The papers in this volume were presented at the 56th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC 2024), sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT). The conference was held in Vancouver, Canada, June 24--28, 2024, with the papers being presented as live talks.
Optimization with Pattern-Avoiding Input
Permutation pattern-avoidance is a central concept of both enumerative and extremal combinatorics. In this paper we study the effect of permutation pattern-avoidance on the complexity of optimization problems. In the context of the dynamic optimality ...
Maximum Weight Independent Set in Graphs with no Long Claws in Quasi-Polynomial Time
We show that the Maximum Weight Independent Set problem (MWIS) can be solved in quasi-polynomial time on H-free graphs (graphs excluding a fixed graph H as an induced subgraph) for every H whose every connected component is a path or a subdivided claw (...
Packing Even Directed Circuits Quarter-Integrally
We prove the existence of a computable function f∶ℕ→ℕ such that for every integer k and every digraph D, either D contains a collection C of k directed cycles of even length such that no vertex of D belongs to more than four cycles in C, or there exists ...
Edge-Disjoint Paths in Eulerian Digraphs
Disjoint paths problems are among the most prominent problems in combinatorial optimisation. The edge- as well as the Vertex-Disjoint Paths problem are NP-complete, both on directed and undirected graphs. But on undirected graphs, Robertson and Seymour ...
A Flat Wall Theorem for Matching Minors in Bipartite Graphs
In 1913, Pólya asked for which (0,1)-matrices A it is possible to create a new matrix A′ by changing some of the signs such that the permanent of A equals the determinant of A′. A combinatorial solution to this problem was found by Little in 1975; he ...
