Abstract
When a loan is approved for a person or company, the bank is subject to \emph{credit risk}; the risk that the lender defaults. To mitigate this risk, a bank will require some form of \emph{security}, which will be collected if the lender defaults. Accounts can be secured by several securities and a security can be used for several accounts. The goal is to fractionally assign the securities to the accounts so as to balance the risk. This situation can be modelled by a bipartite graph. We have a set $S$ of securities and a set $A$ of accounts. Each security has a \emph{value} $v_i$ and each account has an \emph{exposure} $e_j$. If a security $i$ can be used to secure an account $j$, we have an edge from $i$ to $j$. Let $f_{ij}$ be part of security $i$'s value used to secure account $j$. We are searching for a maximum flow that send at most $v_i$ units out of node $i \in S$ and at most $e_j$ units into node $j \in A$. Then $s_j = e_j - \sum_i f_{ij}$ is the unsecured part of account $j$. We are searching for the maximum flow that minimizes $\sum_j s_j^2/e_j$.

Abstract
Many graph problems are locally checkable: a solution is globally feasible if it looks valid in all constant-radius neighborhoods. This idea is formalized in the concept of locally checkable labelings (LCLs), introduced by Naor and Stockmeyer (1995). Recently, Chang et al. (2016) showed that in bounded-degree graphs, every LCL problem belongs to one of the following classes: - "Easy": solvable in $O(\log^* n)$ rounds with both deterministic and randomized distributed algorithms. - "Hard": requires at least $\Omega(\log n)$ rounds with deterministic and $\Omega(\log \log n)$ rounds with randomized distributed algorithms. Hence for any parameterized LCL problem, when we move from local problems towards global problems, there is some point at which complexity suddenly jumps from easy to hard. For example, for vertex coloring in $d$-regular graphs it is now known that this jump is at precisely $d$ colors: coloring with $d+1$ colors is easy, while coloring with $d$ colors is hard. However, it is currently poorly understood where this jump takes place when one looks at defective colorings. To study this question, we define $k$-partial $c$-coloring as follows: nodes are labeled with numbers between $1$ and $c$, and every node is incident to at least $k$ properly colored edges. It is known that $1$-partial $2$-coloring (a.k.a. weak $2$-coloring) is easy for any $d \ge 1$. As our main result, we show that $k$-partial $2$-coloring becomes hard as soon as $k \ge 2$, no matter how large a $d$ we have. We also show that this is fundamentally different from $k$-partial $3$-coloring: no matter which $k \ge 3$ we choose, the problem is always hard for $d = k$ but it becomes easy when $d \gg k$. The same was known previously for partial $c$-coloring with $c \ge 4$, but the case of $c < 4$ was open.

Abstract
In this paper, we present two results on slime mold computations. The first one treats a biologically-grounded model, originally proposed by biologists analyzing the behavior of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. This primitive organism was empirically shown by Nakagaki et al. to solve shortest path problems in wet-lab experiments (Nature'00). We show that the proposed simple mathematical model actually generalizes to a much wider class of problems, namely undirected linear programs with a non-negative cost vector. For our second result, we consider the discretization of a biologically-inspired model. This model is a directed variant of the biologically-grounded one and was never claimed to describe the behavior of a biological system. Straszak and Vishnoi showed that it can $\epsilon$-approximately solve flow problems (SODA'16) and even general linear programs with positive cost vector (ITCS'16) within a finite number of steps. We give a refined convergence analysis that improves the dependence on $\epsilon$ from polynomial to logarithmic and simultaneously allows to choose a step size that is independent of $\epsilon$. Furthermore, we show that the dynamics can be initialized with a more general set of (infeasible) starting points.

Straszak and Vishnoi showed that it can $\epsilon$-approximately solve flow problems (SODA'16) and even general linear programs with positive cost vector (ITCS'16) within a finite number of steps. We give a refined convergence analysis that improves the dependence on $\epsilon$ from polynomial to logarithmic and simultaneously allows to choose a step size that is independent of $\epsilon$. Furthermore, we show that the dynamics can be initialized with a more general set of (infeasible) starting points. %K Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS,Mathematics, Dynamical Systems, math.DS,Mathematics, Optimization and Control, math.OC, Physics, Biological Physics, physics.bio-ph %J Theoretical Computer Science %V 773 %& 79 %P 79 - 106 %I Elsevier %C Amsterdam %@ false

J. Bund, C. Lenzen, and W. Rosenbaum, “Fault Tolerant Gradient Clock Synchronization,” 2019. [Online]. Available: http://arxiv.org/abs/1902.08042. (arXiv: 1902.08042)
Abstract
Synchronizing clocks in distributed systems is well-understood, both in terms of fault-tolerance in fully connected systems and the dependence of local and global worst-case skews (i.e., maximum clock difference between neighbors and arbitrary pairs of nodes, respectively) on the diameter of fault-free systems. However, so far nothing non-trivial is known about the local skew that can be achieved in topologies that are not fully connected even under a single Byzantine fault. Put simply, in this work we show that the most powerful known techniques for fault-tolerant and gradient clock synchronization are compatible, in the sense that the best of both worlds can be achieved simultaneously. Concretely, we combine the Lynch-Welch algorithm [Welch1988] for synchronizing a clique of $n$ nodes despite up to $f<n/3$ Byzantine faults with the gradient clock synchronization (GCS) algorithm by Lenzen et al. [Lenzen2010] in order to render the latter resilient to faults. As this is not possible on general graphs, we augment an input graph $\mathcal{G}$ by replacing each node by $3f+1$ fully connected copies, which execute an instance of the Lynch-Welch algorithm. We then interpret these clusters as supernodes executing the GCS algorithm, where for each cluster its correct nodes' Lynch-Welch clocks provide estimates of the logical clock of the supernode in the GCS algorithm. By connecting clusters corresponding to neighbors in $\mathcal{G}$ in a fully bipartite manner, supernodes can inform each other about (estimates of) their logical clock values. This way, we achieve asymptotically optimal local skew, granted that no cluster contains more than $f$ faulty nodes, at factor $O(f)$ and $O(f^2)$ overheads in terms of nodes and edges, respectively. Note that tolerating $f$ faulty neighbors trivially requires degree larger than $f$, so this is asymptotically optimal as well.

Put simply, in this work we show that the most powerful known techniques for fault-tolerant and gradient clock synchronization are compatible, in the sense that the best of both worlds can be achieved simultaneously. Concretely, we combine the Lynch-Welch algorithm [Welch1988] for synchronizing a clique of $n$ nodes despite up to $f<n/3$ Byzantine faults with the gradient clock synchronization (GCS) algorithm by Lenzen et al. [Lenzen2010] in order to render the latter resilient to faults. As this is not possible on general graphs, we augment an input graph $\mathcal{G}$ by replacing each node by $3f+1$ fully connected copies, which execute an instance of the Lynch-Welch algorithm. We then interpret these clusters as supernodes executing the GCS algorithm, where for each cluster its correct nodes' Lynch-Welch clocks provide estimates of the logical clock of the supernode in the GCS algorithm. By connecting clusters corresponding to neighbors in $\mathcal{G}$ in a fully bipartite manner, supernodes can inform each other about (estimates of) their logical clock values. This way, we achieve asymptotically optimal local skew, granted that no cluster contains more than $f$ faulty nodes, at factor $O(f)$ and $O(f^2)$ overheads in terms of nodes and edges, respectively. Note that tolerating $f$ faulty neighbors trivially requires degree larger than $f$, so this is asymptotically optimal as well. %K Computer Science, Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing, cs.DC,Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS

Abstract
Geometric Complexity Theory as initiated by Mulmuley and Sohoni in two papers (SIAM J Comput 2001, 2008) aims to separate algebraic complexity classes via representation theoretic multiplicities in coordinate rings of specific group varieties. The papers also conjecture that the vanishing behavior of these multiplicities would be sufficient to separate complexity classes (so-called occurrence obstructions). The existence of such strong occurrence obstructions has been recently disproven in 2016 in two successive papers, Ikenmeyer-Panova (Adv. Math.) and B\"urgisser-Ikenmeyer-Panova (J. AMS). This raises the question whether separating group varieties via representation theoretic multiplicities is stronger than separating them via occurrences. This paper provides for the first time a setting where separating with multiplicities can be achieved, while the separation with occurrences is provably impossible. Our setting is surprisingly simple and natural: We study the variety of products of homogeneous linear forms (the so-called Chow variety) and the variety of polynomials of bounded border Waring rank (i.e. a higher secant variety of the Veronese variety). As a side result we prove a slight generalization of Hermite's reciprocity theorem, which proves Foulkes' conjecture for a new infinite family of cases.

Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the problem of sampling edges in an unknown graph $G = (V, E)$ from a distribution that is (pointwise) almost uniform over $E$. We consider the case where there is some a priori upper bound on the arboriciy of $G$. Given query access to a graph $G$ over $n$ vertices and of average degree $d$ and arboricity at most $\alpha$, we design an algorithm that performs $O\!\left(\frac{\alpha}{d} \cdot \frac{\log^3 n}{\varepsilon}\right)$ queries in expectation and returns an edge in the graph such that every edge $e \in E$ is sampled with probability $(1 \pm \varepsilon)/m$. The algorithm performs two types of queries: degree queries and neighbor queries. We show that the upper bound is tight (up to poly-logarithmic factors and the dependence in $\varepsilon$), as $\Omega\!\left(\frac{\alpha}{d} \right)$ queries are necessary for the easier task of sampling edges from any distribution over $E$ that is close to uniform in total variational distance. We also prove that even if $G$ is a tree (i.e., $\alpha = 1$ so that $\frac{\alpha}{d}=\Theta(1)$), $\Omega\left(\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}\right)$ queries are necessary to sample an edge from any distribution that is pointwise close to uniform, thus establishing that a $\mathrm{poly}(\log n)$ factor is necessary for constant $\alpha$. Finally we show how our algorithm can be applied to obtain a new result on approximately counting subgraphs, based on the recent work of Assadi, Kapralov, and Khanna (ITCS, 2019).

Abstract
Let $c \in \mathbb{Z}^m_{> 0}$, $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{n\times m}$, and $b \in \mathbb{Z}^n$. We show under fairly general conditions that the non-uniform Physarum dynamics $\dot{x}_e = a_e(x,t) \left(|q_e| - x_e\right)$ converges to the optimum solution $x^*$ of the weighted basis pursuit problem minimize $c^T x$ subject to $A f = b$ and $|f| \le x$. Here, $f$ and $x$ are $m$-vectors of real variables, $q$ minimizes the energy $\sum_e (c_e/x_e) q_e^2$ subject to the constraints $A q = b$ and $\mathrm{supp}(q) \subseteq \mathrm{supp}(x)$, and $a_e(x,t) > 0$ is the reactivity of edge $e$ to the difference $|q_e| - x_e$ at time $t$ and in state $x$. Previously convergence was only shown for the uniform case $a_e(x,t) = 1$ for all $e$, $x$, and $t$. We also show convergence for the dynamics $\dot{x}_e = x_e \cdot \left( g_e \left(\frac{|q_e|}{x_e}\right) - 1\right),$ where $g_e$ is an increasing differentiable function with $g_e(1) = 1$. Previously convergence was only shown for the special case of the shortest path problem on a graph consisting of two nodes connected by parallel edges.

Abstract
We study parallel algorithms for the classical balls-into-bins problem, in which $m$ balls acting in parallel as separate agents are placed into $n$ bins. Algorithms operate in synchronous rounds, in each of which balls and bins exchange messages once. The goal is to minimize the maximal load over all bins using a small number of rounds and few messages. While the case of $m=n$ balls has been extensively studied, little is known about the heavily loaded case. In this work, we consider parallel algorithms for this somewhat neglected regime of $m\gg n$. The naive solution of allocating each ball to a bin chosen uniformly and independently at random results in maximal load $m/n+\Theta(\sqrt{m/n\cdot \log n})$ (for $m\geq n \log n$) w.h.p. In contrast, for the sequential setting Berenbrink et al (SIAM J. Comput 2006) showed that letting each ball join the least loaded bin of two randomly selected bins reduces the maximal load to $m/n+O(\log\log m)$ w.h.p. To date, no parallel variant of such a result is known. We present a simple parallel threshold algorithm that obtains a maximal load of $m/n+O(1)$ w.h.p. within $O(\log\log (m/n)+\log^* n)$ rounds. The algorithm is symmetric (balls and bins all "look the same"), and balls send $O(1)$ messages in expectation per round. The additive term of $O(\log^* n)$ in the complexity is known to be tight for such algorithms (Lenzen and Wattenhofer Distributed Computing 2016). We also prove that our analysis is tight, i.e., algorithms of the type we provide must run for $\Omega(\min\{\log\log (m/n),n\})$ rounds w.h.p. Finally, we give a simple asymmetric algorithm (i.e., balls are aware of a common labeling of the bins) that achieves a maximal load of $m/n + O(1)$ in a constant number of rounds w.h.p. Again, balls send only a single message per round, and bins receive $(1+o(1))m/n+O(\log n)$ messages w.h.p.

Abstract
We consider the Adversarial Queuing Theory (AQT) model, where packet arrivals are subject to a maximum average rate $0\le\rho\le1$ and burstiness $\sigma\ge0$. In this model, we analyze the size of buffers required to avoid overflows in the basic case of a path. Our main results characterize the space required by the average rate and the number of distinct destinations: we show that $O(k d^{1/k})$ space suffice, where $d$ is the number of distinct destinations and $k=\lfloor 1/\rho \rfloor$; and we show that $\Omega(\frac 1 k d^{1/k})$ space is necessary. For directed trees, we describe an algorithm whose buffer space requirement is at most $1 + d' + \sigma$ where $d'$ is the maximum number of destinations on any root-leaf path.

Abstract
Can we analyze data without decompressing it? As our data keeps growing, understanding the time complexity of problems on compressed inputs, rather than in convenient uncompressed forms, becomes more and more relevant. Suppose we are given a compression of size $n$ of data that originally has size $N$, and we want to solve a problem with time complexity $T(\cdot)$. The naive strategy of "decompress-and-solve" gives time $T(N)$, whereas "the gold standard" is time $T(n)$: to analyze the compression as efficiently as if the original data was small. We restrict our attention to data in the form of a string (text, files, genomes, etc.) and study the most ubiquitous tasks. While the challenge might seem to depend heavily on the specific compression scheme, most methods of practical relevance (Lempel-Ziv-family, dictionary methods, and others) can be unified under the elegant notion of Grammar Compressions. A vast literature, across many disciplines, established this as an influential notion for Algorithm design. We introduce a framework for proving (conditional) lower bounds in this field, allowing us to assess whether decompress-and-solve can be improved, and by how much. Our main results are: - The $O(nN\sqrt{\log{N/n}})$ bound for LCS and the $O(\min\{N \log N, nM\})$ bound for Pattern Matching with Wildcards are optimal up to $N^{o(1)}$ factors, under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. (Here, $M$ denotes the uncompressed length of the compressed pattern.) - Decompress-and-solve is essentially optimal for Context-Free Grammar Parsing and RNA Folding, under the $k$-Clique conjecture. - We give an algorithm showing that decompress-and-solve is not optimal for Disjointness.

Abstract
A noticeable fraction of Algorithms papers in the last few decades improve the running time of well-known algorithms for fundamental problems by logarithmic factors. For example, the $O(n^2)$ dynamic programming solution to the Longest Common Subsequence problem (LCS) was improved to $O(n^2/\log^2 n)$ in several ways and using a variety of ingenious tricks. This line of research, also known as "the art of shaving log factors", lacks a tool for proving negative results. Specifically, how can we show that it is unlikely that LCS can be solved in time $O(n^2/\log^3 n)$? Perhaps the only approach for such results was suggested in a recent paper of Abboud, Hansen, Vassilevska W. and Williams (STOC'16). The authors blame the hardness of shaving logs on the hardness of solving satisfiability on Boolean formulas (Formula-SAT) faster than exhaustive search. They show that an $O(n^2/\log^{1000} n)$ algorithm for LCS would imply a major advance in circuit lower bounds. Whether this approach can lead to tighter barriers was unclear. In this paper, we push this approach to its limit and, in particular, prove that a well-known barrier from complexity theory stands in the way for shaving five additional log factors for fundamental combinatorial problems. For LCS, regular expression pattern matching, as well as the Fr\'echet distance problem from Computational Geometry, we show that an $O(n^2/\log^{7+\varepsilon} n)$ runtime would imply new Formula-SAT algorithms. Our main result is a reduction from SAT on formulas of size $s$ over $n$ variables to LCS on sequences of length $N=2^{n/2} \cdot s^{1+o(1)}$. Our reduction is essentially as efficient as possible, and it greatly improves the previously known reduction for LCS with $N=2^{n/2} \cdot s^c$, for some $c \geq 100$.

Abstract
Subset-Sum and k-SAT are two of the most extensively studied problems in computer science, and conjectures about their hardness are among the cornerstones of fine-grained complexity. One of the most intriguing open problems in this area is to base the hardness of one of these problems on the other. Our main result is a tight reduction from k-SAT to Subset-Sum on dense instances, proving that Bellman's 1962 pseudo-polynomial $O^{*}(T)$-time algorithm for Subset-Sum on $n$ numbers and target $T$ cannot be improved to time $T^{1-\varepsilon}\cdot 2^{o(n)}$ for any $\varepsilon>0$, unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) fails. This is one of the strongest known connections between any two of the core problems of fine-grained complexity. As a corollary, we prove a "Direct-OR" theorem for Subset-Sum under SETH, offering a new tool for proving conditional lower bounds: It is now possible to assume that deciding whether one out of $N$ given instances of Subset-Sum is a YES instance requires time $(N T)^{1-o(1)}$. As an application of this corollary, we prove a tight SETH-based lower bound for the classical Bicriteria s,t-Path problem, which is extensively studied in Operations Research. We separate its complexity from that of Subset-Sum: On graphs with $m$ edges and edge lengths bounded by $L$, we show that the $O(Lm)$ pseudo-polynomial time algorithm by Joksch from 1966 cannot be improved to $\tilde{O}(L+m)$, in contrast to a recent improvement for Subset Sum (Bringmann, SODA 2017).

