The search space of Bayesian Network structures is usually defined as Acyclic Directed Graphs (DAGs) and the search is done by local transformations of DAGs. But the space of Bayesian Networks is ordered by DAG Markov model inclusion and it…
The combinatorial problem of learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from data was recently framed as a purely continuous optimization problem by leveraging a differentiable acyclicity characterization of DAGs based on the trace of a matrix…

There are two particular $\Theta_6$-graphs - the 6-cycle graphs with a diagonal. We find the planar Tur\'an number of each of them, i.e. the maximum number of edges in a planar graph $G$ of $n$ vertices not containing the given $\Theta_6$…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, the longest induced path problem asks for a maximum cardinality node subset $W\subseteq V$ such that the graph induced by $W$ is a path. It is a long established problem with applications, e.g., in network analysis.…
We present a parallel variant of Pruned Landmark Labelling (PLL) that is optimised for the preprocessing of hub labels on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). This method was developed during a seminar at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology…
We make progress toward a characterization of the graphs $H$ such that every connected $H$-free graph has a longest path transversal of size $1$. In particular, we show that the graphs $H$ on at most $4$ vertices satisfying this property…
This work aims to learn the directed acyclic graph (DAG) that captures the instantaneous dependencies underlying a multivariate time series. The observed data follow a linear structural vector autoregressive model (SVARM) with both…
Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) encode a lot of information about a particular distribution in their structure. However, compute required to infer these structures is typically super-exponential in the number of variables, as inference…
Graphical Markov models determined by acyclic digraphs (ADGs), also called directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), are widely studied in statistics, computer science (as Bayesian networks), operations research (as influence diagrams), and many…
(see paper for full abstract) We show that the Edge-Disjoint Paths problem is W[1]-hard parameterized by the number $k$ of terminal pairs, even when the input graph is a planar directed acyclic graph (DAG). This answers a question of…
Enumerating the directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of a Markov equivalence class (MEC) is an important primitive in causal analysis. The central resource from the perspective of computational complexity is the delay, that is, the time an…
We consider the size of the smallest set of vertices required to intersect every longest path in a chordal graph. Such sets are known as longest path transversals. We show that if $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of a chordal graph $G$,…
We present a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm running in $O(f(\epsilon)\cdot n \log^4 n)$ time for finding the diameter of an undirected planar graph with non-negative edge lengths.
We show that connected graphs admit sublinear longest path transversals. This improves an earlier result of Rautenbach and Sereni and is related to the fifty-year-old question of whether connected graphs admit longest path transversals of…
We obtain the first near-linear time deterministic algorithm for negative-weight single-source shortest paths on integer-weighted graphs. Our main ingredient is a deterministic construction of a padded decomposition on directed graphs,…
We define Gaussian graphical models on directed acyclic graphs with coloured vertices and edges, calling them RDAG (restricted directed acyclic graph) models. If two vertices or edges have the same colour, their parameters in the model must…
In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…
A graph is outerplanar if it can be embedded in a plane such that all vertices lie on its outer face. The outerplanar Tur\'{a}n number of a given graph $H$, denoted by ${\rm ex}_{\mathcal{OP}}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges over all…
Directed acyclic graphical models (DAGs) are often used to describe common structural properties in a family of probability distributions. This paper addresses the question of classifying DAGs up to an isomorphism. By considering Gaussian…
