We consider the problem of online min-cost perfect matching with concave delays. We begin with the single location variant. Specifically, requests arrive in an online fashion at a single location. The algorithm must then choose between…

In this paper, we investigate Hamiltonian path problem in the context of split graphs, and produce a dichotomy result on the complexity of the problem. Our main result is a deep investigation of the structure of $K_{1,4}$-free split graphs…

The field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) studies homomorphism problems between relational structures where the target structure is fixed. Classifying the complexity of these problems has been a central quest of the field,…

We study the complexity of graph modification problems with respect to homomorphism-based colouring properties of edge-coloured graphs. A homomorphism from edge-coloured graph $G$ to edge-coloured graph $H$ is a vertex-mapping from $G$ to…

The minimum linear ordering problem (MLOP) generalizes well-known combinatorial optimization problems such as minimum linear arrangement and minimum sum set cover. MLOP seeks to minimize an aggregated cost $f(\cdot)$ due to an ordering…

The intensively studied Diameter problem is to find the diameter of a given connected graph. We investigate, for the first time in a structured manner, the complexity of Diameter for H-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain a…

A tropical graph $(H,c)$ consists of a graph $H$ and a (not necessarily proper) vertex-colouring $c$ of $H$. Given two tropical graphs $(G,c_1)$ and $(H,c)$, a homomorphism of $(G,c_1)$ to $(H,c)$ is a standard graph homomorphism of $G$ to…

We consider the algorithmic decision problem that takes as input an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with minimum codegree at least $m-c$ and decides whether it has a matching of size $m$. We show that this decision problem is fixed…

We present a dichotomy theorem on the parameterized complexity of the 3-uniform hypergraphicality problem. Given $0<c_1\le c_2 < 1$, the parameterized 3-uniform Hypergraphic Degree Sequence problem, $3uni-HDS_{c_1,c_2}$, considers degree…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $D \subseteq V$ is called a semitotal dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set of $G$, and every vertex in $D$ is within distance~$2$ of another vertex of~$D$. The \textsc{Minimum Semitotal Domination}…