Abstract
We consider very natural "fence enclosure" problems studied by Capoyleas, Rote, and Woeginger and Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell in the early 90s. Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane, we aim at finding a set of closed curves such that (1) each point is enclosed by a curve and (2) the total length of the curves is minimized. We consider two main variants. In the first variant, we pay a unit cost per curve in addition to the total length of the curves. An equivalent formulation of this version is that we have to enclose $n$ unit disks, paying only the total length of the enclosing curves. In the other variant, we are allowed to use at most $k$ closed curves and pay no cost per curve. For the variant with at most $k$ closed curves, we present an algorithm that is polynomial in both $n$ and $k$. For the variant with unit cost per curve, or unit disks, we present a near-linear time algorithm. Capoyleas, Rote, and Woeginger solved the problem with at most $k$ curves in $n^{O(k)}$ time. Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell used this to solve the unit cost per curve version in exponential time. At the time, they conjectured that the problem with $k$ curves is NP-hard for general $k$. Our polynomial time algorithm refutes this unless P equals NP.

Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell used this to solve the unit cost per curve version in exponential time. At the time, they conjectured that the problem with $k$ curves is NP-hard for general $k$. Our polynomial time algorithm refutes this unless P equals NP. %K Computer Science, Computational Geometry, cs.CG

Abstract
In the Traveling Salesperson Problem with Neighborhoods (TSPN), we are given a collection of geometric regions in some space. The goal is to output a tour of minimum length that visits at least one point in each region. Even in the Euclidean plane, TSPN is known to be APX-hard, which gives rise to studying more tractable special cases of the problem. In this paper, we focus on the fundamental special case of regions that are hyperplanes in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. This case contrasts the much-better understood case of so-called fat regions. While for $d=2$ an exact algorithm with running time $O(n^5)$ is known, settling the exact approximability of the problem for $d=3$ has been repeatedly posed as an open question. To date, only an approximation algorithm with guarantee exponential in $d$ is known, and NP-hardness remains open. For arbitrary fixed $d$, we develop a Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (PTAS) that works for both the tour and path version of the problem. Our algorithm is based on approximating the convex hull of the optimal tour by a convex polytope of bounded complexity. Such polytopes are represented as solutions of a sophisticated LP formulation, which we combine with the enumeration of crucial properties of the tour. As the approximation guarantee approaches $1$, our scheme adjusts the complexity of the considered polytopes accordingly. In the analysis of our approximation scheme, we show that our search space includes a sufficiently good approximation of the optimum. To do so, we develop a novel and general sparsification technique to transform an arbitrary convex polytope into one with a constant number of vertices and, in turn, into one of bounded complexity in the above sense. Hereby, we maintain important properties of the polytope.

Abstract
Given a Boolean function $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to \{-1,1\}$, the Fourier distribution assigns probability $\widehat{f}(S)^2$ to $S\subseteq [n]$. The Fourier Entropy-Influence (FEI) conjecture of Friedgut and Kalai asks if there exist a universal constant C>0 such that $H(\hat{f}^2)\leq C Inf(f)$, where $H(\hat{f}^2)$ is the Shannon entropy of the Fourier distribution of $f$ and $Inf(f)$ is the total influence of $f$. 1) We consider the weaker Fourier Min-entropy-Influence (FMEI) conjecture. This asks if $H_{\infty}(\hat{f}^2)\leq C Inf(f)$, where $H_{\infty}(\hat{f}^2)$ is the min-entropy of the Fourier distribution. We show $H_{\infty}(\hat{f}^2)\leq 2C_{\min}^\oplus(f)$, where $C_{\min}^\oplus(f)$ is the minimum parity certificate complexity of $f$. We also show that for every $\epsilon\geq 0$, we have $H_{\infty}(\hat{f}^2)\leq 2\log (\|\hat{f}\|_{1,\epsilon}/(1-\epsilon))$, where $\|\hat{f}\|_{1,\epsilon}$ is the approximate spectral norm of $f$. As a corollary, we verify the FMEI conjecture for the class of read-$k$ $DNF$s (for constant $k$). 2) We show that $H(\hat{f}^2)\leq 2 aUC^\oplus(f)$, where $aUC^\oplus(f)$ is the average unambiguous parity certificate complexity of $f$. This improves upon Chakraborty et al. An important consequence of the FEI conjecture is the long-standing Mansour's conjecture. We show that a weaker version of FEI already implies Mansour's conjecture: is $H(\hat{f}^2)\leq C \min\{C^0(f),C^1(f)\}$?, where $C^0(f), C^1(f)$ are the 0- and 1-certificate complexities of $f$, respectively. 3) We study what FEI implies about the structure of polynomials that 1/3-approximate a Boolean function. We pose a conjecture (which is implied by FEI): no "flat" degree-$d$ polynomial of sparsity $2^{\omega(d)}$ can 1/3-approximate a Boolean function. We prove this conjecture unconditionally for a particular class of polynomials.

Abstract
This paper describes an implementation of fast near-neighbours queries (also known as range searching) with respect to the Fr\'echet distance. The algorithm is designed to be efficient on practical data such as GPS trajectories. Our approach is to use a quadtree data structure to enumerate all curves in the database that have similar start and endpoints as the query curve. On these curves we run positive and negative filters to narrow the set of potential results. Only for those trajectories where these heuristics fail, we compute the Fr\'echet distance exactly, by running a novel recursive variant of the classic free-space diagram algorithm. Our implementation won the ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS Cup 2017.

Abstract
This is the second in a series of papers on rank decompositions of the matrix multiplication tensor. We present new rank $23$ decompositions for the $3\times 3$ matrix multiplication tensor $M_{\langle 3\rangle}$. All our decompositions have symmetry groups that include the standard cyclic permutation of factors but otherwise exhibit a range of behavior. One of them has 11 cubes as summands and admits an unexpected symmetry group of order 12. We establish basic information regarding symmetry groups of decompositions and outline two approaches for finding new rank decompositions of $M_{\langle n\rangle}$ for larger $n$.

Abstract
A number of recent works have studied algorithms for entrywise $\ell_p$-low rank approximation, namely, algorithms which given an $n \times d$ matrix $A$ (with $n \geq d$), output a rank-$k$ matrix $B$ minimizing $\|A-B\|_p^p=\sum_{i,j}|A_{i,j}-B_{i,j}|^p$ when $p > 0$; and $\|A-B\|_0=\sum_{i,j}[A_{i,j}\neq B_{i,j}]$ for $p=0$. On the algorithmic side, for $p \in (0,2)$, we give the first $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm running in time $n^{\text{poly}(k/\epsilon)}$. Further, for $p = 0$, we give the first almost-linear time approximation scheme for what we call the Generalized Binary $\ell_0$-Rank-$k$ problem. Our algorithm computes $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation in time $(1/\epsilon)^{2^{O(k)}/\epsilon^{2}} \cdot nd^{1+o(1)}$. On the hardness of approximation side, for $p \in (1,2)$, assuming the Small Set Expansion Hypothesis and the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), we show that there exists $\delta := \delta(\alpha) > 0$ such that the entrywise $\ell_p$-Rank-$k$ problem has no $\alpha$-approximation algorithm running in time $2^{k^{\delta}}$.

Abstract
It follows from the Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava proof of the Kadison-Singer conjecture that if $G=(V,E)$ is a $\Delta$-regular dense expander then there is an edge-induced subgraph $H=(V,E_H)$ of $G$ of constant maximum degree which is also an expander. As with other consequences of the MSS theorem, it is not clear how one would explicitly construct such a subgraph. We show that such a subgraph (although with quantitatively weaker expansion and near-regularity properties than those predicted by MSS) can be constructed with high probability in linear time, via a simple algorithm. Our algorithm allows a distributed implementation that runs in $\mathcal O(\log n)$ rounds and does $\bigO(n)$ total work with high probability. The analysis of the algorithm is complicated by the complex dependencies that arise between edges and between choices made in different rounds. We sidestep these difficulties by following the combinatorial approach of counting the number of possible random choices of the algorithm which lead to failure. We do so by a compression argument showing that such random choices can be encoded with a non-trivial compression. Our algorithm bears some similarity to the way agents construct a communication graph in a peer-to-peer network, and, in the bipartite case, to the way agents select servers in blockchain protocols.

Abstract
Tree-adjoining grammars are a generalization of context-free grammars that are well suited to model human languages and are thus popular in computational linguistics. In the tree-adjoining grammar recognition problem, given a grammar $\Gamma$ and a string $s$ of length $n$, the task is to decide whether $s$ can be obtained from $\Gamma$. Rajasekaran and Yooseph's parser (JCSS'98) solves this problem in time $O(n^{2\omega})$, where $\omega < 2.373$ is the matrix multiplication exponent. The best algorithms avoiding fast matrix multiplication take time $O(n^6)$. The first evidence for hardness was given by Satta (J. Comp. Linguist.'94): For a more general parsing problem, any algorithm that avoids fast matrix multiplication and is significantly faster than $O(|\Gamma| n^6)$ in the case of $|\Gamma| = \Theta(n^{12})$ would imply a breakthrough for Boolean matrix multiplication. Following an approach by Abboud et al. (FOCS'15) for context-free grammar recognition, in this paper we resolve many of the disadvantages of the previous lower bound. We show that, even on constant-size grammars, any improvement on Rajasekaran and Yooseph's parser would imply a breakthrough for the $k$-Clique problem. This establishes tree-adjoining grammar parsing as a practically relevant problem with the unusual running time of $n^{2\omega}$, up to lower order factors.

