefficiency of these games than the corresponding (worst-case) Price of Anarchy bounds. As one of our main results, we derive (tight) bounds on the Price of Anarchy for clustering games on Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs (where every possible edge in the network is present with a fixed probability), which, depending on the graph density, stand in stark contrast to the known Price of Anarchy bounds.

Abstract
To study the question under which circumstances small solutions can be found faster than by exhaustive search (and by how much), we study the fine-grained complexity of Boolean constraint satisfaction with size constraint exactly $k$. More precisely, we aim to determine, for any finite constraint family, the optimal running time $f(k)n^{g(k)}$ required to find satisfying assignments that set precisely $k$ of the $n$ variables to $1$. Under central hardness assumptions on detecting cliques in graphs and 3-uniform hypergraphs, we give an almost tight characterization of $g(k)$ into four regimes: (1) Brute force is essentially best-possible, i.e., $g(k) = (1\pm o(1))k$, (2) the best algorithms are as fast as current $k$-clique algorithms, i.e., $g(k)=(\omega/3\pm o(1))k$, (3) the exponent has sublinear dependence on $k$ with $g(k) \in [\Omega(\sqrt[3]{k}), O(\sqrt{k})]$, or (4) the problem is fixed-parameter tractable, i.e., $g(k) = O(1)$. This yields a more fine-grained perspective than a previous FPT/W[1]-hardness dichotomy (Marx, Computational Complexity 2005). Our most interesting technical contribution is a $f(k)n^{4\sqrt{k}}$-time algorithm for SubsetSum with precedence constraints parameterized by the target $k$ -- particularly the approach, based on generalizing a bound on the Frobenius coin problem to a setting with precedence constraints, might be of independent interest.

Abstract
The vast majority of hardware architectures use a carefully timed reference signal to clock their computational logic. However, standard distribution solutions are not fault-tolerant. In this work, we present a simple grid structure as a more reliable clock propagation method and study it by means of simulation experiments. Fault-tolerance is achieved by forwarding clock pulses on arrival of the second of three incoming signals from the previous layer. A key question is how well neighboring grid nodes are synchronized, even without faults. Analyzing the clock skew under typical-case conditions is highly challenging. Because the forwarding mechanism involves taking the median, standard probabilistic tools fail, even when modeling link delays just by unbiased coin flips. Our statistical approach provides substantial evidence that this system performs surprisingly well. Specifically, in an "infinitely wide" grid of height~$H$, the delay at a pre-selected node exhibits a standard deviation of $O(H^{1/4})$ ($\approx 2.7$ link delay uncertainties for $H=2000$) and skew between adjacent nodes of $o(\log \log H)$ ($\approx 0.77$ link delay uncertainties for $H=2000$). We conclude that the proposed system is a very promising clock distribution method. This leads to the open problem of a stochastic explanation of the tight concentration of delays and skews. More generally, we believe that understanding our very simple abstraction of the system is of mathematical interest in its own right.

Abstract
Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the $H$-free Edge Editing problem is to find whether there exists at most $k$ pairs of vertices in $G$ such that changing the adjacency of the pairs in $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of $H$. The existence of polynomial kernels for $H$-free Edge Editing received significant attention in the parameterized complexity literature. Nontrivial polynomial kernels are known to exist for some graphs $H$ with at most 4 vertices, but starting from 5 vertices, polynomial kernels are known only if $H$ is either complete or empty. This suggests the conjecture that there is no other $H$ with at least 5 vertices were $H$-free Edge Editing admits a polynomial kernel. Towards this goal, we obtain a set $\mathcal{H}$ of nine 5-vertex graphs such that if for every $H\in\mathcal{H}$, $H$-free Edge Editing is incompressible and the complexity assumption $NP \not\subseteq coNP/poly$ holds, then $H$-free Edge Editing is incompressible for every graph $H$ with at least five vertices that is neither complete nor empty. That is, proving incompressibility for these nine graphs would give a complete classification of the kernelization complexity of $H$-free Edge Editing for every $H$ with at least 5 vertices. We obtain similar result also for $H$-free Edge Deletion. Here the picture is more complicated due to the existence of another infinite family of graphs $H$ where the problem is trivial (graphs with exactly one edge). We obtain a larger set $\mathcal{H}$ of nineteen graphs whose incompressibility would give a complete classification of the kernelization complexity of $H$-free Edge Deletion for every graph $H$ with at least 5 vertices. Analogous results follow also for the $H$-free Edge Completion problem by simple complementation.

