Shuffle Product and Directed Bandwidth are XNLP-complete, settling open questions and implying parameterized hardness for scheduling with precedence delays.
A bisimulation-invariant synthesis framework for optimal predicate pushdown in fold-based UDFs produces correct transformations that speed up 150 real pipelines by 2.4x on average.
The Contiguous Art Gallery problem is solved in Θ(n log n) time in the real RAM model, improving the prior O(k n^5 log n) upper bound and proving an Ω(n log n) lower bound.
Dense network coding computes group operations over multiaccess networks with half the classical communication cost using shared entanglement plus quantum channels, and yields measurement-device-independent quantum key growing.
FeAVL achieves fully persistent dynamic LCE with O(log n) updates and equality, O(log n + log²ℓ) LCE w.h.p., and an AVL grammar version with O(g0 + I + U log n_max) permanent nodes.
Establishes tight n^{Theta(k^{d-1})} runtime bounds for d-Clique Packing parameterized by clique-width under ETH for fixed d >= 3.
Ancestor-based and anchored triples allow polynomial-time solutions to consistency problems in phylogenetic networks, with construction of realizing DAGs and networks.
New constructions intersect k NFAs in O(m n^{k-1}) transitions for fixed alphabet, enabling faster emptiness algorithms that are optimal unless (k+1)-clique detection admits a combinatorial breakthrough.
Bandit algorithms can be adapted to Tree MDPs by treating policies as arms with shared-data confidence bounds, achieving polynomial memory and instance-dependent bounds on sample complexity and regret that depend on terminal-state gaps rather than all policies.
Balanced Biclique Reconfiguration on bipartite graphs is PSPACE-complete, implying PSPACE-completeness for spanning subgraph reconfiguration of (i,j)-bicliques and for two-component connected-components reconfiguration under all token rules.
Oracle modalities are the least forcing a predicate, every modality is an oracle modality via adjoint retraction to containers, and sheaves are algebras for the monad of quotient-inductive computation trees.
First efficient sum-of-squares algorithms recover exact and approximate overlapping planted cliques in dense random intersection graphs for k ≫ √(n log n), with robustness to noise, monotone adversaries, and optimal edge corruptions.
Defines LCR problem on always-connected temporal graphs, gives DP algorithm, proves APX-hardness of shortest reconfiguration, and establishes equivalence to STSR.
A decomposition-based framework finds entire sets of irrelevant vertices in linear time on bounded-genus graphs, enabling linear-time algorithms for minor containment, disjoint paths, and deletion problems.
Scaling MLN weights by 1/n induces a weight-independent 0-1 law for FO logic; unscaled weights produce seven regimes with possible phase transitions and convergence laws.
An O(4^{k + k log k} n + n m^2)-time algorithm for TREE CONTAINMENT parameterized by scanwidth k of a given tree-extension, with a matching ETH lower bound of no 2^{o(c log c)} n^{O(1)} algorithm for directed cutwidth c even on binary inputs.
Non-Markovian policies from decomposed temporal logic value functions are proven optimal for nested Until, Globally, and Globally-Until specifications and extend Q-function safety filters to complex tasks.
Introduces a single-number performance measure, file-based benchmarking, and efficient text-file storage to evaluate and compare stopping criteria for EMO algorithms.
In the dueling bandit setting, the (1+1) EA selects the Condorcet winner with only constant probability when its advantage is Ω(1/n), while a Max-Min Ant System EDA selects it with probability 1-Θ(p), and repeated duels improve the EA's performance.
f-smooth words equal factors of smooth words, and their complexity is Θ(n^{log(a+b)/log((a+b)/2)}) on even binary alphabets, with the lower bound for all binary alphabets.
Connectivity-preserving important separators can be enumerated in 2^{O(k log k)} time, yielding an FPT algorithm for Node Multiway Cut–Uncut that improves the previous 2^{O(k^2 log k)} dependence.
Deciding ffn(G) <= m is NP-hard, shortest strategies on complete binary trees have superpolynomial length, with almost sharp bounds for those trees and transfer of results to the Hunter and Rabbit game.
Derives query lower bounds matching lattice width for Tarski fixed point enumeration of isotone maps and gives poly-space algorithms for increasing/decreasing cases on lattices including binary relations.
