From d9b25fb456a4ab8c7f99fed0c2a02284716b99c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiwei Pan Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:40:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/17] Add symbolic growth domain (src/growth.rs) (#1075) Implement the growth domain: a dedicated asymptotic normal form that computes Big-O bottom-up in a single pass over `Expr`, without the exponential monomial expansion in `canonical.rs` that was the root cause of issue #1069. - `GrowthTerm`: one growth monomial over `exp` / `poly` / `logs` maps. - `Growth`: an antichain of pairwise-incomparable dominant terms, or the absorbing `Unknown` sentinel; both are deterministically sorted for platform-stable equality and serialization. - `from_expr`: transfer functions for Var/Const/Add/Mul/Pow/Exp/Log/Sqrt with upward widening (subtraction -> addition, constants dropped, linear exponents -> base-2 `exp` rates, nonlinear exponents / factorial / negative exponents -> `Unknown`). - `dominates`: purely symbolic partial order (per variable, lexicographic on exp rate / poly degree / log power) that replaces the foolable numerical sampling heuristic. - Antichain cap 32 with upward widening to the componentwise-max term. - Serde support (`Serialize` derived; `Deserialize` hand-written to leak string keys to `&'static str`, matching `Expr`'s parser convention). This module changes no existing behavior; `big_o.rs` / search rewiring is scoped to later issues in the milestone, so the module is `#[allow(dead_code)]` for now. Also commits the shared batch design doc referenced by the milestone. Includes the six named verification cases plus the negative control from the issue, and extra coverage. `cargo test growth` and `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` pass.

The acute +symptom is already mitigated on `main` by a stopgap: `MAX_CANONICAL_TERMS = 50_000` +in `canonical.rs` aborts oversized expansions, and the CLI falls back to printing the +*unreduced* composed expression as `O()` on failure +(`problemreductions-cli/src/commands/graph.rs:349`). This design replaces +refuse-or-bluff with a system that answers. + +## Need + +The symbolic overhead system conflates exact expressions with asymptotic queries: +`big_o_normal_form` (src/big_o.rs) fully expands composed path overheads to monomial +normal form (src/canonical.rs) before projecting to Big-O. Expansion of nested +`(sum)^2 * (sum)^2` structures is exponential in nesting depth — the root cause of +issue #1069. The stopgap cap prevents the OOM but leaves three structural defects: + +1. **Refuse-or-bluff answers.** Paths whose composed overhead exceeds the expansion + cap get no normalized Big-O; the CLI falls back to printing the raw unreduced + expression disguised as `O(...)`. The exponential-expansion algorithm is still + there, merely fenced. +2. **Heuristic dominance.** Asymptotic comparison relies on a foolable two-point + numerical sampling heuristic (`numerical_dominance_check`) — e.g. `n^100` vs + `1.001^n` is decided wrongly because the crossover lies beyond the sampled range. +3. **Unsound search.** The scalar Dijkstra in `ReductionGraph::find_cheapest_path` + has a latent correctness hole: edge costs depend on the size accumulated along the + path, which violates Dijkstra's assumptions — a cheaper-so-far path with a larger + intermediate size can be wrongly preferred. And there is no instance-free + (asymptotic) search mode at all. + +We need a **trustworthy** (explicit semantic axioms, bounded termination, per-rule +verifiability) and **extensible** (new functions/variables without touching the core) +symbolic system: an exact `Expr` layer separated from an asymptotic growth domain, +with both Big-O rendering and path search running in the asymptotic domain at +polynomial cost.