Abstract
Let $B$ be a set of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that each box has a corner at the origin and the other corner in the positive quadrant of $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. We study the problem of selecting $k$ boxes in $B$ that maximize the volume of the union of the selected boxes. This research is motivated by applications in skyline queries for databases and in multicriteria optimization, where the problem is known as the hypervolume subset selection problem. It is known that the problem can be solved in polynomial time in the plane, while the best known running time in any dimension $d \ge 3$ is $\Omega\big(\binom{n}{k}\big)$. We show that: - The problem is NP-hard already in 3 dimensions. - In 3 dimensions, we break the bound $\Omega\big(\binom{n}{k}\big)$, by providing an $n^{O(\sqrt{k})}$ algorithm. - For any constant dimension $d$, we present an efficient polynomial-time approximation scheme.

Abstract
We show that the eccentricities, diameter, radius, and Wiener index of an undirected $n$-vertex graph with nonnegative edge lengths can be computed in time $O(n\cdot \binom{k+\lceil\log n\rceil}{k} \cdot 2^k k^2 \log n)$, where $k$ is the treewidth of the graph. For every $\epsilon>0$, this bound is $n^{1+\epsilon}\exp O(k)$, which matches a hardness result of Abboud, Vassilevska Williams, and Wang (SODA 2015) and closes an open problem in the multivariate analysis of polynomial-time computation. To this end, we show that the analysis of an algorithm of Cabello and Knauer (Comp. Geom., 2009) in the regime of non-constant treewidth can be improved by revisiting the analysis of orthogonal range searching, improving bounds of the form $\log^d n$ to $\binom{d+\lceil\log n\rceil}{d}$, as originally observed by Monier (J. Alg. 1980). We also investigate the parameterization by vertex cover number.

Abstract
We revisit the classic combinatorial pattern matching problem of finding a longest common subsequence (LCS). For strings $x$ and $y$ of length $n$, a textbook algorithm solves LCS in time $O(n^2)$, but although much effort has been spent, no $O(n^{2-\varepsilon})$-time algorithm is known. Recent work indeed shows that such an algorithm would refute the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) [Abboud, Backurs, Vassilevska Williams + Bringmann, K\"unnemann FOCS'15]. Despite the quadratic-time barrier, for over 40 years an enduring scientific interest continued to produce fast algorithms for LCS and its variations. Particular attention was put into identifying and exploiting input parameters that yield strongly subquadratic time algorithms for special cases of interest, e.g., differential file comparison. This line of research was successfully pursued until 1990, at which time significant improvements came to a halt. In this paper, using the lens of fine-grained complexity, our goal is to (1) justify the lack of further improvements and (2) determine whether some special cases of LCS admit faster algorithms than currently known. To this end, we provide a systematic study of the multivariate complexity of LCS, taking into account all parameters previously discussed in the literature: the input size $n:=\max\{|x|,|y|\}$, the length of the shorter string $m:=\min\{|x|,|y|\}$, the length $L$ of an LCS of $x$ and $y$, the numbers of deletions $\delta := m-L$ and $\Delta := n-L$, the alphabet size, as well as the numbers of matching pairs $M$ and dominant pairs $d$. For any class of instances defined by fixing each parameter individually to a polynomial in terms of the input size, we prove a SETH-based lower bound matching one of three known algorithms. Specifically, we determine the optimal running time for LCS under SETH as $(n+\min\{d, \delta \Delta, \delta m\})^{1\pm o(1)}$. [...]

Abstract
We study sketching and streaming algorithms for the Longest Common Subsequence problem (LCS) on strings of small alphabet size $|\Sigma|$. For the problem of deciding whether the LCS of strings $x,y$ has length at least $L$, we obtain a sketch size and streaming space usage of $\mathcal{O}(L^{|\Sigma| - 1} \log L)$. We also prove matching unconditional lower bounds. As an application, we study a variant of LCS where each alphabet symbol is equipped with a weight that is given as input, and the task is to compute a common subsequence of maximum total weight. Using our sketching algorithm, we obtain an $\mathcal{O}(\textrm{min}\{nm, n + m^{{\lvert \Sigma \rvert}}\})$-time algorithm for this problem, on strings $x,y$ of length $n,m$, with $n \ge m$. We prove optimality of this running time up to lower order factors, assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis.

Abstract
The discrete Fr\'echet distance is a popular measure for comparing polygonal curves. An important variant is the discrete Fr\'echet distance under translation, which enables detection of similar movement patterns in different spatial domains. For polygonal curves of length $n$ in the plane, the fastest known algorithm runs in time $\tilde{\cal O}(n^{5})$ [Ben Avraham, Kaplan, Sharir '15]. This is achieved by constructing an arrangement of disks of size ${\cal O}(n^{4})$, and then traversing its faces while updating reachability in a directed grid graph of size $N := {\cal O}(n^2)$, which can be done in time $\tilde{\cal O}(\sqrt{N})$ per update [Diks, Sankowski '07]. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, although it is an open problem to solve dynamic reachability in directed grid graphs faster than $\tilde{\cal O}(\sqrt{N})$, we improve this part of the algorithm: We observe that an offline variant of dynamic $s$-$t$-reachability in directed grid graphs suffices, and we solve this variant in amortized time $\tilde{\cal O}(N^{1/3})$ per update, resulting in an improved running time of $\tilde{\cal O}(n^{4.66...})$ for the discrete Fr\'echet distance under translation. Second, we provide evidence that constructing the arrangement of size ${\cal O}(n^{4})$ is necessary in the worst case, by proving a conditional lower bound of $n^{4 - o(1)}$ on the running time for the discrete Fr\'echet distance under translation, assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis.

Abstract
When setup/hold times of bistable elements are violated, they may become metastable, i.e., enter a transient state that is neither digital 0 nor 1. In general, metastability cannot be avoided, a problem that manifests whenever taking discrete measurements of analog values. Metastability of the output then reflects uncertainty as to whether a measurement should be rounded up or down to the next possible measurement outcome. Surprisingly, Lenzen and Medina (ASYNC 2016) showed that metastability can be contained, i.e., measurement values can be correctly sorted without resolving metastability first. However, both their work and the state of the art by Bund et al. (DATE 2017) leave open whether such a solution can be as small and fast as standard sorting networks. We show that this is indeed possible, by providing a circuit that sorts Gray code inputs (possibly containing a metastable bit) and has asymptotically optimal depth and size. Concretely, for 10-channel sorting networks and 16-bit wide inputs, we improve by 48.46% in delay and by 71.58% in area over Bund et al. Our simulations indicate that straightforward transistor-level optimization is likely to result in performance on par with standard (non-containing) solutions.

Abstract
Recently, an unconditional exponential separation between the hazard-free complexity and (standard) circuit complexity of explicit functions has been shown. This raises the question: which classes of functions permit efficient hazard-free circuits? Our main result is as follows. A \emph{transducer} is a finite state machine that transcribes, symbol by symbol, an input string of length $n$ into an output string of length $n$. We prove that any function arising from a transducer with $s$ states, that is input symbols which are encoded by $\ell$ bits, has a hazard-free circuit of size $2^{\BO(s+\ell)}\cdot n$ and depth $\BO(\ell+ s\cdot \log n)$; in particular, if $s, \ell\in \BO(1)$, size and depth are asymptotically optimal. We utilize our main result to derive efficient circuits for \emph{$k$-recoverable addition}. Informally speaking, a code is \emph{$k$-recoverable} if it does not increase uncertainty regarding the encoded value, so long as it is guaranteed that it is from $\{x,x+1,\ldots,x+k\}$ for some $x\in \NN_0$. We provide an asymptotically optimal $k$-recoverable code. We also realize a transducer with $\BO(k)$ states that adds two codewords from this $k$-recoverable code. Combined with our main result, we obtain a hazard-free adder circuit of size $2^{\BO(k)}n$ and depth $\BO(k\log n)$ with respect to this code, i.e., a $k$-recoverable adder circuit that adds two codewords of $n$ bits each. In other words, $k$-recoverable addition is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to $k$.

A cactus graph is a graph in which any two cycles are edge-disjoint. We present a constructive proof of the fact that any plane graph $G$ contains a cactus subgraph $C$ where $C$ contains at least a $\frac{1}{6}$ fraction of the triangular faces of $G$. We also show that this ratio cannot be improved by showing a tight lower bound. Together with an algorithm for linear matroid parity, our bound implies two approximation algorithms for computing "dense planar structures" inside any graph: (i) A $\frac{1}{6}$ approximation algorithm for, given any graph $G$, finding a planar subgraph with a maximum number of triangular faces; this improves upon the previous $\frac{1}{11}$-approximation; (ii) An alternate (and arguably more illustrative) proof of the $\frac{4}{9}$ approximation algorithm for finding a planar subgraph with a maximum number of edges. Our bound is obtained by analyzing a natural local search strategy and heavily exploiting the exchange arguments. Therefore, this suggests the power of local search in handling problems of this kind.

