On the Length of Strongly Monotone Descending Chains over
No full textA recent breakthrough by Künnemann, Mazowiecki, Schütze, Sinclair-Banks, and Wegrzycki (ICALP, 2023) bounds the running time for the coverability problem in -dimensional vector addition systems under unary encoding to , improving on Rackoff\u27s upper bound (Theor. Comput. Sci., 1978), and provides conditional matching lower bounds.
In this paper, we revisit Lazić and Schmitz\u27 ideal view of the backward coverability algorithm (Inform. Comput., 2021) in the light of this breakthrough. We show that the controlled strongly monotone descending chains of downwards-closed sets over that arise from the dual backward coverability algorithm of Lazić and Schmitz on -dimensional unary vector addition systems also enjoy this tight upper bound on their length, and that this also translates into the same bound on the running time of the backward coverability algorithm.
Furthermore, our analysis takes place in a more general setting than that of Lazić and Schmitz, which allows to show the same results and improve on the 2EXPSPACE upper bound derived by Benedikt, Duff, Sharad, and Worrell (LICS, 2017) for the coverability problem in invertible affine nets

Wingspan 6.5–7.9 mm (holotype: 7.8 mm). As <i>H. kahamanoa</i>, except forewing uniformly dark grey, sometimes with very few scattered white scales, with no distinct markings, although on some specimens the dark grey and/or cream markings can be more or less visible.</p> <p> Male genitalia (<i>N</i> = 1) (Fig. 6).

Wingspan 7.1–9.0 mm. As <i>H. kahamanoa</i>, except forewing uniformly dark grey.</p> <p> Female genitalia (<i>N</i> = 1) (Fig. 11B). As for <i>H. kahamanoa</i>, except for posterior apophyses about 3.5 ¥ length of anterior apophyses.</p> <p> Larval case (<i>N</i> = 247). Cone-shaped structure, 7.0– 8.0 mm in length, as <i>H. kahamanoa</i>, except case ventrally not as smooth, with more texture underneath and more a dull white than silver colour. Cases frequently less straight than <i>H. kahamanoa</i> giving the case a less angular, more irregular appearance.</p> <p> <i>Etymology:</i> The name <i>H. uhauiole</i> is derived from the Uhau‘iole stream on the eastern side of the island of Kauai where this species can be found.</p> <p> <i>Biology:</i> Adults were reared from amphibious casemaking larvae. Case-bearing larvae can be collected day or night on rocks in streams on the island of Kauai in February and August, but probably occur nearly year-round. The larvae of this moth can be seasonally abundant on rocks along the shoreline and in the middle of the streams where they occur. Moths were often seen flying between emergent rocks and crawling actively on them during the day. This species is partially sympatric and synchronic with <i>Hyposmocoma ipowainui</i> and <i>Hyposmocoma wailua</i>, a burrito and a bugle-cased species, respectively (see below for species descriptions). The exact range of this species is not clear, although it is replaced by the superficially similar species, <i>H. kawaikoi</i>, on the western side of Kauai, from which <i>H. uhauiole</i> is quite genetically distinct (Rubinoff, 2008). This suggests historical barriers to gene flow confirming at least the partial allopatry that we observed. Initial genetic data suggest the possibility of a cryptic species within the <i>H. uhauiole</i> lineage, but we were unable to see any corresponding morphological divergence and leave this issue for future research.</p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> Known only from various streams (Uhau‘iole, Wailua, and Keahua streams) found on the eastern side of the island of Kauai where it appears to be endemic.</p> <p> <i>Remarks:</i> This species can be abundant on and under rocks in and near flowing water but frequents small and large rocks, unlike the burrito-cased sympatric species, which seems to prefer large boulders, avoiding smaller rocks. Preliminary <i>COI</i> sequence data suggests a cryptic cone-cased sympatric species, but we have yet to find morphological characters to support any division.</p>Published as part of <i>Schmitz, Patrick & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2011, The Hawaiian amphibious caterpillar guild: new species of Hyposmocoma (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) confirm distinct aquatic invasions and complex speciation patterns, pp. 15-42 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 162 (1)</i> on pages 23-24, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2010.00676.x, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5440227">http://zenodo.org/record/5440227</a>