Signature unchanged; the 360-line canonical projection is gone. - `growth.rs`: add `Growth::to_expr()` rendering the antichain back to a display `Expr`, de-normalizing exp rates to readable bases (`{n:1} -> 2^n`, `{n: log2 3} -> 3^n`, `{n: log2 e} -> exp(n)`, with float-snapping so `1.5^x` renders cleanly). - Delete `canonical.rs` (incl. the `MAX_CANONICAL_TERMS` stopgap) and its tests, the `asymptotic_normal_form` wrapper, the now-dead `CanonicalizationError`, and their `lib.rs` re-exports. - `pred-sym`: drop the `canon` subcommand; `compare` narrows to Big-O equivalence via the growth domain. - `analysis.rs`: `prepare_expr_for_comparison` stops canonicalizing (returns the expr clone); the full analysis-to-growth rewire is a separate issue. Behavioral changes from the stronger semantics, reflected in updated tests: the #1069-shaped `((a+b+c+d)^4)^4` now returns a real degree-16 bound instantly instead of erroring; `-1 * n` widens to `n` (constant factor dropped) instead of being rejected; `2^sqrt(n)` (nonlinear exponent) is now unsupported; exp/sqrt structural identities in the overhead comparator report Unknown until the analysis rewire lands. Verification (all from the issue): `cargo test` green; `grep canonical_form` returns nothing; `pred-sym big-o` prints `O(n^2)` / an exp*poly bound / a degree-4 bound instantly; `factorial(n)` and `canon` fail loudly.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements M3 (F3b) of the Symbolic Growth Domain & Pareto Search milestone. The scalar Dijkstra in `ReductionGraph` had a path-dependent-cost hole: when two paths reached the same node, only the cheaper-so-far label's size was kept, so a cheaper-but-larger intermediate state could poison downstream choices (issue #788). This replaces it with a generic multi-label Pareto search plus a measured concrete-instance label domain. - New `PathLabel` trait (`extend` + `dominates` + `cost`) and a generic `pareto_search` kernel over per-node antichain bags with predecessor pointers, branch-and-bound, deterministic safety caps (hop cap 16, bag cap 32 with a deterministic tie-break), and a deterministically ordered Pareto front. - `CostLabel`: scalar formula label reproducing Dijkstra behavior for the existing `PathCostFn` cost functions; `find_cheapest_path*` keep their signatures and now run the kernel with it. - `MeasuredLabel` (`src/rules/pareto.rs`): the concrete-instance label. Its `extend` runs a four-part pruning stack in order — (1) symbolic pre-flight guard (evaluated in f64 so a `2^num_vertices` prediction is refused without executing, making OOM structurally impossible), (2) execute + measure the real target size, (3) branch-and-bound, (4) componentwise measured-size dominance (disabled by the `exhaustive` flag; guards 1-3 stay sound). A caught panic from a reduction whose preconditions the instance violates prunes that edge. - `MeasuredPath` carries the constructed reduction chain (via `Rc`) so downstream solve/witness extraction reuses it without re-executing. - `ILPSolver::best_path_to_ilp` now uses `find_measured_best_path_to_name`, ranking ILP variants by real measured size instead of step count / formula. Verification (all green): #788 known-answer test (HC on the prism graph selects the measured optimum), OOM pre-flight guard test (64-vertex HighlyConnectedDeletion refused in <1ms, exponential construction never started), and a hand-built diamond negative control where scalar cost selection commits to P1 while the Pareto search returns the strictly-better-final-size P2. Closes #788.

The core motivation (issue #788, design doc +//! `docs/design/symbolic-growth-domain.md`, section M3/F3b) is that edge costs are +//! **path-dependent**: the cost of a reduction depends on the size of the problem +//! accumulated along the path so far.

Closes the 2-year-old research issue #15 (multi-variable shortest path over polynomials). - `GrowthLabel` (src/rules/pareto.rs): each current-node size field mapped to a `Growth` in the source problem's size variables. `extend` composes an edge's overhead by substituting each current field's rendered growth (`Growth::to_expr`) into the overhead `Expr` and reducing via `Growth::from_expr` (reuses M1+M2, no new growth primitive). Fields depending on an `Unknown` growth stay `Unknown` — never a fabricated bound. `dominates` is componentwise search-sense (smaller growth better), with `Unknown` as top so any label with an `Unknown` field is dominated by a fully known one (undecidable paths rank last). `cost()` is a monotone magnitude scalar with a position tiebreak so the kernel's scalar branch-and-bound keeps incomparable, equal-magnitude front members. Plugs into the existing `pareto_search` kernel. - `Growth::magnitude` (src/growth.rs): deterministic monotone scalar for search ordering only (dominance stays exact). `Growth` re-exported for CLI/MCP. - `ReductionGraph::asymptotic_front`: builds the initial label from the source's size fields, runs `pareto_search`, orders the front by (hops, lexicographic node names). - CLI: bare `pred path S T` (no `--cost`/`--size`, no `--all`) now prints the asymptotic Pareto front, each path annotated with `O(...)` per target size field (`O(?)` for unbounded). `--cost` opts into the unchanged single-best mode; `--all` unchanged. MCP `find_path` returns the same front with structured `Growth` serde. - Fix `find_paths_up_to_mode_bounded` to apply the mode filter *before* `take(limit)` (was after), so `--all` truncation no longer depends on enumeration order. - Tests: GrowthLabel extend/dominance/Unknown/isotonicity, the incomparable-front negative control (O(n^2)/O(m) vs O(n)/O(m^2), both kept), CLI determinism/golden for `pred path KSatisfiability QUBO`, and an MCP asymptotic-front test.