Abstract
In the Group Steiner Tree problem (GST), we are given a (vertex or edge)-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, a root vertex $r$ and a collection of groups $\{S_i\}_{i\in[h]}: S_i\subseteq V(G)$. The goal is to find a min-cost subgraph $H$ that connects the root to every group. We consider a fault-tolerant variant of GST, which we call Restricted (Rooted) Group SNDP. In this setting, each group $S_i$ has a demand $k_i\in[k],k\in\mathbb N$, and we wish to find a min-cost $H\subseteq G$ such that, for each group $S_i$, there is a vertex in $S_i$ connected to the root via $k_i$ (vertex or edge) disjoint paths. While GST admits $O(\log^2 n\log h)$ approximation, its high connectivity variants are Label-Cover hard, and for the vertex-weighted version, the hardness holds even when $k=2$. Previously, positive results were known only for the edge-weighted version when $k=2$ [Gupta et al., SODA 2010; Khandekar et al., Theor. Comput. Sci., 2012] and for a relaxed variant where the disjoint paths may end at different vertices in a group [Chalermsook et al., SODA 2015]. Our main result is an $O(\log n\log h)$ approximation for Restricted Group SNDP that runs in time $n^{f(k, w)}$, where $w$ is the treewidth of $G$. This nearly matches the lower bound when $k$ and $w$ are constant. The key to achieving this result is a non-trivial extension of the framework in [Chalermsook et al., SODA 2017], which embeds all feasible solutions to the problem into a dynamic program (DP) table. However, finding the optimal solution in the DP table remains intractable. We formulate a linear program relaxation for the DP and obtain an approximate solution via randomized rounding. This framework also allows us to systematically construct DP tables for high-connectivity problems. As a result, we present new exact algorithms for several variants of survivable network design problems in low-treewidth graphs.

Abstract
Competitive equilibrium is a central concept in economics with numerous applications beyond markets, such as scheduling, fair allocation of goods, or bandwidth distribution in networks. Computation of competitive equilibria has received a significant amount of interest in algorithmic game theory, mainly for the prominent case of Fisher markets. Natural and decentralized processes like tatonnement and proportional response dynamics (PRD) converge quickly towards equilibrium in large classes of Fisher markets. Almost all of the literature assumes that the market is a static environment and that the parameters of agents and goods do not change over time. In contrast, many large real-world markets are subject to frequent and dynamic changes. In this paper, we provide the first provable performance guarantees of discrete-time tatonnement and PRD in markets that are subject to perturbation over time. We analyze the prominent class of Fisher markets with CES utilities and quantify the impact of changes in supplies of goods, budgets of agents, and utility functions of agents on the convergence of tatonnement to market equilibrium. Since the equilibrium becomes a dynamic object and will rarely be reached, our analysis provides bounds expressing the distance to equilibrium that will be maintained via tatonnement and PRD updates. Our results indicate that in many cases, tatonnement and PRD follow the equilibrium rather closely and quickly recover conditions of approximate market clearing. Our approach can be generalized to analyzing a general class of Lyapunov dynamical systems with changing system parameters, which might be of independent interest.

Since the equilibrium becomes a dynamic object and will rarely be reached, our analysis provides bounds expressing the distance to equilibrium that will be maintained via tatonnement and PRD updates. Our results indicate that in many cases, tatonnement and PRD follow the equilibrium rather closely and quickly recover conditions of approximate market clearing. Our approach can be generalized to analyzing a general class of Lyapunov dynamical systems with changing system parameters, which might be of independent interest. %K Computer Science, Computer Science and Game Theory, cs.GT

Abstract
Several works have shown linear speedup is achieved by an asynchronous parallel implementation of stochastic coordinate descent so long as there is not too much parallelism. More specifically, it is known that if all updates are of similar duration, then linear speedup is possible with up to $\Theta(\sqrt n/L_{\mathsf{res}})$ processors, where $L_{\mathsf{res}}$ is a suitable Lipschitz parameter. This paper shows the bound is tight for essentially all possible values of $L_{\mathsf{res}}$.

Abstract
When solving massive optimization problems in areas such as machine learning, it is a common practice to seek speedup via massive parallelism. However, especially in an asynchronous environment, there are limits on the possible parallelism. Accordingly, we seek tight bounds on the viable parallelism in asynchronous implementations of coordinate descent. We focus on asynchronous coordinate descent (ACD) algorithms on convex functions $F:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of the form $$F(x) = f(x) ~+~ \sum_{k=1}^n \Psi_k(x_k),$$ where $f:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth convex function, and each $\Psi_k:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a univariate and possibly non-smooth convex function. Our approach is to quantify the shortfall in progress compared to the standard sequential stochastic gradient descent. This leads to a truly simple yet optimal analysis of the standard stochastic ACD in a partially asynchronous environment, which already generalizes and improves on the bounds in prior work. We also give a considerably more involved analysis for general asynchronous environments in which the only constraint is that each update can overlap with at most $q$ others, where $q$ is at most the number of processors times the ratio in the lengths of the longest and shortest updates. The main technical challenge is to demonstrate linear speedup in the latter environment. This stems from the subtle interplay of asynchrony and randomization. This improves Liu and Wright's (SIOPT'15) lower bound on the maximum degree of parallelism almost quadratically, and we show that our new bound is almost optimal.

Abstract
Consensus and Broadcast are two fundamental problems in distributed computing, whose solutions have several applications. Intuitively, Consensus should be no harder than Broadcast, and this can be rigorously established in several models. Can Consensus be easier than Broadcast? In models that allow noiseless communication, we prove a reduction of (a suitable variant of) Broadcast to binary Consensus, that preserves the communication model and all complexity parameters such as randomness, number of rounds, communication per round, etc., while there is a loss in the success probability of the protocol. Using this reduction, we get, among other applications, the first logarithmic lower bound on the number of rounds needed to achieve Consensus in the uniform GOSSIP model on the complete graph. The lower bound is tight and, in this model, Consensus and Broadcast are equivalent. We then turn to distributed models with noisy communication channels that have been studied in the context of some bio-inspired systems. In such models, only one noisy bit is exchanged when a communication channel is established between two nodes, and so one cannot easily simulate a noiseless protocol by using error-correcting codes. An $\Omega(\epsilon^{-2} n)$ lower bound on the number of rounds needed for Broadcast is proved by Boczkowski et al. [PLOS Comp. Bio. 2018] in one such model (noisy uniform PULL, where $\epsilon$ is a parameter that measures the amount of noise). In such model, we prove a new $\Theta(\epsilon^{-2} n \log n)$ bound for Broadcast and a $\Theta(\epsilon^{-2} \log n)$ bound for binary Consensus, thus establishing an exponential gap between the number of rounds necessary for Consensus versus Broadcast.

The papers~\cite{hatfimmokomi11} and~\cite{azizbrilharr13} propose algorithms for testing whether the choice function induced by a (strict) preference list of length $N$ over a universe $U$ is substitutable. The running time of these algorithms is $O(|U|^3\cdot N^3)$, respectively $O(|U|^2\cdot N^3)$. In this note we present an algorithm with running time $O(|U|^2\cdot N^2)$. Note that $N$ may be exponential in the size $|U|$ of the universe.

E. Cruciani, E. Natale, A. Nusser, and G. Scornavacca, “Phase Transition of the 2-Choices Dynamics on Core-Periphery Networks,” 2018. [Online]. Available: http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07223. (arXiv: 1804.07223)
Abstract
Consider the following process on a network: Each agent initially holds either opinion blue or red; then, in each round, each agent looks at two random neighbors and, if the two have the same opinion, the agent adopts it. This process is known as the 2-Choices dynamics and is arguably the most basic non-trivial opinion dynamics modeling voting behavior on social networks. Despite its apparent simplicity, 2-Choices has been analytically characterized only on networks with a strong expansion property -- under assumptions on the initial configuration that establish it as a fast majority consensus protocol. In this work, we aim at contributing to the understanding of the 2-Choices dynamics by considering its behavior on a class of networks with core-periphery structure, a well-known topological assumption in social networks. In a nutshell, assume that a densely-connected subset of agents, the core, holds a different opinion from the rest of the network, the periphery. Then, depending on the strength of the cut between the core and the periphery, a phase-transition phenomenon occurs: Either the core's opinion rapidly spreads among the rest of the network, or a metastability phase takes place, in which both opinions coexist in the network for superpolynomial time. The interest of our result is twofold. On the one hand, by looking at the 2-Choices dynamics as a simplistic model of competition among opinions in social networks, our theorem sheds light on the influence of the core on the rest of the network, as a function of the core's connectivity towards the latter. On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, we provide the first analytical result which shows a heterogeneous behavior of a simple dynamics as a function of structural parameters of the network. Finally, we validate our theoretical predictions with extensive experiments on real networks.

