On the dynamic compressibility of sets

Abstract

We define a new notion of compressibility of a set of numbers through the dynamics of a polynomial function. We provide approaches to solve the problem by reducing it to the multi-criteria traveling salesman problem through a series of transformations. We then establish computational complexity results by giving some NP-completeness proofs. We also discuss about a notion of $\epsilon$ K-compressibility of a set, with regard to lossy compression and deduce the necessary condition for the given set to be $\epsilon$ K-compressible. Finally, we conclude by providing a list of open problems solutions to which could extend the applicability the our technique.

The Computational Complexity of Holant Problems on 4-regular Graphs from the Stable Subgroup Sequence of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$

The Holant framework provides a general setting for studying counting problems and includes graph homomorphisms (\#GH) and counting constraint satisfaction problems (\#CSP) as special cases. Over the past twenty years, a series of computational complexity dichotomies have been established for Holant problems, but the classification for complex-valued signatures is still open. The main obstacle is the case in which all signatures have even arity. In this paper, we establish a dichotomy for Holant problems with a complex-valued 4-ary signature, which is a key base case for the full classification of Holant problems. We present a new strategy by introducing Schur's theorem, the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and stable subgroup sequences into the proof. These new techniques are of independent interest.

Topology inside NC$^1$

We show that ACC$^0$ is precisely what can be computed with constant-width circuits of polynomial size and polylogarithmic genus. This extends a characterization given by Hansen, showing that planar constant-width circuits also characterize ACC$^0$. Thus polylogarithmic genus provides no additional computational power in this model. We consider other generalizations of planarity, including crossing number and thickness. We show that constant-width circuits of polynomial size and thickness two already suffice to capture all of NC$^1$.