Deposited in BPBM, MHNG, UHIM, and USNM.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis:</i> In the genus <i>Hyposmocoma</i>, <i>H. ipowainui</i> is a relatively large species closely related to <i>Hyposmocoma kaikuono</i> Schmitz & Rubinoff, 2008 endemic to the island of Molokai, <i>Hyposmocoma kapakai</i> Schmitz & Rubinoff, 2008 endemic to the island of Oahu, <i>Hyposmocoma kaupo</i> Schmitz & Rubinoff, 2008 endemic to the island of Maui, and <i>Hyposmocoma montivolans</i> (Butler, 1882) endemic to the island of Oahu. Based only on wing pattern, <i>H. ipowainui</i> can be separated from <i>H. kapakai</i> and <i>H. montivolans</i> by the forewing ground colour being greyish blue and not olive green. It differs also in male genitalia from <i>H. kapakai</i> and <i>H. montivolans</i> by having a triangular projection on left valva like the other species mentioned, from <i>H. kaikuono</i> by having six sclerotized spur-like setae on each valva, two of them on the triangular projection, from <i>H. kaupo</i> by having a broad sclerotized ring on abdominal segment VII, and from <i>H. kaikuono</i>, <i>H. kapakai</i>, <i>H. kaupo</i>, and <i>H. montivolans</i> by having a straight, thick, and blunt sclerotized hook, not enlarged apically.</p> <p> <i>Description:</i> Male (<i>N =</i> 8) (Figs 12B, 16). Wingspan 11.8–14.5 mm (holotype: 13.3 mm). Head with greyish-blue white-tipped scales converging toward midline on occiput. Haustellum with greyish-blue brown-tipped scales. Maxillary palpus reduced. Labial palpus recurved with greyish-blue browntipped scales, subapically white ring on second segment, and slender dark-brown third segment. Antenna flagellum darkish brown; scape with scales white tipped at the end; antennal pecten present with up to eight thin setae. Thorax mostly greyish blue; dark brown at collar and at apex medially, with yellowish-orange scales laterally, more or less conspicuous and forming sometimes small spots; apex of tegula and outer margin of metathorax dark brown; metascutellum greyish beige. Foreleg coxa with offwhite and greyish-blue brown-tipped scales; femur, tibia, and tarsomeres mostly dark brown with offwhite ring at middle and apex of tibia, and apex of tarsomeres I– V. Midleg as foreleg, but also with ring of greyish-blue scales on tibia postmedially and extended off-white rings, spurs off-white. Hindleg as midleg. Forewing mostly greyish-blue with paletipped scales; off-white scales at jointure of wing; dark-brown markings as a basal band, a small basocostal spot not reaching dorsal margin, a medium size patch postbasally (slightly below midline), a submedial patch above midline, a larger oval submedially along posterior margin without reaching it, a medium size patch medially in middle of wing just above submedial oval, and a pair of medium patches, sometimes joined, situated postmedially, the patch below reaching inner margin; small off-white spots occuring at half and three-quarters along dorsal margin, with sometimes slightly off-white markings as small dots around dark-brown markings; fringe off-white to greyish beige with darker-tipped scales. Hindwing greyish brown with greyish-beige fringe. Subcostal brush conspicuous, on dorsal surface on anterior margin, dark grey extending half the length of hindwing (see Fig. 12B). Abdomen dorsally uniform shiny grey; ventrally off-white, with tuft of long pale beige scales on each side of genitalia. Sclerotized hook arising from distinct sclerotized ring on the right side of tergum VII, elongate, slightly curved, narrowing apically to blunt apex; minute sclerotized point on the left side; sternum VII with triangular fold in the middle pointing perpendicularly. Genital flaps on sternum VIII, rounded, broad, and thin.</p> <p> Male genitalia (<i>N =</i> 2) (Fig. 16). Uncus-like processes with right process elongate, curved ventrally, apically pointed, about four ¥ longer than reduced left process. Tegumen wide, heavily sclerotized, dorsoventrally flattened, ventral connection broad. Valvae asymmetrical, with long and slender arms adorned with dense setae arranged comb-like along dorsal margin, broadened distally, with six prominent, uniformly spaced, sclerotized spur-like setae, sequentially longer distally, setae thinner and shorter, arranged more densely on right valva, left valva with subapical triangular projection adorned with two spur-like setae. Phallus slightly bent to the right at about two-thirds of length, stout, blunt tipped, heavily sclerotized, bulbous at base. Anellus with asymmetrical lobes, left lobe with broad bulbous projection at middle, then terminating in short point, right lobe delicate and slightly curved, bulbous at end, both adorned with small setae, two to three very long setae on apex, two ¥ length of phallus.</p> <p> Female (<i>N =</i> 12). Wingspan 12.6–16.0 mm. Frenulum with three acanthae. Antenna slightly thinner than that of male. Otherwise externally like males.</p> <p> Female genitalia (<i>N =</i> 2) (Fig. 20B). Papillae anales short, lightly sclerotized and setose, slightly longer than wide, pointed lateroapically. Posterior apophyses very slender and straight, about five ¥ length of papillae anales. Anterior apophyses slightly broader and about one-third ¥ length of posterior apophyses. Ostium-bearing process heavily sclerotized, externally protruding, question-marked shaped, broad at base with sickle-shaped apex. Ductus bursae short, of medium girth. Inception of ductus seminalis large, at about one-third length of corpus bursae, situated behind of corpus bursae. Apical margin of sternum VII with slight broad emargination medially. Corpus bursae oval and elongate, with light scobination, lightly sclerotized from about middle to pointed proximal end; signum absent.</p> <p> Larva cases (<i>N =</i> 83) (Fig. 14B). Burrito-shaped structure, 6.0–9.0 mm long, in reference to the shape of a type of Mexican food that consists of a flour tortilla wrapped around a filling, large and rounded with a curved pointed distal end, decorated with bits of sand, pebbles, and lichens entangled in silk filaments. Case background colour ranges from grey to brown.</p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> Presumed to be endemic to the streams and rivers of the Hawaiian island of Kauai.</p> <p> <i>Remarks:</i> This aquatic burrito species is amongst the largest on any of the islands. In remarkable contrast to the localized speciation of the cone and bugle species on Kauai, <i>H. ipowainui</i> is found across Kauai and the ranges of the other species and has apparently not speciated along the same geographical boundaries as the cone lineage. Further research into this phylogeographical discontinuity on Kauai and why it does not affect this species is warranted. This species can be abundant and smaller larvae may be mistaken for the smaller burrito-cased species <i>Hyposmocoma aumakuawai</i>, although the adult moths are clearly distinct, and experience with the larvae reveals differences in the cases.</p>Published as part of <i>Schmitz, Patrick & Rubinoff, Daniel, 2011, The Hawaiian amphibious caterpillar guild: new species of Hyposmocoma (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) confirm distinct aquatic invasions and complex speciation patterns, pp. 15-42 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 162 (1)</i> on pages 32-34, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2010.00676.x, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5440227">http://zenodo.org/record/5440227</a>
