For any fixed positive integer $r$ and a given budget $k$, the $r$-\textsc{Eigenvalue Vertex Deletion} ($r$-EVD) problem asks if a graph $G$ admits a subset $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that the adjacency matrix of $G\setminus S$ has at…

An edge-operation on a graph $G$ is defined to be either the deletion of an existing edge or the addition of a nonexisting edge. Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the editing distance from $G$ to $\mathcal{G}$ is the smallest number…

A graph has \emph{diameter} D if every pair of vertices are connected by a path of at most D edges. The Diameter-D Augmentation problem asks how to add the a number of edges to a graph in order to make the resulting graph have diameter D.…

For an integer $d\geq 1$, the $d$-Cut problem is that of deciding whether a graph has an edge cut in which each vertex is adjacent to at most $d$ vertices on the opposite side of the cut. The $1$-Cut problem is the well-known Matching Cut…
