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.
Single-Source Shortest Paths with Negative Real Weights in Õ(𝑚𝑛8/9) Time
This paper presents a randomized algorithm for single-source shortest paths on directed graphs with real (both positive and negative) edge weights. Given an input graph with n vertices and m edges, the algorithm completes in Õ(mn8/9) time with high ...
Near Optimal Alphabet-Soundness Tradeoff PCPs
We show that for all є>0, for sufficiently large prime power q, for all δ>0, it is NP-hard to distinguish whether a 2-Prover-1-Round projection game with alphabet size q has value at least 1-δ, or value at most 1/q^(1-є). This establishes a nearly ...
Parameterized Inapproximability Hypothesis under Exponential Time Hypothesis
The Parameterized Inapproximability Hypothesis (PIH) asserts that no fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm can distinguish a satisfiable CSP instance, parameterized by the number of variables, from one where every assignment fails to satisfy an ε ...
