Many problems are known to be solvable in subexponential parameterized time when the input graph is planar. The bidimensionality framework of Demaine, Fomin, Hajiaghay, and Thilikos [JACM'05] and the treewidth-pattern-covering approach by…
Given a MAX-2-SAT instance, we define a local maximum to be an assignment such that changing any single variable reduces the number of satisfied clauses. We consider the question of the number of local maxima that an instance of MAX-2-SAT…

Integer Linear Programming with $n$ binary variables and $m$ many $0/1$-constraints can be solved in time $2^{\tilde O(m^2)} \text{poly}(n)$ and it is open whether the dependence on $m$ is optimal. Several seemingly unrelated problems,…
We study how good a lexicographically maximal solution is in the weighted matching and matroid intersection problems. A solution is lexicographically maximal if it takes as many heaviest elements as possible, and subject to this, it takes…

Linear arrangements of graphs are a well-known type of graph labeling and are found in many important computational problems, such as the Minimum Linear Arrangement Problem ($\texttt{minLA}$). A linear arrangement is usually defined as a…
The Minimum Fill-in problem is to decide if a graph can be triangulated by adding at most k edges. Kaplan, Shamir, and Tarjan [FOCS 1994] have shown that the problem is solvable in time O(2^(O(k)) + k2 * nm) on graphs with n vertices and m…
