In this paper, we study the problem of fast dynamic pointer following: given a directed graph $G$ where each vertex has outdegree $1$, efficiently support the operations of i) changing the outgoing edge of any vertex, and ii) find the…
Given a set of colored points in the plane, we ask if there exists a crossing-free straight-line drawing of a spanning forest, such that every tree in the forest contains exactly the points of one color class. We show that the problem is…
Given a graph $G$ with a total order defined on its vertices, the Maximum Pagenumber-$k$ Subgraph Problem asks for a maximum subgraph $G'$ of $G$ such that $G'$ can be embedded into a $k$-book when the vertices are placed on the spine…
Given $2k-1$ convex sets in $R^2$ such that no point of the plane is covered by more than $k$ of the sets, is it true that there are two among the convex sets whose union contains all $k$-covered points of the plane? This question due to…
A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi shows that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We generalised this result to loose spanning…
Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…
The $k$-vertex disjoint paths problem is one of the most studied problems in algorithmic graph theory. In 1994, Schrijver proved that the problem can be solved in polynomial time for every fixed $k$ when restricted to the class of planar…
The problem of deciding whether a biconnected planar digraph $G=(V,E)$ can be augmented to become an $st$-planar graph by adding a set of oriented edges $E' \subseteq V \times V$ is known to be NP-complete. We show that the problem is…
Point-set embeddings and large-angle crossings are two areas of graph drawing that independently have received a lot of attention in the past few years. In this paper, we consider problems in the intersection of these two areas. Given the…
We study the spectral Tur\'an problem for trees. To avoid limiting our perspective to specific families of trees, we parametrize trees in terms of their unique bipartition. We say $T \in \mathcal{T}_{m,l+1}^{\delta}$ if $T$ is a tree of…
A vertex-subset graph problem $Q$ defines which subsets of the vertices of an input graph are feasible solutions. The reconfiguration version of a vertex-subset problem $Q$ asks whether it is possible to transform one feasible solution for…
In the area of beyond-planar graphs, i.e. graphs that can be drawn with some local restrictions on the edge crossings, the recognition problem is prominent next to the density question for the different graph classes. For 1-planar graphs,…
In this paper we study a maximization version of the classical Edge Dominating Set (EDS) problem, namely, the Upper EDS problem, in the realm of Parameterized Complexity. In this problem, given an undirected graph $G$, a positive integer…
This work presents an innovative method for point set self-embedding, that encodes the structural information of a dense point set into its sparser version in a visual but imperceptible form. The self-embedded point set can function as the…
Deciding whether a graph can be embedded in a grid using only unit-length edges is NP-complete, even when restricted to binary trees. However, it is not difficult to devise a number of graph classes for which the problem is polynomial, even…
A variant of the Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture, posed by Havet, Reed, Stein and Wood, states that every graph with minimum degree at least $\lfloor 2k/3 \rfloor$ and maximum degree at least $k$ contains a copy of every tree with $k$ edges.…
We introduce and study the 1-planar packing problem: Given $k$ graphs with $n$ vertices $G_1, \dots, G_k$, find a 1-planar graph that contains the given graphs as edge-disjoint spanning subgraphs. We mainly focus on the case when each $G_i$…
Given a simple connected undirected graph G = (V, E), a set X \subseteq V(G), and integers k and p, STEINER SUBGRAPH EXTENSION problem asks if there exists a set S \supseteq X with at most k vertices such that G[S] is p-edge-connected. This…
We show that P2T - the problem of deciding whether the edge set of a simple graph can be partitioned into two trees or not - is NP-complete.
A very popular class of models for networks posits that each node is represented by a point in a continuous latent space, and that the probability of an edge between nodes is a decreasing function of the distance between them in this latent…