Abstract
This article briefly describes four algorithmic problems where the notion of treewidth is very useful. Even though the problems themselves have nothing to do with treewidth, it turns out that combining known results on treewidth allows us to easily describe very clean and high-level algorithms.

Abstract
We study the problem of distributing a set of indivisible items among agents with additive valuations in a $\mathit{fair}$ manner. The fairness notion under consideration is Envy-freeness up to any item (EFX). Despite significant efforts by many researchers for several years, the existence of EFX allocations has not been settled beyond the simple case of two agents. In this paper, we show constructively that an EFX allocation always exists for three agents. Furthermore, we falsify the conjecture by Caragiannis et al. by showing an instance with three agents for which there is a partial EFX allocation (some items are not allocated) with higher Nash welfare than that of any complete EFX allocation.

Abstract
We study the fair division problem of allocating a mixed manna under additively separable piecewise linear concave (SPLC) utilities. A mixed manna contains goods that everyone likes and bads that everyone dislikes, as well as items that some like and others dislike. The seminal work of Bogomolnaia et al. [Econometrica'17] argue why allocating a mixed manna is genuinely more complicated than a good or a bad manna, and why competitive equilibrium is the best mechanism. They also provide the existence of equilibrium and establish its peculiar properties (e.g., non-convex and disconnected set of equilibria even under linear utilities), but leave the problem of computing an equilibrium open. This problem remained unresolved even for only bad manna under linear utilities. Our main result is a simplex-like algorithm based on Lemke's scheme for computing a competitive allocation of a mixed manna under SPLC utilities, a strict generalization of linear. Experimental results on randomly generated instances suggest that our algorithm will be fast in practice. The problem is known to be PPAD-hard for the case of good manna, and we also show a similar result for the case of bad manna. Given these PPAD-hardness results, designing such an algorithm is the only non-brute-force (non-enumerative) option known, e.g., the classic Lemke-Howson algorithm (1964) for computing a Nash equilibrium in a 2-player game is still one of the most widely used algorithms in practice. Our algorithm also yields several new structural properties as simple corollaries. We obtain a (constructive) proof of existence for a far more general setting, membership of the problem in PPAD, rational-valued solution, and odd number of solutions property. The last property also settles the conjecture of Bogomolnaia et al. in the affirmative.

Abstract
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible goods among agents with subadditive valuations in a fair and efficient manner. Envy-Freeness up to any good (EFX) is the most compelling notion of fairness in the context of indivisible goods. Although the existence of EFX is not known beyond the simple case of two agents with subadditive valuations, some good approximations of EFX are known to exist, namely $\tfrac{1}{2}$-EFX allocation and EFX allocations with bounded charity. Nash welfare (the geometric mean of agents' valuations) is one of the most commonly used measures of efficiency. In case of additive valuations, an allocation that maximizes Nash welfare also satisfies fairness properties like Envy-Free up to one good (EF1). Although there is substantial work on approximating Nash welfare when agents have additive valuations, very little is known when agents have subadditive valuations. In this paper, we design a polynomial-time algorithm that outputs an allocation that satisfies either of the two approximations of EFX as well as achieves an $\mathcal{O}(n)$ approximation to the Nash welfare. Our result also improves the current best-known approximation of $\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$ and $\mathcal{O}(m)$ to Nash welfare when agents have submodular and subadditive valuations, respectively. Furthermore, our technique also gives an $\mathcal{O}(n)$ approximation to a family of welfare measures, $p$-mean of valuations for $p\in (-\infty, 1]$, thereby also matching asymptotically the current best known approximation ratio for special cases like $p =-\infty$ while also retaining the fairness properties.

Abstract
Consider a graph problem that is locally checkable but not locally solvable: given a solution we can check that it is feasible by verifying all constant-radius neighborhoods, but to find a solution each node needs to explore the input graph at least up to distance $\Omega(\log n)$ in order to produce its output. We consider the complexity of such problems from the perspective of volume: how large a subgraph does a node need to see in order to produce its output. We study locally checkable graph problems on bounded-degree graphs. We give a number of constructions that exhibit tradeoffs between deterministic distance, randomized distance, deterministic volume, and randomized volume: - If the deterministic distance is linear, it is also known that randomized distance is near-linear. In contrast, we show that there are problems with linear deterministic volume but only logarithmic randomized volume. - We prove a volume hierarchy theorem for randomized complexity: among problems with linear deterministic volume complexity, there are infinitely many distinct randomized volume complexity classes between $\Omega(\log n)$ and $O(n)$. This hierarchy persists even when restricting to problems whose randomized and deterministic distance complexities are $\Theta(\log n)$. - Similar hierarchies exist for polynomial distance complexities: for any $k, \ell \in N$ with $k \leq \ell$, there are problems whose randomized and deterministic distance complexities are $\Theta(n^{1/\ell})$, randomized volume complexities are $\Theta(n^{1/k})$, and whose deterministic volume complexities are $\Theta(n)$. Additionally, we consider connections between our volume model and massively parallel computation (MPC). We give a general simulation argument that any volume-efficient algorithm can be transformed into a space-efficient MPC algorithm.

