Vertex deletion to hereditary graph class is well-studied in parameterized complexity. Vertex deletion to the scattered graph classes has gained attention in recent years. In this paper, we consider (Proper-Interval, Tree)-Vertex Deletion,…
We show that many graphs with bounded treewidth can be described as subgraphs of the strong product of a graph with smaller treewidth and a bounded-size complete graph. To this end, define the "underlying treewidth" of a graph class…
A graph is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length four or more. While finite chordal graphs are precisely those admitting tree-decompositions into cliques, this fails for infinite graphs. We establish two results extending the…
We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…
The goal of this paper is to investigate a family of optimization problems arising from list homomorphisms, and to understand what the best possible algorithms are if we restrict the problem to bounded-treewidth graphs. For a fixed $H$, the…
Unlike minors, the induced subgraph obstructions to bounded treewidth come in a large variety, including, for every $t\geq 1$, the $t$-basic obstructions: the graphs $K_{t+1}$ and $K_{t,t}$, along with the subdivisions of the $t$-by-$t$…
We study efficient preprocessing for the undirected Feedback Vertex Set problem, a fundamental problem in graph theory which asks for a minimum-sized vertex set whose removal yields an acyclic graph. More precisely, we aim to determine for…
The notion of treewidth plays an important role in theoretical and practical studies of graph problems. It has been recognized that, especially in practical environments, when computing the treewidth of a graph it is invaluable to first…
Over recent years there has been much interest in both Tur\'an and Ramsey properties of vertex ordered graphs. In this paper we initiate the study of embedding spanning structures into vertex ordered graphs. In particular, we introduce a…
Graph kernels are kernel methods measuring graph similarity and serve as a standard tool for graph classification. However, the use of kernel methods for node classification, which is a related problem to graph representation learning, is…
Motivated by applications in network epidemiology, we consider the problem of determining whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ edges from a given input graph (of small treewidth) so that the resulting graph avoids a set…
In the Block Graph Deletion problem, we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a positive integer $k$, and the objective is to check whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ vertices from $G$ to make it a block graph, i.e., a graph…
We generalize the structure theorem of Robertson and Seymour for graphs excluding a fixed graph $H$ as a minor to graphs excluding $H$ as a topological subgraph. We prove that for a fixed $H$, every graph excluding $H$ as a topological…
For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is an $H$-graph if it is an intersection graph of connected subgraphs of some subdivision of $H$. $H$-graphs naturally generalize several important graph classes like interval or circular-arc graph. This class…
In the $K_t$-free edge deletion problem, the input is a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to decide whether there is a set of at most $k$ edges of $G$ whose removal results a graph with no clique of size $t$. In this paper we…
Given a graph and two integers $k$ and $\ell$, Partial Vertex Cover asks for a set of at most $k$ vertices whose deletion results in a graph with at most $\ell$ edges. Based on the expansion lemma, we provide a problem kernel with $(\ell +…
The notion of treewidth, introduced by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal Graph Minors series, turned out to have tremendous impact on graph algorithmics. Many hard computational problems on graphs turn out to be efficiently solvable in…
The irrelevant vertex technique provides a powerful tool for the design of parameterized algorithms for a wide variety of problems on graphs. A common characteristic of these problems, permitting the application of this technique on…
In the Trivially Perfect Editing problem one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and seeks to add or delete at most $k$ edges in $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect graph. In a recent work, Dumas, Perez and Todinca…
In 2020, we initiated a systematic study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, which we call $(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded. While $(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded graph classes are…