That is sound for the scalar measured/formula labels, but WRONG for the asymptotic `GrowthLabel`: growth over multiple size fields is a partial order, so a scalar summary can rank one genuinely incomparable Pareto-optimal path above another and prune it — silently under-reporting the front, which is the exact thing this feature must not do. The previous mitigation (an epsilon tie-break in `GrowthLabel::cost`) only rescued the *equal-magnitude* case; asymmetric incomparable fronts (e.g. one path O(n^2)/O(m), another O(n)/O(m^3), magnitudes 3 vs 4) still lost the larger one whenever the smaller completed first. Root-cause fix: add `PathLabel::BRANCH_AND_BOUND` (default true; false for `GrowthLabel`) and gate the kernel's two B&B checks on it. The asymptotic search now relies solely on the exact `dominates` partial-order pruning (plus the hop and bag caps), so incomparable paths always survive. Removed the epsilon crutch from `cost()`. New test `test_growth_asymmetric_incomparable_front_complete` pins the asymmetric case; verified it fails with B&B re-enabled (front drops path B) and passes with the fix.

Fix: `ReductionGraph::asymptotic_front` now collapses the front to one representative per distinct growth vector. `GrowthLabel` derives `PartialEq` over its field → growth map, so the front is sorted by (hops, lexicographic node names) — putting each equal-growth group's deterministic best first — then linearly deduplicated keeping the first (best) of each group. Deduplication is purely by the growth vector, so paths reaching different target variants (e.g. `ILP/bool` vs `ILP/i32`) with the same composed Big-O collapse to a single representative — the endpoint variant is not part of the asymptotic identity. Documented on the method. Completeness is preserved: genuinely incomparable growth vectors are never equal, so they all survive (both `test_growth_asymmetric_incomparable_front_complete` and `test_growth_negative_control_incomparable_front` still pass, using the raw kernel). `pred path MVC ILP` now prints 3 paths (one per distinct Big-O profile). Tests: `test_asymptotic_front_dedups_by_growth_vector` (real graph: no duplicate growth vectors, ≤ 4 entries, and the raw kernel front is strictly larger — proving collapse) and `test_path_front_dedups_by_growth_vector` (CLI: MVC → ILP small handful, no dup vectors).

ILP's size field is named `num_vars`; `num_variables()` is only a getter *alias* for it. The `#[reduction]` macro validates overhead variables against getter *methods*, so the alias compiled, and both instance-mode sizing (`evaluate_output_size` calls the getter) and raw-overhead Big-O rendering resolve it — the mistake was invisible there. But asymptotic growth composition (`GrowthLabel::extend`) threads size-field *names*: the label key at the ILP node is `num_vars`, so the variable `num_variables` was unmapped and leaked through unchanged as `num_vars = O(num_variables)`. The path's arrow display had also masked this by collapsing the hidden `ILP/i32 → ILP/bool` cast step. Fix: `31 * num_variables` → `31 * num_vars` (semantically identical — 31 bits per integer variable — and numerically unchanged, since both getters return `num_vars`). Effects: `MFVS → ILP` now composes `num_vars = O(num_vertices)`. `MVC → ILP` drops from 3 to 2 front paths — the corrected feedback-vertex-set route (`num_constraints = O(num_edges + num_vertices), num_vars = O(num_vertices)`) is now correctly Pareto-dominated by the direct route and pruned. Test: `test_asymptotic_front_uses_only_source_variables_mfvs_ilp` pins `num_vars = O(num_vertices)` and asserts every composed field's growth references only MinimumFeedbackVertexSet's own size variables — a general "source-variables-only" invariant on the front label. Note: this is one instance of a getter-alias-vs-field-name mismatch. A separate, broader class of leaks remains in other reductions (e.g. `ClosestVectorProblem`'s `num_encoding_bits` and `CircuitSAT`'s `tseitin_num_vars`/`tseitin_num_clauses`, which surface in KSat→QUBO); those are genuine field-name inconsistencies between a node's incoming and outgoing reductions, outside the growth-composition logic, and are left for separate scoping.

A reduction for a different source variant downcasts and panics (`Option::unwrap` on a type-mismatch); these are expected and were already caught — but by a plain `catch_unwind` that does not suppress the panic hook, so `pred solve` on a simple instance (e.g. MIS on a sparse graph, with several unmatched i32-variant reductions) printed ~8 scary "thread 'main' panicked" lines to stderr while succeeding. Route the probe through the measured search's existing thread-local panic silencer (`pareto::catch_reduction`, now `pub(crate)`), so these caught, expected panics stay off stderr. No behavior change beyond suppressing the noise. Surfaced by an end-to-end `pred solve` use case; the measured-search `extend` path was already silenced, this was the one remaining unsilenced probe.

