Tightness is a generalisation of the notion of convexity: a space is tight if and only if it is as convex as possible, given its topological constraints. For a simplicial complex, deciding tightness has a straightforward exponential time algorithm, but efficient methods to decide tightness are only known in the trivial setting of triangulated surfaces. In this article, we present a new polynomial time procedure to decide tightness for triangulations of $3$-manifolds -- a problem which previously was thought to be hard. Furthermore, we describe an algorithm to decide general tightness in the case of $4$-dimensional combinatorial manifolds which is fixed parameter tractable in the treewidth of the $1$-skeletons of their vertex links, and we present an algorithm to decide $mathbb{F}_2$-tightness for weak pseudomanifolds $M$ of arbitrary but fixed dimension which is fixed parameter tractable in the treewidth of the dual graph of $M$.

Given two sets $S$ and $T$ of points in the plane, of total size $n$, a {many-to-many} matching between $S$ and $T$ is a set of pairs $(p,q)$ such that $pin S$, $qin T$ and for each $rin Scup T$, $r$ appears in at least one such pair. The {cost of a pair} $(p,q)$ is the (Euclidean) distance between $p$ and $q$. In the {minimum-cost many-to-many matching} problem, the goal is to compute a many-to-many matching such that the sum of the costs of the pairs is minimized. This problem is a restricted version of minimum-weight edge cover in a bipartite graph, and hence can be solved in $O(n^3)$ time. In a more restricted setting where all the points are on a line, the problem can be solved in $O(nlog n)$ time [Colannino, Damian, Hurtado, Langerman, Meijer, Ramaswami, Souvaine, Toussaint; Graphs Comb., 2007]. However, no progress has been made in the general planar case in improving the cubic time bound. In this paper, we obtain an $O(n^2cdot poly(log n))$ time exact algorithm and an $O( n^{3/2}cdot poly(log n))$ time $(1+epsilon)$-approximation in the planar case. Our results affirmatively address an open problem posed in [Colannino et al., Graphs Comb., 2007].
In this paper, we propose efficient probabilistic algorithms for several problems regarding the autocorrelation spectrum. First, we present a quantum algorithm that samples from the Walsh spectrum of any derivative of $f()$. Informally, the autocorre lation coefficient of a Boolean function $f()$ at some point $a$ measures the average correlation among the values $f(x)$ and $f(x oplus a)$. The derivative of a Boolean function is an extension of autocorrelation to correlation among multiple values of $f()$. The Walsh spectrum is well-studied primarily due to its connection to the quantum circuit for the Deutsch-Jozsa problem. We extend the idea to Higher-order Deutsch-Jozsa quantum algorithm to obtain points corresponding to large absolute values in the Walsh spectrum of a certain derivative of $f()$. Further, we design an algorithm to sample the input points according to squares of the autocorrelation coefficients. Finally we provide a different set of algorithms for estimating the square of a particular coefficient or cumulative sum of their squares.
Consider a graph with a rotation system, namely, for every vertex, a circular ordering of the incident edges. Given such a graph, an angle cover maps every vertex to a pair of consecutive edges in the ordering -- an angle -- such that each edge parti cipates in at least one such pair. We show that any graph of maximum degree 4 admits an angle cover, give a poly-time algorithm for deciding if a graph with no degree-3 vertices has an angle-cover, and prove that, given a graph of maximum degree 5, it is NP-hard to decide whether it admits an angle cover. We also consider extensions of the angle cover problem where every vertex selects a fixed number $a>1$ of angles or where an angle consists of more than two consecutive edges. We show an application of angle covers to the problem of deciding if the 2-blowup of a planar graph has isomorphic thickness 2.
An $h$-queue layout of a graph $G$ consists of a linear order of its vertices and a partition of its edges into $h$ queues, such that no two independent edges of the same queue nest. The minimum $h$ such that $G$ admits an $h$-queue layout is the que ue number of $G$. We present two fixed-parameter tractable algorithms that exploit structural properties of graphs to compute optimal queue layouts. As our first result, we show that deciding whether a graph $G$ has queue number $1$ and computing a corresponding layout is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the treedepth of $G$. Our second result then uses a more restrictive parameter, the vertex cover number, to solve the problem for arbitrary $h$.
Ailon et al. [SICOMP11] proposed self-improving algorithms for sorting and Delaunay triangulation (DT) when the input instances $x_1,cdots,x_n$ follow some unknown emph{product distribution}. That is, $x_i$ comes from a fixed unknown distribution $ma thsf{D}_i$, and the $x_i$s are drawn independently. After spending $O(n^{1+varepsilon})$ time in a learning phase, the subsequent expected running time is $O((n+ H)/varepsilon)$, where $H in {H_mathrm{S},H_mathrm{DT}}$, and $H_mathrm{S}$ and $H_mathrm{DT}$ are the entropies of the distributions of the sorting and DT output, respectively. In this paper, we allow dependence among the $x_i$s under the emph{group product distribution}. There is a hidden partition of $[1,n]$ into groups; the $x_i$s in the $k$-th group are fixed unknown functions of the same hidden variable $u_k$; and the $u_k$s are drawn from an unknown product distribution. We describe self-improving algorithms for sorting and DT under this model when the functions that map $u_k$ to $x_i$s are well-behaved. After an $O(mathrm{poly}(n))$-time training phase, we achieve $O(n + H_mathrm{S})$ and $O(nalpha(n) + H_mathrm{DT})$ expected running times for sorting and DT, respectively, where $alpha(cdot)$ is the inverse Ackermann function.