Abstract
This paper concerns proving almost tight (super-polynomial) running times, for achieving desired approximation ratios for various problems. To illustrate, the question we study, let us consider the Set-Cover problem with n elements and m sets. Now we specify our goal to approximate Set-Cover to a factor of (1-d)ln n, for a given parameter 0<d<1. What is the best possible running time for achieving such approximation? This question was answered implicitly in the work of Moshkovitz [Theory of Computing, 2015]: Assuming both the Projection Games Conjecture (PGC) and the Exponential-Time Hypothesis (ETH), any ((1-d) ln n)-approximation algorithm for Set-Cover must run in time >= 2^{n^{c d}}, for some constant 0<d<1. We study the questions along this line. First, we show that under ETH and PGC any ((1-d) \ln n)-approximation for Set-Cover requires 2^{n^{d}}-time. This (almost) matches the running time of 2^{O(n^d)} for approximating Set-Cover to a factor (1-d) ln n by Cygan et al. [IPL, 2009]. Our result is tight up to the constant multiplying the n^{d} terms in the exponent. This lower bound applies to all of its generalizations, e.g., Group Steiner Tree (GST), Directed Steiner (DST), Covering Steiner Tree (CST), Connected Polymatroid (CP). We also show that in almost exponential time, these problems reduce to Set-Cover: We show (1-d)ln n approximation algorithms for all these problems that run in time 2^{n^{d \log n } poly(m). We also study log^{2-d}n approximation for GST. Chekuri-Pal [FOCS, 2005] showed that GST admits (log^{2-d}n)-approximation in time exp(2^{log^{d+o(1)}n}), for any 0 < d < 1. We show the lower bound of GST: any (log^{2-d}n)-approximation for GST must run in time >= exp((1+o(1)){log^{d-c}n}), for any c>0, unless the ETH is false. Our result follows by analyzing the work of Halperin and Krauthgamer [STOC, 2003]. The same lower and upper bounds hold for CST.

Abstract
Communication across unsynchronized clock domains is inherently vulnerable to metastable upsets; no digital circuit can deterministically avoid, resolve, or detect metastability (Marino, 1981). Traditionally, a possibly metastable input is stored in synchronizers, decreasing the odds of maintained metastability over time. This approach costs time, and does not guarantee success. We propose a fundamentally different approach: It is possible to \emph{contain} metastability by logical masking, so that it cannot infect the entire circuit. This technique guarantees a limited degree of metastability in---and uncertainty about---the output. We present a synchronizer-free, fault-tolerant clock synchronization algorithm as application, synchronizing clock domains and thus enabling metastability-free communication. At the heart of our approach lies a model for metastability in synchronous clocked digital circuits. Metastability is propagated in a worst-case fashion, allowing to derive deterministic guarantees, without and unlike synchronizers. The proposed model permits positive results while at the same time reproducing established impossibility results regarding avoidance, resolution, and detection of metastability. Furthermore, we fully classify which functions can be computed by synchronous circuits with standard registers, and show that masking registers are computationally strictly more powerful.

Abstract
In the Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem we are given an $n$-vertex directed edge-weighted graph, a root $r$, and a collection of $k$ terminal nodes. Our goal is to find a minimum-cost arborescence that contains a directed path from $r$ to every terminal. We present an $O(\log^2 k/\log\log{k})$-approximation algorithm for DST that runs in quasi-polynomial-time. By adjusting the parameters in the hardness result of Halperin and Krauthgamer, we show the matching lower bound of $\Omega(\log^2{k}/\log\log{k})$ for the class of quasi-polynomial-time algorithms. This is the first improvement on the DST problem since the classical quasi-polynomial-time $O(\log^3 k)$ approximation algorithm by Charikar et al. (The paper erroneously claims an $O(\log^2k)$ approximation due to a mistake in prior work.) Our approach is based on two main ingredients. First, we derive an approximation preserving reduction to the Label-Consistent Subtree (LCST) problem. The LCST instance has quasi-polynomial size and logarithmic height. We remark that, in contrast, Zelikovsky's heigh-reduction theorem used in all prior work on DST achieves a reduction to a tree instance of the related Group Steiner Tree (GST) problem of similar height, however losing a logarithmic factor in the approximation ratio. Our second ingredient is an LP-rounding algorithm to approximately solve LCST instances, which is inspired by the framework developed by Rothvo{\ss}. We consider a Sherali-Adams lifting of a proper LP relaxation of LCST. Our rounding algorithm proceeds level by level from the root to the leaves, rounding and conditioning each time on a proper subset of label variables. A small enough (namely, polylogarithmic) number of Sherali-Adams lifting levels is sufficient to condition up to the leaves.

S. Heydrich, “A Tale of Two Packing Problems: Improved Algorithms and Tighter Bounds for Online Bin Packing and the Geometric Knapsack Problem,” Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, 2018.
Abstract
Abstract In this thesis, we deal with two packing problems: the online bin packing and the geometric knapsack problem. In online bin packing, the aim is to pack a given number of items of dierent size into a minimal number of containers. The items need to be packed one by one without knowing future items. For online bin packing in one dimension, we present a new family of algorithms that constitutes the rst improvement over the previously best algorithm in almost 15 years. While the algorithmic ideas are intuitive, an elaborate analysis is required to prove its competitive ratio. We also give a lower bound for the competitive ratio of this family of algorithms. For online bin packing in higher dimensions, we discuss lower bounds for the competitive ratio and show that the ideas from the one-dimensional case cannot be easily transferred to obtain better two-dimensional algorithms. In the geometric knapsack problem, one aims to pack a maximum weight subset of given rectangles into one square container. For this problem, we consider oine approximation algorithms. For geometric knapsack with square items, we improve the running time of the best known PTAS and obtain an EPTAS . This shows that large running times caused by some standard techniques for geometric packing problems are not always necessary and can be improved. Finally, we show how to use resource augmentation to compute optimal solutions in EPTAS -time, thereby improving upon the known PTAS for this case.

Abstract
Let $L$ be a Levi subgroup of $GL_N$ which acts by left multiplication on a Schubert variety $X(w)$ in the Grassmannian $G_{d,N}$. We say that $X(w)$ is a spherical Schubert variety if $X(w)$ is a spherical variety for the action of $L$. In earlier work we provide a combinatorial description of the decomposition of the homogeneous coordinate ring of $X(w)$ into irreducible $L$-modules for the induced action of $L$. In this work we classify those decompositions into irreducible $L$-modules that are multiplicity-free. This is then applied towards giving a complete classification of the spherical Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian.

Abstract
We study the problem of clock synchronization in highly dynamic networks, where communication links can appear or disappear at any time. The nodes in the network are equipped with hardware clocks, but the rate of the hardware clocks can vary arbitrarily within specific bounds, and the estimates that nodes can obtain about the clock values of other nodes are inherently inaccurate. Our goal in this setting is to output a logical clock at each node such that the logical clocks of any two nodes are not too far apart, and nodes that remain close to each other in the network for a long time are better synchronized than distant nodes. This property is called gradient clock synchronization. Gradient clock synchronization has been widely studied in the static setting, where the network topology does not change. We show that the asymptotically optimal bounds obtained for the static case also apply to our highly dynamic setting: if two nodes remain at distance $d$ from each other for sufficiently long, it is possible to upper bound the difference between their clock values by $O(d \log (D / d))$, where $D$ is the diameter of the network. This is known to be optimal even for static networks. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm has optimal stabilization time: when a path of length $d$ appears between two nodes, the time required until the clock skew between the two nodes is reduced to $O(d \log (D / d))$ is $O(D)$, which we prove to be optimal. Finally, the techniques employed for the more intricate analysis of the algorithm for dynamic graphs provide additional insights that are also of interest for the static setting. In particular, we establish self-stabilization of the gradient property within $O(D)$ time.

In particular, we establish self-stabilization of the gradient property within $O(D)$ time. %K Computer Science, Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing, cs.DC,Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS

M. Künnemann, “On Nondeterministic Derandomization of Freivalds’ Algorithm: Consequences, Avenues and Algorithmic Progress,” 2018. [Online]. Available: http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.09189. (arXiv: 1806.09189)
Abstract
Motivated by studying the power of randomness, certifying algorithms and barriers for fine-grained reductions, we investigate the question whether the multiplication of two $n\times n$ matrices can be performed in near-optimal nondeterministic time $\tilde{O}(n^2)$. Since a classic algorithm due to Freivalds verifies correctness of matrix products probabilistically in time $O(n^2)$, our question is a relaxation of the open problem of derandomizing Freivalds' algorithm. We discuss consequences of a positive or negative resolution of this problem and provide potential avenues towards resolving it. Particularly, we show that sufficiently fast deterministic verifiers for 3SUM or univariate polynomial identity testing yield faster deterministic verifiers for matrix multiplication. Furthermore, we present the partial algorithmic progress that distinguishing whether an integer matrix product is correct or contains between 1 and $n$ erroneous entries can be performed in time $\tilde{O}(n^2)$ -- interestingly, the difficult case of deterministic matrix product verification is not a problem of "finding a needle in the haystack", but rather cancellation effects in the presence of many errors. Our main technical contribution is a deterministic algorithm that corrects an integer matrix product containing at most $t$ errors in time $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{t} n^2 + t^2)$. To obtain this result, we show how to compute an integer matrix product with at most $t$ nonzeroes in the same running time. This improves upon known deterministic output-sensitive integer matrix multiplication algorithms for $t = \Omega(n^{2/3})$ nonzeroes, which is of independent interest.

