Hardness of RNA Folding Problem With Four Symbols
Get PDFAn RNA sequence is a string composed of four types of nucleotides, A, C, G, and U. Given an RNA sequence, the goal of the RNA folding problem is to find a maximum cardinality set of crossing-free pairs of the form {A,U} or {C,G}. The problem is central in bioinformatics and has received much attention over the years. Whether the RNA folding problem can be solved in O(n^{3-epsilon}) time remains an open problem. Recently, Abboud, Backurs, and Williams (FOCS'15) made the first progress by showing a conditional lower bound for a generalized version of the RNA folding problem based on a conjectured hardness of the -clique problem. However, their proof requires alphabet size >= 36 to work, making the result biologically irrelevant. In this paper, by constructing the gadgets using a lemma of Bringmann and Künnemann (FOCS'15) and surrounding them with some carefully designed sequences, we improve upon the framework of Abboud et al. to handle the case of alphabet size 4, yielding a conditional lower bound for the RNA folding problem. We also investigate the Dyck edit distance problem. We demonstrate a reduction from RNA folding problem to Dyck edit distance problem of alphabet size 10, establishing a connection between the two fundamental string problems. This leads to a much simpler proof of the conditional lower bound for Dyck edit distance problem given by Abboud et al. and lowers the required alphabet size for the lower bound to work
Ortho-Radial Drawing in Near-Linear Time
Get PDFAn orthogonal drawing is an embedding of a plane graph into a grid. In a seminal work of Tamassia (SIAM Journal on Computing 1987), a simple combinatorial characterization of angle assignments that can be realized as bend-free orthogonal drawings was established, thereby allowing an orthogonal drawing to be described combinatorially by listing the angles of all corners. The characterization reduces the need to consider certain geometric aspects, such as edge lengths and vertex coordinates, and simplifies the task of graph drawing algorithm design.
Barth, Niedermann, Rutter, and Wolf (SoCG 2017) established an analogous combinatorial characterization for ortho-radial drawings, which are a generalization of orthogonal drawings to cylindrical grids. The proof of the characterization is existential and does not result in an efficient algorithm. Niedermann, Rutter, and Wolf (SoCG 2019) later addressed this issue by developing quadratic-time algorithms for both testing the realizability of a given angle assignment as an ortho-radial drawing without bends and constructing such a drawing.
In this paper, we improve the time complexity of these tasks to near-linear time. We establish a new characterization for ortho-radial drawings based on the concept of a good sequence. Using the new characterization, we design a simple greedy algorithm for constructing ortho-radial drawings
The Distributed Complexity of Locally Checkable Labeling Problems Beyond Paths and Trees
Get PDFWe consider locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. Since 2016, there has been a substantial body of work examining the possible complexities of LCL problems. For example, it has been established that there are no LCL problems exhibiting deterministic complexities falling between ω(log^∗ n) and o(log n). This line of inquiry has yielded a wealth of algorithmic techniques and insights that are useful for algorithm designers.
While the complexity landscape of LCL problems on general graphs, trees, and paths is now well understood, graph classes beyond these three cases remain largely unexplored. Indeed, recent research trends have shifted towards a fine-grained study of special instances within the domains of paths and trees.
In this paper, we generalize the line of research on characterizing the complexity landscape of LCL problems to a much broader range of graph classes. We propose a conjecture that characterizes the complexity landscape of LCL problems for an arbitrary class of graphs that is closed under minors, and we prove a part of the conjecture.
Some highlights of our findings are as follows.
- We establish a simple characterization of the minor-closed graph classes sharing the same deterministic complexity landscape as paths, where O(1), Θ(log^∗ n), and Θ(n) are the only possible complexity classes.
- It is natural to conjecture that any minor-closed graph class shares the same complexity landscape as trees if and only if the graph class has bounded treewidth and unbounded pathwidth. We prove the "only if" part of the conjecture.
- For the class of graphs with pathwidth at most k, we show the existence of LCL problems with randomized and deterministic complexities Θ(n), Θ(n^{1/2}), Θ(n^{1/3}), …, Θ(n^{1/k}) and the non-existence of LCL problems whose deterministic complexity is between ω(log^∗ n) and o(n^{1/k}). Consequently, in addition to the well-known complexity landscapes for paths, trees, and general graphs, there are infinitely many different complexity landscapes among minor-closed graph classes