Abstract
Given a graph property $\Phi$, the problem $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ asks, on input a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, to compute the number of induced subgraphs of size $k$ in $G$ that satisfy $\Phi$. The search for explicit criteria on $\Phi$ ensuring that $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ is hard was initiated by Jerrum and Meeks [J. Comput. Syst. Sci. 15] and is part of the major line of research on counting small patterns in graphs. However, apart from an implicit result due to Curticapean, Dell and Marx [STOC 17] proving that a full classification into "easy" and "hard" properties is possible and some partial results on edge-monotone properties due to Meeks [Discret. Appl. Math. 16] and D\"orfler et al. [MFCS 19], not much is known. In this work, we fully answer and explicitly classify the case of monotone, that is subgraph-closed, properties: We show that for any non-trivial monotone property $\Phi$, the problem $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ cannot be solved in time $f(k)\cdot |V(G)|^{o(k/ {\log^{1/2}(k)})}$ for any function $f$, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails. By this, we establish that any significant improvement over the brute-force approach is unlikely; in the language of parameterized complexity, we also obtain a $\#\mathsf{W}[1]$-completeness result.

Abstract
Given a graph property $\Phi$, we consider the problem $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$, where the input is a pair of a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, and the task is to decide whether $G$ contains a $k$-edge subgraph that satisfies $\Phi$. Specifically, we study the parameterized complexity of $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ and of its counting problem $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ with respect to both approximate and exact counting. We obtain a complete picture for minor-closed properties $\Phi$: the decision problem $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ always admits an FPT algorithm and the counting problem $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ always admits an FPTRAS. For exact counting, we present an exhaustive and explicit criterion on the property $\Phi$ which, if satisfied, yields fixed-parameter tractability and otherwise $\#\mathsf{W[1]}$-hardness. Additionally, most of our hardness results come with an almost tight conditional lower bound under the so-called Exponential Time Hypothesis, ruling out algorithms for $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ that run in time $f(k)\cdot|G|^{o(k/\log k)}$ for any computable function $f$. As a main technical result, we gain a complete understanding of the coefficients of toroidal grids and selected Cayley graph expanders in the homomorphism basis of $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$. This allows us to establish hardness of exact counting using the Complexity Monotonicity framework due to Curticapean, Dell and Marx (STOC'17). Our methods can also be applied to a parameterized variant of the Tutte Polynomial $T^k_G$ of a graph $G$, to which many known combinatorial interpretations of values of the (classical) Tutte Polynomial can be extended. As an example, $T^k_G(2,1)$ corresponds to the number of $k$-forests in the graph $G$. Our techniques allow us to completely understand the parametrized complexity of computing the evaluation of $T^k_G$ at every pair of rational coordinates $(x,y)$.

Specifically, we study the parameterized complexity of $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ and of its counting problem $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ with respect to both approximate and exact counting. We obtain a complete picture for minor-closed properties $\Phi$: the decision problem $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ always admits an FPT algorithm and the counting problem $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ always admits an FPTRAS. For exact counting, we present an exhaustive and explicit criterion on the property $\Phi$ which, if satisfied, yields fixed-parameter tractability and otherwise $\#\mathsf{W[1]}$-hardness. Additionally, most of our hardness results come with an almost tight conditional lower bound under the so-called Exponential Time Hypothesis, ruling out algorithms for $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ that run in time $f(k)\cdot|G|^{o(k/\log k)}$ for any computable function $f$. As a main technical result, we gain a complete understanding of the coefficients of toroidal grids and selected Cayley graph expanders in the homomorphism basis of $\#\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$. This allows us to establish hardness of exact counting using the Complexity Monotonicity framework due to Curticapean, Dell and Marx (STOC'17).