Abstract
We consider the task of assigning indivisible goods to a set of agents in a fair manner. Our notion of fairness is Nash social welfare, i.e., the goal is to maximize the geometric mean of the utilities of the agents. Each good comes in multiple items or copies, and the utility of an agent diminishes as it receives more items of the same good. The utility of a bundle of items for an agent is the sum of the utilities of the items in the bundle. Each agent has a utility cap beyond which he does not value additional items. We give a polynomial time approximation algorithm that maximizes Nash social welfare up to a factor of $e^{1/e} \approx 1.445$.

Abstract
We present a combinatorial algorithm for determining the market clearing prices of a general linear Arrow-Debreu market, where every agent can own multiple goods. The existing combinatorial algorithms for linear Arrow-Debreu markets consider the case where each agent can own all of one good only. We present an $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}((n+m)^7 \log^3(UW))$ algorithm where $n$, $m$, $U$ and $W$ refer to the number of agents, the number of goods, the maximal integral utility and the maximum quantity of any good in the market respectively. The algorithm refines the iterative algorithm of Duan, Garg and Mehlhorn using several new ideas. We also identify the hard instances for existing combinatorial algorithms for linear Arrow-Debreu markets. In particular we find instances where the ratio of the maximum to the minimum equilibrium price of a good is $U^{\Omega(n)}$ and the number of iterations required by the existing iterative combinatorial algorithms of Duan, and Mehlhorn and Duan, Garg, and Mehlhorn are high. Our instances also separate the two algorithms.

Abstract
In this paper, we present two results on slime mold computations. The first one treats a biologically-grounded model, originally proposed by biologists analyzing the behavior of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. This primitive organism was empirically shown by Nakagaki et al. to solve shortest path problems in wet-lab experiments (Nature'00). We show that the proposed simple mathematical model actually generalizes to a much wider class of problems, namely undirected linear programs with a non-negative cost vector. For our second result, we consider the discretization of a biologically-inspired model. This model is a directed variant of the biologically-grounded one and was never claimed to describe the behavior of a biological system. Straszak and Vishnoi showed that it can $\epsilon$-approximately solve flow problems (SODA'16) and even general linear programs with positive cost vector (ITCS'16) within a finite number of steps. We give a refined convergence analysis that improves the dependence on $\epsilon$ from polynomial to logarithmic and simultaneously allows to choose a step size that is independent of $\epsilon$. Furthermore, we show that the dynamics can be initialized with a more general set of (infeasible) starting points.

Abstract
We propose a symbolic-numeric algorithm to count the number of solutions of a polynomial system within a local region. More specifically, given a zero-dimensional system $f_1=\cdots=f_n=0$, with $f_i\in\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and a polydisc $\mathbf{\Delta}\subset\mathbb{C}^n$, our method aims to certify the existence of $k$ solutions (counted with multiplicity) within the polydisc. In case of success, it yields the correct result under guarantee. Otherwise, no information is given. However, we show that our algorithm always succeeds if $\mathbf{\Delta}$ is sufficiently small and well-isolating for a $k$-fold solution $\mathbf{z}$ of the system. Our analysis of the algorithm further yields a bound on the size of the polydisc for which our algorithm succeeds under guarantee. This bound depends on local parameters such as the size and multiplicity of $\mathbf{z}$ as well as the distances between $\mathbf{z}$ and all other solutions. Efficiency of our method stems from the fact that we reduce the problem of counting the roots in $\mathbf{\Delta}$ of the original system to the problem of solving a truncated system of degree $k$. In particular, if the multiplicity $k$ of $\mathbf{z}$ is small compared to the total degrees of the polynomials $f_i$, our method considerably improves upon known complete and certified methods. For the special case of a bivariate system, we report on an implementation of our algorithm, and show experimentally that our algorithm leads to a significant improvement, when integrated as inclusion predicate into an elimination method.

Abstract
The edit distance between two rooted ordered trees with $n$ nodes labeled from an alphabet~$\Sigma$ is the minimum cost of transforming one tree into the other by a sequence of elementary operations consisting of deleting and relabeling existing nodes, as well as inserting new nodes. Tree edit distance is a well known generalization of string edit distance. The fastest known algorithm for tree edit distance runs in cubic $O(n^3)$ time and is based on a similar dynamic programming solution as string edit distance. In this paper we show that a truly subcubic $O(n^{3-\varepsilon})$ time algorithm for tree edit distance is unlikely: For $|\Sigma| = \Omega(n)$, a truly subcubic algorithm for tree edit distance implies a truly subcubic algorithm for the all pairs shortest paths problem. For $|\Sigma| = O(1)$, a truly subcubic algorithm for tree edit distance implies an $O(n^{k-\varepsilon})$ algorithm for finding a maximum weight $k$-clique. Thus, while in terms of upper bounds string edit distance and tree edit distance are highly related, in terms of lower bounds string edit distance exhibits the hardness of the strong exponential time hypothesis [Backurs, Indyk STOC'15] whereas tree edit distance exhibits the hardness of all pairs shortest paths. Our result provides a matching conditional lower bound for one of the last remaining classic dynamic programming problems.

Thus, while in terms of upper bounds string edit distance and tree edit distance are highly related, in terms of lower bounds string edit distance exhibits the hardness of the strong exponential time hypothesis [Backurs, Indyk STOC'15] whereas tree edit distance exhibits the hardness of all pairs shortest paths. Our result provides a matching conditional lower bound for one of the last remaining classic dynamic programming problems. %K Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, cs.DS

Abstract
We revisit the hardness of approximating the diameter of a network. In the CONGEST model, $\tilde \Omega (n)$ rounds are necessary to compute the diameter [Frischknecht et al. SODA'12]. Abboud et al. DISC 2016 extended this result to sparse graphs and, at a more fine-grained level, showed that, for any integer $1 \leq \ell \leq \operatorname{polylog} (n)$, distinguishing between networks of diameter $4 \ell + 2$ and $6 \ell + 1$ requires $\tilde \Omega (n)$ rounds. We slightly tighten this result by showing that even distinguishing between diameter $2 \ell + 1$ and $3 \ell + 1$ requires $\tilde \Omega (n)$ rounds. The reduction of Abboud et al. is inspired by recent conditional lower bounds in the RAM model, where the orthogonal vectors problem plays a pivotal role. In our new lower bound, we make the connection to orthogonal vectors explicit, leading to a conceptually more streamlined exposition. This is suited for teaching both the lower bound in the CONGEST model and the conditional lower bound in the RAM model.

Abstract
We study the problem of finding the cycle of minimum cost-to-time ratio in a directed graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. This problem has a long history in combinatorial optimization and has recently seen interesting applications in the context of quantitative verification. We focus on strongly polynomial algorithms to cover the use-case where the weights are relatively large compared to the size of the graph. Our main result is an algorithm with running time $\tilde O (m^{3/4} n^{3/2})$, which gives the first improvement over Megiddo's $\tilde O (n^3)$ algorithm [JACM'83] for sparse graphs. We further demonstrate how to obtain both an algorithm with running time $n^3 / 2^{\Omega{(\sqrt{\log n})}}$ on general graphs and an algorithm with running time $\tilde O (n)$ on constant treewidth graphs. To obtain our main result, we develop a parallel algorithm for negative cycle detection and single-source shortest paths that might be of independent interest.

Abstract
In 1979 Valiant showed that the complexity class VP_e of families with polynomially bounded formula size is contained in the class VP_s of families that have algebraic branching programs (ABPs) of polynomially bounded size. Motivated by the problem of separating these classes we study the topological closure VP_e-bar, i.e. the class of polynomials that can be approximated arbitrarily closely by polynomials in VP_e. We describe VP_e-bar with a strikingly simple complete polynomial (in characteristic different from 2) whose recursive definition is similar to the Fibonacci numbers. Further understanding this polynomial seems to be a promising route to new formula lower bounds. Our methods are rooted in the study of ABPs of small constant width. In 1992 Ben-Or and Cleve showed that formula size is polynomially equivalent to width-3 ABP size. We extend their result (in characteristic different from 2) by showing that approximate formula size is polynomially equivalent to approximate width-2 ABP size. This is surprising because in 2011 Allender and Wang gave explicit polynomials that cannot be computed by width-2 ABPs at all! The details of our construction lead to the aforementioned characterization of VP_e-bar. As a natural continuation of this work we prove that the class VNP can be described as the class of families that admit a hypercube summation of polynomially bounded dimension over a product of polynomially many affine linear forms. This gives the first separations of algebraic complexity classes from their nondeterministic analogs.

