Parameterized sensitivity oracles and dynamic algorithms using exterior algebras

J Alman, D Hirsch - arxiv preprint arxiv:2204.10819, 2022 - arxiv.org
We design the first efficient sensitivity oracles and dynamic algorithms for a variety of
parameterized problems. Our main approach is to modify the algebraic coding technique …

Parameterized applications of symbolic differentiation of (totally) multilinear polynomials

C Brand, K Pratt - 48th International Colloquium on Automata …, 2021 - drops.dagstuhl.de
We study the following problem and its applications: given a homogeneous degree-d
polynomial g as an arithmetic circuit C, and ad× d matrix X whose entries are homogeneous …

FPT algorithms over linear delta-matroids with applications

E Eiben, T Koana, M Wahlström - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.13654, 2025 - arxiv.org
Matroids, particularly linear ones, have been a powerful tool in parameterized complexity for
algorithms and kernelization. They have sped up or replaced dynamic programming. Delta …

Discriminantal subset convolution: Refining exterior-algebraic methods for parameterized algorithms

C Brand - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2022 - Elsevier
We give a simplified account of the recent algebraic methods obtained for the longest path
problem of Brand, Dell and Husfeldt (STOC'18) and Brand (ESA'19). To this end, we …

[PDF][PDF] Hypergraph Rank and Expansion

K Pratt - 2023 - reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu
The linear–algebraic notions of matrix rank and expansion in graphs are ubiquitous
throughout computer science, with applications to algebraic complexity theory …

Efficient computation of representative weight functions with applications to parameterized counting (extended version)

D Lokshtanov, S Saurabh, M Zehavi - Proceedings of the 2021 ACM-SIAM …, 2021 - SIAM
In this paper we prove an analogue of the classic Bollobás lemma for approximate counting.
In fact, we match an analogous result of Fomin et al.[JACM 2016] for decision. This …

Deterministic Constrained Multilinear Detection

C Brand, V Korchemna… - # …, 2023 - repositum.tuwien.at
We extend the algebraic techniques of Brand and Pratt (ICALP'21) for deterministic detection
of k-multilinear monomials in a given polynomial with non-negative coefficients to the more …

A note on algebraic techniques for subgraph detection

C Brand - Information Processing Letters, 2022 - Elsevier
The k-path problem asks whether a given graph contains a simple path of length k. Along
with other prominent parameterized problems, it reduces to the problem of detecting …

[PDF][PDF] Paths and walks, forests and planes.

C Brand - 2019 - core.ac.uk
This dissertation is concerned with new results in the area of parameterized algorithms and
complexity. We develop a new technique for hard graph problems that generalizes and …
