Computing the similarity of two point sets is a ubiquitous task in medical imaging, geometric shape comparison, trajectory analysis, and many more settings. Arguably the most basic distance measure for this task is the Hausdorff distance, which assigns to each point from one set the closest point in the other set and then evaluates the maximum distance of any assigned pair. A drawback is that this distance measure is not translational invariant, that is, comparing two objects just according to their shape while disregarding their position in space is impossible. Fortunately, there is a canonical translational invariant version, the Hausdorff distance under translation, which minimizes the Hausdorff distance over all translations of one of the point sets. For point sets of size $n$ and $m$, the Hausdorff distance under translation can be computed in time $tilde O(nm)$ for the $L_1$ and $L_infty$ norm [Chew, Kedem SWAT92] and $tilde O(nm (n+m))$ for the $L_2$ norm [Huttenlocher, Kedem, Sharir DCG93]. As these bounds have not been improved for over 25 years, in this paper we approach the Hausdorff distance under translation from the perspective of fine-grained complexity theory. We show (i) a matching lower bound of $(nm)^{1-o(1)}$ for $L_1$ and $L_infty$ (and all other $L_p$ norms) assuming the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis and (ii) a matching lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$ for $L_2$ in the imbalanced case of $m = O(1)$ assuming the 3SUM Hypothesis.

Given two shapes $A$ and $B$ in the plane with Hausdorff distance $1$, is there a shape $S$ with Hausdorff distance $1/2$ to and from $A$ and $B$? The answer is always yes, and depending on convexity of $A$ and/or $B$, $S$ may be convex, connected, o
r disconnected. We show that our result can be generalised to give an interpolated shape between $A$ and $B$ for any interpolation variable $alpha$ between $0$ and $1$, and prove that the resulting morph has a bounded rate of change with respect to $alpha$. Finally, we explore a generalization of the concept of a Hausdorff middle to more than two input sets. We show how to approximate or compute this middle shape, and that the properties relating to the connectedness of the Hausdorff middle extend from the case with two input sets. We also give bounds on the Hausdorff distance between the middle set and the input.
We study the $c$-approximate near neighbor problem under the continuous Frechet distance: Given a set of $n$ polygonal curves with $m$ vertices, a radius $delta > 0$, and a parameter $k leq m$, we want to preprocess the curves into a data structure t
hat, given a query curve $q$ with $k$ vertices, either returns an input curve with Frechet distance at most $ccdot delta$ to $q$, or returns that there exists no input curve with Frechet distance at most $delta$ to $q$. We focus on the case where the input and the queries are one-dimensional polygonal curves -- also called time series -- and we give a comprehensive analysis for this case. We obtain new upper bounds that provide different tradeoffs between approximation factor, preprocessing time, and query time. Our data structures improve upon the state of the art in several ways. We show that for any $0 < varepsilon leq 1$ an approximation factor of $(1+varepsilon)$ can be achieved within the same asymptotic time bounds as the previously best result for $(2+varepsilon)$. Moreover, we show that an approximation factor of $(2+varepsilon)$ can be obtained by using preprocessing time and space $O(nm)$, which is linear in the input size, and query time in $O(frac{1}{varepsilon})^{k+2}$, where the previously best result used preprocessing time in $n cdot O(frac{m}{varepsilon k})^k$ and query time in $O(1)^k$. We complement our upper bounds with matching conditional lower bounds based on the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis. Interestingly, some of our lower bounds already hold for any super-constant value of $k$. This is achieved by proving hardness of a one-sided sparse version of the Orthogonal Vectors problem as an intermediate problem, which we believe to be of independent interest.
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension provides a notion of complexity for systems of sets. If the VC dimension is small, then knowing this can drastically simplify fundamental computational tasks such as classification, range counting, and density estima
tion through the use of sampling bounds. We analyze set systems where the ground set $X$ is a set of polygonal curves in $mathbb{R}^d$ and the sets $mathcal{R}$ are metric balls defined by curve similarity metrics, such as the Frechet distance and the Hausdorff distance, as well as their discrete counterparts. We derive upper and lower bounds on the VC dimension that imply useful sampling bounds in the setting that the number of curves is large, but the complexity of the individual curves is small. Our upper bounds are either near-quadratic or near-linear in the complexity of the curves that define the ranges and they are logarithmic in the complexity of the curves that define the ground set.
One of the central notions to emerge from the study of persistent homology is that of interleaving distance. It has found recent applications in symplectic and contact geometry, sheaf theory, computational geometry, and phylogenetics. Here we present
a general study of this topic. We define interleaving of functors with common codomain as solutions to an extension problem. In order to define interleaving distance in this setting we are led to categorical generalizations of Hausdorff distance, Gromov-Hausdorff distance, and the space of metric spaces. We obtain comparisons with previous notions of interleaving via the study of future equivalences. As an application we recover a definition of shift equivalences of discrete dynamical systems.
This paper initiates the study of I/O algorithms (minimizing cache misses) from the perspective of fine-grained complexity (conditional polynomial lower bounds). Specifically, we aim to answer why sparse graph problems are so hard, and why the Longes
t Common Subsequence problem gets a savings of a factor of the size of cache times the length of a cache line, but no more. We take the reductions and techniques from complexity and fine-grained complexity and apply them to the I/O model to generate new (conditional) lower bounds as well as faster algorithms. We also prove the existence of a time hierarchy for the I/O model, which motivates the fine-grained reductions. Using fine-grained reductions, we give an algorithm for distinguishing 2 vs. 3 diameter and radius that runs in $O(|E|^2/(MB))$ cache misses, which for sparse graphs improves over the previous $O(|V|^2/B)$ running time. We give new reductions from radius and diameter to Wiener index and median. We show meaningful reductions between problems that have linear-time solutions in the RAM model. The reductions use low I/O complexity (typically $O(n/B)$), and thus help to finely capture the relationship between I/O linear time $Theta(n/B)$ and RAM linear time $Theta(n)$. We generate new I/O assumptions based on the difficulty of improving sparse graph problem running times in the I/O model. We create conjectures that the current best known algorithms for Single Source Shortest Paths (SSSP), diameter, and radius are optimal. From these I/O-model assumptions, we show that many of the known reductions in the word-RAM model can naturally extend to hold in the I/O model as well (e.g., a lower bound on the I/O complexity of Longest Common Subsequence that matches the best known running time). Finally, we prove an analog of the Time Hierarchy Theorem in the I/O model.
