Removing additive structure in 3sum-based reductions

C Jin, Y Xu - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Our work explores the hardness of 3SUM instances without certain additive structures, and
its applications. As our main technical result, we show that solving 3SUM on a size-n integer …

Tight hardness for shortest cycles and paths in sparse graphs

A Lincoln, VV Williams, R Williams - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual …, 2018 - SIAM

Hardness of approximation in P via short cycle removal: cycle detection, distance oracles, and beyond

A Abboud, K Bringmann, S Khoury… - Proceedings of the 54th …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We present a new technique for efficiently removing almost all short cycles in a graph
without unintentionally removing its triangles. Consequently, triangle finding problems do …

Fredman's Trick Meets Dominance Product: Fine-Grained Complexity of Unweighted APSP, 3SUM Counting, and More

Suppose the fastest algorithm that we can design for some problem runs in time O (n^ 2).
However, we want to solve the problem on big data inputs, for which quadratic time is …

Approximation algorithms and hardness for n-pairs shortest paths and all-nodes shortest cycles

M Dalirrooyfard, C Jin, VV Williams… - 2022 IEEE 63rd Annual …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the approximability of two related problems on graphs with n nodes and m edges:
n-Pairs Shortest Paths (n-PSP), where the goal is to find a shortest path between O (n) …

Improved approximation bounds for minimum weight cycle in the congest model

V Manoharan, V Ramachandran - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.08670, 2023 - arxiv.org
Minimum Weight Cycle (MWC) is the problem of finding a simple cycle of minimum weight in
a graph $ G=(V, E) $. This is a fundamental graph problem with classical sequential …

Equivalences between triangle and range query problems

L Duraj, K Kleiner, A Polak, VV Williams - … of the Fourteenth Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2020 - SIAM
We define a natural class of range query problems, and prove that all problems within this
class have the same time complexity (up to polylogarithmic factors). The equivalence is very …

Computing Replacement Paths in the CONGEST Model

V Manoharan, V Ramachandran - International Colloquium on Structural …, 2024 - Springer
We present several results on the round complexity of Replacement Paths and Second
