By removing irrelevant and redundant features, feature selection aims to find a good representation of the original features. With the prevalence of unlabeled data, unsupervised feature selection has been proven effective in alleviating the…
For a fixed graph $H$, the $H$-SUBGRAPH HITTING problem consists in deleting the minimum number of vertices from an input graph to obtain a graph without any occurrence of $H$ as a subgraph. This problem can be seen as a generalization of…
We propose a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. Instead of a classical adversary that runs the algorithm with one input and then modifies the input, we use a quantum adversary that runs the algorithm with a…
A commonly used paradigm for representing graphs is to use a vector that contains normalized frequencies of occurrence of certain motifs or sub-graphs. This vector representation can be used in a variety of applications, such as, for…
In this work we study a classic generalization of the Vertex Cover (VC) problem, called the Component Order Connectivity (COC) problem. In COC, given an undirected graph $G$, integers $d \geq 1$ and $k$, the goal is to determine if there is…
The storage capacity of a graph measures the maximum amount of information that can be stored across its vertices, such that the information at any vertex can be recovered from the information stored at its neighborhood. The study of this…
A graph is c-closed if every pair of vertices with at least c common neighbors is adjacent. The c-closure of a graph G is the smallest number such that G is c-closed. Fox et al. [ICALP '18] defined c-closure and investigated it in the…

We show that Odd Cycle Transversal and Vertex Multiway Cut admit deterministic polynomial kernels when restricted to planar graphs and parameterized by the solution size. This answers a question of Saurabh. On the way to these results, we…
We prove that for every positive integer $r$ and for every graph class $\mathcal G$ of bounded expansion, the $r$-Dominating Set problem admits a linear kernel on graphs from $\mathcal G$. Moreover, when $\mathcal G$ is only assumed to be…
An important result in the study of polynomial-time preprocessing shows that there is an algorithm which given an instance (G,k) of Vertex Cover outputs an equivalent instance (G',k') in polynomial time with the guarantee that G' has at…

We extend the notion of lossy kernelization, introduced by Lokshtanov et al. [STOC 2017], to approximate Turing kernelization. An $\alpha$-approximate Turing kernel for a parameterized optimization problem is a polynomial-time algorithm…
In parameterized complexity, it is well-known that a parameterized problem is fixed-parameter tractable if and only if it has a kernel - an instance equivalent to the input instance, whose size is just a function of the parameter. The size…
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on {0,1}^N in the black-box model. We show that, in the black-box model, the exponential quantum speed-up obtained for partial functions…
The Cluster Editing problem seeks a transformation of a given undirected graph into a disjoint union of cliques via a minimum number of edge additions or deletions. A multi-parameterized version of the problem is studied, featuring a number…

Graph transformation theory relies upon the composition of rules to express the effects of sequences of rules. In practice, graphs are often subject to constraints, ruling out many candidates for composed rules. Focusing on the case of…
We investigate fine-grained algorithmic aspects of identification problems in graphs and set systems, with a focus on Locating-Dominating Set and Test Cover. We prove the (tight) conditional lower bounds for these problems when…
