We study the parameterized complexity of the following fundamental geometric problems with respect to the dimension $d$: i) Given $n$ points in $\Rd$, compute their minimum enclosing cylinder. ii) Given two $n$-point sets in $\Rd$, decide…
The Integer Multicommodity Flow problem has been studied extensively in the literature. However, from a parameterised perspective, mostly special cases, such as the Disjoint Paths problem, have been considered. Therefore, we investigate the…
In this paper, we present fixed-parameter tractability algorithms for both the undirected and directed versions of the Spanning Tree Isomorphism Problem, parameterized by the size $k$ of a redundant set. A redundant set is a collection of…
Vertex integrity is a graph parameter that measures the connectivity of a graph. Informally, its meaning is that a graph has small vertex integrity if it has a small separator whose removal disconnects the graph into connected components…
What is the minimal information that a robot must retain to achieve its task? To design economical robots, the literature dealing with reduction of combinatorial filters approaches this problem algorithmically. As lossless state compression…
We study a parameterized version of the local Hamiltonian problem, called the weighted local Hamiltonian problem, where the relevant quantum states are superpositions of computational basis states of Hamming weight $k$. The Hamming weight…
The $H$-Coloring problem is a well-known generalization of the classical NP-complete problem $k$-Coloring where the task is to determine whether an input graph admits a homomorphism to the template graph $H$. This problem has been the…
For a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the $\mathcal{G}$-\textsc{Contraction} problem takes as an input a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to decide if there exists $F \subseteq E(G)$ of size at most $k$ such that $G/F$ belongs…
Many tractable algorithms for solving the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) have been developed using the notion of the treewidth of some graph derived from the input CSP instance. In particular, the incidence graph of the CSP instance…
Structural parameters of graph (such as degeneracy and arboricity) had rarely been considered when designing algorithms for $\textit{(edge) clique cover}$ problems. Taking degeneracy of graph into account, we present a greedy framework and…
We study the following general disjoint paths problem: given a supply graph $G$, a set $T\subseteq V(G)$ of terminals, a demand graph $H$ on the vertices $T$, and an integer $k$, the task is to find a set of $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint…
We consider the following problem called the $k$-Chinese Postman Problem ($k$-CPP): given a connected edge-weighted graph $G$ and integers $p$ and $k$, decide whether there are at least $k$ closed walks such that every edge of $G$ is…
Given a bipartite graph $G=(U\cup V,E)$, a left-perfect many-to-one matching is a subset $M \subseteq E$ such that each vertex in $U$ is incident with exactly one edge in $M$. If $U$ is partitioned into some groups, the matching is called…
For a graph class ${\cal H}$, the graph parameters elimination distance to ${\cal H}$ (denoted by ${\bf ed}_{\cal H}$) [Bulian and Dawar, Algorithmica, 2016], and ${\cal H}$-treewidth (denoted by ${\bf tw}_{\cal H}$) [Eiben et al. JCSS,…
We prove that Hamiltonian Path and Hamiltonian Cycle are NP-hard on graphs of linear mim-width 26, even when a linear order of the input graph with mim-width 26 is provided together with input. This fills a gap left by a broken proof of the…
In a representative democracy, the electoral process involves partitioning geographical space into districts which each elect a single representative. These representatives craft and vote on legislation, incentivizing political parties to…
We study {\sc Cluster Edge Modification} problems with constraints on the size of the clusters. A graph $G$ is a cluster graph if every connected component of $G$ is a clique. In a typical {\sc Cluster Edge Modification} problem such as the…
When modeling an application of practical relevance as an instance of a combinatorial problem X, we are often interested not merely in finding one optimal solution for that instance, but in finding a sufficiently diverse collection of good…
For the well-known Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) we are given an undirected graph $G$ with edge costs, a set $R$ of terminal vertices, and an integer demand $d_{s,t}$ for every terminal pair $s,t\in R$. The task is to compute a…
In this paper, we consider the problem of counting and sampling structures in graphs. We define a class of "edge universal labeling problems"---which include proper $k$-colorings, independent sets, and downsets---and describe simple…
