Correct Answers, Invalid Traces: What Verifiable Grade-School Math Reveals About Chain-of-Thought Traces

Ratish Puduppully, Pranabendu Misra, Paarth Iyer +3

Chain-of-thought traces are widely read as records of how models reach their answers, informing debugging, agent auditing, and claims about reasoning. Testing this interpretation i…

Connectivity Augmentation of Plane Graphs

Krishnan Dehaleesan, Asif Khan, Pranabendu Misra

We study the problem of connectivity augmentation of a planar graph, while preserving planarity. This problem is motivated by many real-world settings such as road-networks, power-…

Space Efficient Algorithms for Parameterised Problems

Sheikh Shakil Akhtar, Pranabendu Misra, Geevarghese Philip

We study "space efficient" FPT algorithms for graph problems with limited memory. Let n be the size of the input graph and k be the parameter. We present algorithms that run in tim…

Addressing Bias in Algorithmic Solutions: Exploring Vertex Cover and Feedback Vertex Set

Sheikh Shakil Akhtar, Jayakrishnan Madathil, Pranabendu Misra +1

A typical goal of research in combinatorial optimization is to come up with fast algorithms that find optimal solutions to a computational problem. The process that takes a real-wo…

A Single Exponential-Time FPT Algorithm for Cactus Contraction

R. Krithika, Pranabendu Misra, Prafullkumar Tale

For a collection of graphs, the -\textsc{Contraction} problem takes a graph and an integer as input and decides if can be modified to some gr…

Robust Contraction Decomposition for Minor-Free Graphs and its Applications

Sayan Bandyapadhyay, William Lochet, Daniel Lokshtanov +6

We prove a robust contraction decomposition theorem for -minor-free graphs, which states that given an -minor-free graph and an integer , one can partition in polynomi…
