In distance query reconstruction, we wish to reconstruct the edge set of a hidden graph by asking as few distance queries as possible to an oracle. Given two vertices $u$ and $v$, the oracle returns the shortest path distance between $u$…
Self-dual maximum distance separable codes (self-dual MDS codes) and self-dual near MDS codes are very important in coding theory and practice. Thus, it is interesting to construct self-dual MDS or self-dual near MDS codes. In this paper,…
It is known that any planar graph with diameter D has treewidth O(D), and this fact has been used as the basis for several planar graph algorithms. We investigate the extent to which similar relations hold in other graph families. We show…
In this paper, we give a very simple proof that Treewidth is NP-complete; this proof also shows NP-completeness on the class of co-bipartite graphs. We then improve the result by Bodlaender and Thilikos from 1997 that Treewidth is…
We here investigate on the complexity of computing the \emph{tree-length} and the \emph{tree-breadth} of any graph $G$, that are respectively the best possible upper-bounds on the diameter and the radius of the bags in a tree decomposition…
Graphs with bounded treewidth and bounded maximum degree are known to have tree-partitions of bounded width. What can be said if the bounded treewidth assumption is strengthened to bounded pathwidth? We prove that every graph with bounded…
Parameterised subgraph counting problems are the most thoroughly studied topic in the theory of parameterised counting, and there has been significant recent progress in this area. Many of the existing tractability results for parameterised…
Modularity is a very widely used measure of the level of clustering or community structure in networks. Here we consider a recent generalisation of the definition of modularity to temporal graphs, whose edge-sets change over discrete…
Finding the largest code with a given minimum distance is one of the most basic problems in coding theory. In this paper, we study the linear programming bound for codes in the Lee metric. We introduce refinements on the linear programming…
We introduce the tree-decomposition-based parameter totally $\Delta$-modular treewidth (TDM-treewidth) for matrices with two nonzero entries per row. We show how to solve integer programs whose matrices have bounded TDM-treewidth in…
The problem of realizing finite metric spaces in terms of weighted graphs has many applications. For example, the mathematical and computational properties of metrics that can be realized by trees have been well-studied and such research…
We introduce the graph theoretical parameter of edge treewidth. This parameter occurs in a natural way as the tree-like analogue of cutwidth or, alternatively, as an edge-analogue of treewidth. We study the combinatorial properties of…
The Graph Isomorphism problem restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth or bounded tree distance width are known to be solvable in polynomial time [Bod90],[YBFT99]. We give restricted space algorithms for these problems proving the…
This paper contributes to maximum distance separable (MDS) and near MDS (NMDS) properties of the extended generalized twisted Reed-Solomon (TGRS) codes. Firstly, a family of extended TGRS (ETGRS) are constructed by appending three columns…
We give a constructive proof of the fact that the treewidth of a graph $G$ is bounded by a linear function of the separation number of $G$.
We give an analog of the Myhill-Nerode methods from formal language theory for hypergraphs and use it to derive the following results for two NP-hard hypergraph problems: * We provide an algorithm for testing whether a hypergraph has…
The treewidth boundedness problem for a logic asks for the existence of an upper bound on the treewidth of the models of a given formula in that logic. This problem is found to be undecidable for first order logic. We consider a…
Parameterized algorithms have been subject to extensive research of recent years and allow to solve hard problems by exploiting a parameter of the corresponding problem instances. There, one goal is to devise algorithms, where the runtime…
Recently a strong connection has been shown between the tractability of integer programming (IP) with bounded coefficients on the one side and the structure of its constraint matrix on the other side. To that end, integer linear programming…
We give an alternative proof of the formula for the minimum distance of a projective Reed-Muller code of an arbitrary order. It leads to a complete characterization of the minimum weight codewords of a projective Reed-Muller code. This is…
