New Planar Algorithms and a Full Complexity Classification of the Eight-Vertex Model

Austen Fan, Jin-Yi Cai, Shuai Shao +1

We prove a complete complexity classification theorem for the planar eight-vertex model. For every parameter setting in for the eight-vertex model, the partition func…

Circuits and Formulas for Datalog over Semirings

Austen Z. Fan, Paraschos Koutris, Sudeepa Roy

In this paper, we study circuits and formulas for provenance polynomials of Datalog programs. We ask the following question: given an absorptive semiring and a fact of a Datalog pr…

The Fine-Grained Complexity of Boolean Conjunctive Queries and Sum-Product Problems

Austen Z. Fan, Paraschos Koutris, Hangdong Zhao

We study the fine-grained complexity of evaluating Boolean Conjunctive Queries and their generalization to sum-of-product problems over an arbitrary semiring. For these problems, w…

Planar 3-way Edge Perfect Matching Leads to A Holant Dichotomy

Jin-Yi Cai, Austen Z. Fan

We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for a class of Holant problems on planar 3-regular bipartite graphs. The complexity dichotomy states that for every weighted constraint func…

Properties of Position Matrices and Their Elections

Niclas Boehmer, Jin-Yi Cai, Piotr Faliszewski +4

We study the properties of elections that have a given position matrix (in such elections each candidate is ranked on each position by a number of voters specified in the matrix).…

Certifiable Robustness for Nearest Neighbor Classifiers

Austen Z. Fan, Paraschos Koutris

ML models are typically trained using large datasets of high quality. However, training datasets often contain inconsistent or incomplete data. To tackle this issue, one solution i…

Bipartite 3-Regular Counting Problems with Mixed Signs

Jin-Yi Cai, Austen Z. Fan, Yin Liu

We prove a complexity dichotomy for a class of counting problems expressible as bipartite 3-regular Holant problems. For every problem of the form $\operatorname{Holant}\left(f\mid…

A Prioritized Trajectory Planning Algorithm for Connected and Automated Vehicle Mandatory Lane Changes

Nachuan Li, Austen Z. Fan, Riley Fischer +2

We introduce a prioritized system-optimal algorithm for mandatory lane change (MLC) behavior of connected and automated vehicles (CAV) from a dedicated lane. Our approach applies a…
