For an edge-bicolored graph $G$ where each edge is colored either red or blue, a vertex set $S$ is a dual feedback vertex set if $S$ hits all blue cycles and red cycles of $G$. In this paper, we show that a dual feedback vertex set of size…
Let G=(A,B,E) be a bipartite graph with color classes A and B. The graph G is chordal bipartite if G has no induced cycle of length more than four. Let G=(V,E) be a graph. A feedback vertex set F is a set of vertices F subset V such that…
A mixed graph $G$ is a graph that consists of both undirected and directed edges. An orientation of $G$ is formed by orienting all the undirected edges of $G$, i.e., converting each undirected edge $\{u,v\}$ into a directed edge that is…
A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and iterated line digraphs. These structures…
Given a graph on $n$ vertices and an integer $k$, the feedback vertex set problem asks for the deletion of at most $k$ vertices to make the graph acyclic. We show that a greedy branching algorithm, which always branches on an undecided…
Mixed graphs have both directed and undirected edges. A mixed cage is a regular mixed graph of given girth with minimum possible order. In this paper mixed cages are studied. Upper bounds are obtained by general construction methods and…
In the Feedback Vertex Set problem, one is given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and one needs to determine whether there exists a set of $k$ vertices that intersects all cycles of $G$ (a so-called feedback vertex set). Feedback…
The (\textsc{Weighted}) \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} problem is a generalization of the classical \textsc{Feedback Vertex Set} problem and asks for a vertex set of minimum (weighted) size that intersects all cycles containing a…
An undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of undirected edges between vertices. Such a graph may contain an abundant number of cycles, then a feedback vertex set (FVS) is a set of vertices intersecting with each of these…
Feedback Vertex Set is a classic combinatorial optimization problem that asks for a minimum set of vertices in a given graph whose deletion makes the graph acyclic. From the point of view of parameterized algorithms and fixed-parameter…
The feedback set problems are about removing the minimum number of vertices or edges from a graph to break all its cycles. Much effort has gone into understanding their complexity on planar graphs as well as on graphs of bounded degree. We…
In the Feedback Vertex Set problem, we aim to find a small set $S$ of vertices in a graph intersecting every cycle. The Subset Feedback Vertex Set problem requires $S$ to intersect only those cycles that include a vertex of some specified…
We consider the problem of learning the weighted edges of a balanced mixture of two undirected graphs from epidemic cascades. While mixture models are popular modeling tools, algorithmic development with rigorous guarantees has lagged.…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of parameterized algorithms running in subexponential time for two fundamental cycle-hitting problems: Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) and Triangle Hitting (TH). We focus on the class of pseudo-disk…
A \emph{mixed graph} is a graph with directed edges, called arcs, and undirected edges. A $k$-coloring of the vertices is proper if colors from ${1,2,...,k}$ are assigned to each vertex such that $u$ and $v$ have different colors if $uv$ is…
The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…
We consider a natural combinatorial optimization problem on chordal graphs, the class of graphs with no induced cycle of length four or more. A subset of vertices of a chordal graph is (monophonically) convex if it contains the vertices of…
A typical example that behaves computationally different in subclasses of chordal graphs is the \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} (SFVS) problem: given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V$, the \textsc{Subset…
A mixed graph is, informally, an object obtained from a simple undirected graph by choosing an orientation for a subset of its edges. A mixed graph is $(m, n)$-coloured if each edge is assigned one of $m \geq 0$ colours, and each arc is…
In the \textsc{Geodetic Set} problem, the input consists of a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$. The goal is to determine whether there exists a subset $S$ of vertices of size $k$ such that every vertex in the graph is included in a…