Three contracts, each exercised well past 5000 meaningful checks with a hand-rolled deterministic SplitMix64 RNG (no wall-clock/entropy, byte-reproducible across platforms): - Upper-bound soundness: eval(e,s) <= C*eval(render(growth(e)),s) at sizes larger than the 2^6 anchor from which C is calibrated (14500 checks, 0 violations). Numeric artifacts (inf from exp-under-log; negative values outside the nonnegativity axiom) are skipped as indeterminate, not flagged. - Idempotence: growth(render(growth(e))) == growth(e), compared up to rendering float precision (18960 checks). - Dominance soundness: when dominates(b,a), the numeric ratio does not shrink and exceeds 1 at the larger size (36050 single-term dominating pairs). The evaluation window is chosen per pair from the exponent-gap regime so the crossover is numerically reachable, independent of the assertion outcome. Negative control: the same upper-bound harness run against a deliberately broken transfer (Add keeping only its first operand) detects 3343 violations, proving the harness can fail. Findings surfaced and handled precisely (not weakened): to_expr base-snapping makes idempotence hold only up to ~1e-10 float drift; log-nested exponentials overflow eval mid-computation though the true growth is tame; and the domain's nonnegativity precondition must be respected when generating inputs. Runs in <2s.

The two had already drifted on the `Unknown` string; they now agree on `O(?)`. Adds a `to_big_o` unit test. - `size_le` (MeasuredLabel dominance): drop the provably redundant second `.all()` pass — nonnegative sizes with missing-field-as-0 make one pass sufficient. - `GrowthLabel::extend`: hoist the loop-invariant substitution map out of the per-output-field loop; it depends only on the rendered source label.

Outer semantics of find_dominated_rules are unchanged. The rewire loses no prior detection (all 9 previously-dominated rules retained) and gains one newly-decided pair: PartitionIntoPathsOfLength2 -> ILP{bool}, whose composite path carried a num_vertices/3 constant divisor that the old engine rejected as a negative-exponent power (Unknown); the growth domain drops constant divisors, making both fields asymptotically equal to the direct edge. Unknown comparisons dropped from 89 to 0.

Gate the `--all` text rendering so `--json` and file modes no longer build it (both named in #1069). Add three in-process regression tests (no `pred` subprocess) named so `cargo test issue_1069` selects them: 1. Reconstruct #1069's KSat→QUBO exploding path by name from the live graph (via `find_all_paths`, order-independent) and assert every composed size field yields a genuine `big_o_normal_form` (not the deleted raw fallback) that is bounded and actually reduced. 2. Whole-graph render budget over the complete path set of hot pairs (KSat→QUBO, MIS→QUBO): every field renders bounded, well under 5 s — the "can't OOM/hang again" guard. 3. Byte-exact golden for the named path's rendered text, with a negative control that swaps two terms and asserts the comparison fails. Goldening one name-selected path keeps the fixture robust to build/inventory/link ordering. Closes #1069.

Add a full name+variant signature as a secondary sort key so the displayed ordering is reproducible. Note: this determinizes the ordering of the fetched path set; when the total path count exceeds --max-paths (e.g. KSat->QUBO has 108, capped to 20), *which* same-length paths survive truncation still depends on discovery order. Fully fixing that needs fetch-all-then-truncate, which risks enumeration blowup on hub nodes and is left as a separate concern.

For --all queries with fewer paths than the limit (the common case on a sparse graph) that meant ~170 redundant zero-yield traversals per call. Replace with a single DFS pass feeding one bounded max-heap keyed by (node count, order key): it retains exactly the `limit` shortest-then- lexicographically-smallest paths in O(limit) memory. Output is byte- identical to the iterative-deepening version (verified across queries and limits), and this folds in the redundant `limit == 0` guard and the manual into_vec+sort (now into_sorted_vec). Also drop a stale sentence in the MeasuredLabel memory rustdoc.

That default is a footgun: any future PathLabel whose `cost` is non-monotone inherits unsound B&B pruning unless its author remembers to opt out — exactly the mistake that made measured search unsound in the first place. Remove the mechanism instead of gating it. Only CostLabel ever used B&B, where it was a marginal early-termination optimization on a 179-node graph; dominance pruning (always sound for every label domain) plus HOP_CAP/BAG_CAP already bound the search. Drop the `BRANCH_AND_BOUND` const, the `best_final` tracking, and both prune sites. `cost` is now purely a frontier-ordering / tie-break heuristic and need not be monotone. Result-preserving: `find_cheapest_path*` returns the min-cost element, which sound B&B never affected — verified `--cost` output is byte- identical across queries and cost functions. The kernel is now dominance- only, so no label can reintroduce this class of bug.
