Provable Quantum--Classical Separation for Continuous Gibbs Sampling

arXiv:2608.24527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove the first quantum--classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain. For a class of Gibbs states $p\propto e^{-\beta E}$ on the torus…

Stable Matching with Deviators and Conformists

arXiv:2601.18573v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the Stable Marriage and Stable Roommates problems, there are inherent trade-offs between the size and stability of solutions. While in the former problem, a…

Lower Bounds for Linear Hashing via Arithmetic Kakeya

arXiv:2608.24866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Affine modular linear hashing is one of the simplest classical hash families. For a prime $p > u$, the hash function is obtained by choosing $s,t$ uniformly from…

A 5/4 bound for graphic $s$-$t$ path TSP on subcubic graphs

arXiv:2608.11038v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the graphic $s$-$t$ path TSP on subcubic graphs (maximum degree 3): given distinct vertices $s,t$, find a shortest $s$-$t$ walk that visits every vertex. We…

Polynomial-time Stable Matching in Network Hypergraphs

arXiv:2608.24728v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm to find a stable matching in network hypergraphic preference systems. The key connection that drives the algorithm…

Instance-Optimality of Bidirectional Dijkstra on Simple Graphs

arXiv:2608.24380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the shortest-path problem on graphs with positive real-valued edge weights. Given a source vertex $s$ and a target vertex $t$, the goal is to calculate the length…

Tighter Bounds for Wheeler Determinization

arXiv:2607.01007v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Given a Wheeler NFA $\mathcal{A}$, the Wheeler determinization problem is to construct a Wheeler DFA $\mathcal{D}$ that accepts the same language as $\mathcal{A}$. We…

Beyond the Static Barrier for Ordinary Dynamic Approximate Membership

arXiv:2608.22413v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We prove a strict space separation between static and ordinary dynamic approximate membership at every fixed error rate. For each fixed $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$, a…

Online and Incremental Fractional Vertex Cover on Trees

arXiv:2608.24630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we study the fractional vertex cover problem on trees in two related models: online and incremental. In the online model, the vertices of the tree are known…

Exploiting Low Scanwidth to Resolve Soft Polytomies

arXiv:2511.20771v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Phylogenetic networks allow modeling reticulate evolution, capturing events such as hybridization and horizontal gene transfer. A fundamental computational problem in…

Designing Caterpillars for Graphs: Approximation and Hardness

arXiv:2608.24510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The classical Minimum Linear Arrangement (MLA) problem has been studied extensively. It is known to be NP-hard and it admits an $O(\sqrt{\log n}\log\log n)$-approximation…
