We consider the parameterised complexity of several list problems on graphs, with parameter treewidth or pathwidth. In particular, we show that List Edge Chromatic Number and List Total Chromatic Number are fixed parameter tractable,…
It is known that a number of natural graph problems which are FPT parameterized by treewidth become W-hard when parameterized by clique-width. It is therefore desirable to find a different structural graph parameter which is as general as…
Many hard graph problems can be solved efficiently when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth, and more generally to graphs of bounded clique-width. But there is a price to be paid for this generality, exemplified by the four problems…
Many hard graph problems, such as Hamiltonian Cycle, become FPT when parameterized by treewidth, a parameter that is bounded only on sparse graphs. When parameterized by the more general parameter clique-width, Hamiltonian Cycle becomes…
We introduce and study the complexity of Path Packing. Given a graph $G$ and a list of paths, the task is to embed the paths edge-disjoint in $G$. This generalizes the well known Hamiltonian-Path problem. Since Hamiltonian Path is…
We study computational complexity of the class of distance-constrained graph labeling problems from the fixed parameter tractability point of view. The parameters studied are neighborhood diversity and clique width. We rephrase the distance…
We study the classical problem of computing geometric thickness, i.e., finding a straight-line drawing of an input graph and a partition of its edges into as few parts as possible so that each part is crossing-free. Since the problem is…
We consider the problem of finding a 1-planar drawing for a general graph, where a 1-planar drawing is a drawing in which each edge participates in at most one crossing. Since this problem is known to be NP-hard we investigate the…
We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We study the complexity for graph width parameters for which the ordinary problems…
We study the parameterized complexity of the graph isomorphism problem when parameterized by width parameters related to tree decompositions. We apply the following technique to obtain fixed-parameter tractability for such parameters. We…

We show that the Minimal Length-Bounded L-But problem can be computed in linear time with respect to L and the tree-width of the input graph as parameters. In this problem the task is to find a set of edges of a graph such that after…
We present the first fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for exact computation of generalized hypertree width (ghw) and fractional hypertree width (fhw). Our algorithms are parameterized by the target width, the rank, and the maximum…
A graph is geometric 1-planar if it admits a straight-line drawing where each edge is crossed at most once. We provide the first systematic study of the parameterized complexity of recognizing geometric 1-planar graphs. By substantially…
In Path Set Packing, the input is an undirected graph $G$, a collection $\calp$ of simple paths in $G$, and a positive integer $k$. The problem is to decide whether there exist $k$ edge-disjoint paths in $\calp$. We study the parameterized…
We investigate the parameterized complexity of the Isometric Path Partition problem when parameterized by the treewidth ($\mathrm{tw}$) of the input graph, arguably one of the most widely studied parameters. Courcelle's theorem shows that…
Given a graph G, a matching is a subset of edges of G that do not share an endpoint. A matching M is uniquely restricted if the subgraph induced by the endpoints of the edges of M has exactly one perfect matching. Given a graph G and a…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $\mathcal{F}$ of forbidden subgraphs, we study $\mathcal{F}$-Free Edge Deletion, where the goal is to remove minimum number of edges such that the resulting graph does not contain any $F\in \mathcal{F}$ as a…
Combining the techniques of approximation algorithms and parameterized complexity has long been considered a promising research area, but relatively few results are currently known. In this paper we study the parameterized approximability…
