Tight Complexity Bounds for Counting Generalized Dominating Sets in Bounded-Treewidth Graphs Part II: Hardness Results

Jacob Focke, Dániel Marx, Fionn Mc Inerney +4

For a well-studied family of domination-type problems, in bounded-treewidth graphs, we investigate whether it is possible to find faster algorithms. For sets of non-negative…

Optimal Algorithms for Bounded Weighted Edit Distance

Alejandro Cassis, Tomasz Kociumaka, Philip Wellnitz

The edit distance of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions of characters needed to transform one string into the other. The textbook dynamic…

Clique-Based Lower Bounds for Parsing Tree-Adjoining Grammars

Karl Bringmann, Philip Wellnitz

Tree-adjoining grammars are a generalization of context-free grammars that are well suited to model human languages and are thus popular in computational linguistics. In the tree-a…