Abstract
Persistent Homology is a tool to analyze and visualize the shape of data from a topological viewpoint. It computes persistence, which summarizes the evolution of topological and geometric information about metric spaces over multiple scales of distances. While computing persistence is quite efficient for low-dimensional topological features, it becomes overwhelmingly expensive for medium to high-dimensional features. In this thesis, we attack this computational problem from several different angles. We present efficient techniques to approximate the persistence of metric spaces. Three of our methods are tailored towards general point clouds in Euclidean spaces. We make use of high dimensional lattice geometry to reduce the cost of the approximations. In particular, we discover several properties of the Permutahedral lattice, whose Voronoi cell is well-known for its combinatorial properties. The last method is suitable for point clouds with low intrinsic dimension, where we exploit the structural properties of the point set to tame the complexity. In some cases, we achieve a reduction in size complexity by trading off the quality of the approximation. Two of our methods work particularly well in conjunction with dimension-reduction techniques: we arrive at the first approximation schemes whose complexities are only polynomial in the size of the point cloud, and independent of the ambient dimension. On the other hand, we provide a lower bound result: we construct a point cloud that requires super-polynomial complexity for a high-quality approximation of the persistence. Together with our approximation schemes, we show that polynomial complexity is achievable for rough approximations, but impossible for sufficiently fine approximations. For some metric spaces, the intrinsic dimension is low in small neighborhoods of the input points, but much higher for large scales of distances. We develop a concept of local intrinsic dimension to capture this property. We also present several applications of this concept, including an approximation method for persistence. This thesis is written in English.

M. Dirnberger, “Preliminaries for Distributed Natural Computing Inspired by the Slime Mold Physarum Polycephalum,” Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, 2017.
Abstract
This doctoral thesis aims towards distributed natural computing inspired by the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The vein networks formed by this organism presumably support efficient transport of protoplasmic fluid. Devising models which capture the natural efficiency of the organism and form a suitable basis for the development of natural computing algorithms is an interesting and challenging goal. We start working towards this goal by designing and executing wet-lab experi- ments geared towards producing a large number of images of the vein networks of P. polycephalum. Next, we turn the depicted vein networks into graphs using our own custom software called Nefi. This enables a detailed numerical study, yielding a catalogue of characterizing observables spanning a wide array of different graph properties. To share our results and data, i.e. raw experimental data, graphs and analysis results, we introduce a dedicated repository revolving around slime mold data, the Smgr. The purpose of this repository is to promote data reuse and to foster a practice of increased data sharing. Finally we present a model based on interacting electronic circuits including current controlled voltage sources, which mimics the emergent flow patterns observed in live P. polycephalum. The model is simple, distributed and robust to changes in the underlying network topology. Thus it constitutes a promising basis for the development of distributed natural computing algorithms.

The vein networks formed by this organism presumably support efficient transport of protoplasmic fluid. Devising models which capture the natural efficiency of the organism and form a suitable basis for the development of natural computing algorithms is an interesting and challenging goal. We start working towards this goal by designing and executing wet-lab experi- ments geared towards producing a large number of images of the vein networks of P. polycephalum. Next, we turn the depicted vein networks into graphs using our own custom software called Nefi. This enables a detailed numerical study, yielding a catalogue of characterizing observables spanning a wide array of different graph properties. To share our results and data, i.e. raw experimental data, graphs and analysis results, we introduce a dedicated repository revolving around slime mold data, the Smgr. The purpose of this repository is to promote data reuse and to foster a practice of increased data sharing. Finally we present a model based on interacting electronic circuits including current controlled voltage sources, which mimics the emergent flow patterns observed in live P. polycephalum. The model is simple, distributed and robust to changes in the underlying network topology. Thus it constitutes a promising basis for the development of distributed natural computing algorithms. %U http://scidok.sulb.uni-saarland.de/volltexte/2017/6942/http://scidok.sulb.uni-saarland.de/doku/lic_ohne_pod.php?la=de

Abstract
We consider the canonical generalization of the well-studied Longest Increasing Subsequence problem to multiple sequences, called $k$-LCIS: Given $k$ integer sequences $X_1,\dots,X_k$ of length at most $n$, the task is to determine the length of the longest common subsequence of $X_1,\dots,X_k$ that is also strictly increasing. Especially for the case of $k=2$ (called LCIS for short), several algorithms have been proposed that require quadratic time in the worst case. Assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), we prove a tight lower bound, specifically, that no algorithm solves LCIS in (strongly) subquadratic time. Interestingly, the proof makes no use of normalization tricks common to hardness proofs for similar problems such as LCS. We further strengthen this lower bound (1) to rule out $O((nL)^{1-\varepsilon})$ time algorithms for LCIS, where $L$ denotes the solution size, (2) to rule out $O(n^{k-\varepsilon})$ time algorithms for $k$-LCIS, and (3) to follow already from weaker variants of SETH. We obtain the same conditional lower bounds for the related Longest Common Weakly Increasing Subsequence problem.

Abstract
In this paper we present distributed testing algorithms of graph properties in the CONGEST-model [Censor-Hillel et al. 2016]. We present one-sided error testing algorithms in the general graph model. We first describe a general procedure for converting $\epsilon$-testers with a number of rounds $f(D)$, where $D$ denotes the diameter of the graph, to $O((\log n)/\epsilon)+f((\log n)/\epsilon)$ rounds, where $n$ is the number of processors of the network. We then apply this procedure to obtain an optimal tester, in terms of $n$, for testing bipartiteness, whose round complexity is $O(\epsilon^{-1}\log n)$, which improves over the $poly(\epsilon^{-1} \log n)$-round algorithm by Censor-Hillel et al. (DISC 2016). Moreover, for cycle-freeness, we obtain a \emph{corrector} of the graph that locally corrects the graph so that the corrected graph is acyclic. Note that, unlike a tester, a corrector needs to mend the graph in many places in the case that the graph is far from having the property. In the second part of the paper we design algorithms for testing whether the network is $H$-free for any connected $H$ of size up to four with round complexity of $O(\epsilon^{-1})$. This improves over the $O(\epsilon^{-2})$-round algorithms for testing triangle freeness by Censor-Hillel et al. (DISC 2016) and for testing excluded graphs of size $4$ by Fraigniaud et al. (DISC 2016). In the last part we generalize the global tester by Iwama and Yoshida (ITCS 2014) of testing $k$-path freeness to testing the exclusion of any tree of order $k$. We then show how to simulate this algorithm in the CONGEST-model in $O(k^{k^2+1}\cdot\epsilon^{-k})$ rounds.

Abstract
We study three problems. The first is the phenomenon of metastability in digital circuits. This is a state of bistable storage elements, such as registers, that is neither logical 0 nor 1 and breaks the abstraction of Boolean logic. We propose a time- and value-discrete model for metastability in digital circuits and show that it reflects relevant physical properties. Further, we propose the fundamentally new approach of using logical masking to perform meaningful computations despite the presence of metastable upsets and analyze what functions can be computed in our model. Additionally, we show that circuits with masking registers grow computationally more powerful with each available clock cycle. The second topic are parallel algorithms, based on an algebraic abstraction of the Moore-Bellman-Ford algorithm, for solving various distance problems. Our focus are distance approximations that obey the triangle inequality while at the same time achieving polylogarithmic depth and low work. Finally, we study the continuous Terrain Guarding Problem. We show that it has a rational discretization with a quadratic number of guard candidates, establish its membership in NP and the existence of a PTAS, and present an efficient implementation of a solver.

Abstract
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for maximizing the Nash social welfare when allocating indivisible items to agents with budget-additive valuation functions. Budget-additive valuations represent an important class of submodular functions. They have attracted a lot of research interest in recent years due to many interesting applications. For every $\varepsilon > 0$, our algorithm obtains a $(2.404 + \varepsilon)$-approximation in time polynomial in the input size and $1/\varepsilon$. Our algorithm relies on rounding an approximate equilibrium in a linear Fisher market where sellers have earning limits (upper bounds on the amount of money they want to earn) and buyers have utility limits (upper bounds on the amount of utility they want to achieve). In contrast to markets with either earning or utility limits, these markets have not been studied before. They turn out to have fundamentally different properties. Although the existence of equilibria is not guaranteed, we show that the market instances arising from the Nash social welfare problem always have an equilibrium. Further, we show that the set of equilibria is not convex, answering a question of [Cole et al, EC 2017]. We design an FPTAS to compute an approximate equilibrium, a result that may be of independent interest.

Abstract
The secretary problem is a classic model for online decision making. Recently, combinatorial extensions such as matroid or matching secretary problems have become an important tool to study algorithmic problems in dynamic markets. Here the decision maker must know the numerical value of each arriving element, which can be a demanding informational assumption. In this paper, we initiate the study of combinatorial secretary problems with ordinal information, in which the decision maker only needs to be aware of a preference order consistent with the values of arrived elements. The goal is to design online algorithms with small competitive ratios. For a variety of combinatorial problems, such as bipartite matching, general packing LPs, and independent set with bounded local independence number, we design new algorithms that obtain constant competitive ratios. For the matroid secretary problem, we observe that many existing algorithms for special matroid structures maintain their competitive ratios even in the ordinal model. In these cases, the restriction to ordinal information does not represent any additional obstacle. Moreover, we show that ordinal variants of the submodular matroid secretary problems can be solved using algorithms for the linear versions by extending [Feldman and Zenklusen, 2015]. In contrast, we provide a lower bound of $\Omega(\sqrt{n}/(\log n))$ for algorithms that are oblivious to the matroid structure, where $n$ is the total number of elements. This contrasts an upper bound of $O(\log n)$ in the cardinal model, and it shows that the technique of thresholding is not sufficient for good algorithms in the ordinal model.
