Consider a sequence of LexBFS vertex orderings {\sigma}1, {\sigma}2, . . . where each ordering {\sigma}i is used to break ties for {\sigma}i+1. Since the total number of vertex orderings of a finite graph is finite, this sequence must end…

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…
In this paper, we provide polynomial-time algorithms for different extensions of the matching counting problem, namely maximal matchings, path matchings (linear forest) and paths, on graph classes of bounded clique-width. For maximal…

A common technique to speed up shortest path queries in graphs is to use a bidirectional search, i.e., performing a forward search from the start and a backward search from the destination until a common vertex on a shortest path is found.…
While graphs and abstract data structures can be large and complex, practical instances are often regular or highly structured. If the instance has sufficient structure, we might hope to compress the object into a more succinct…

We improve the running time of the general algorithmic technique known as Baker's approach (1994) on H-minor-free graphs from O(n^{f(|H|)}) to O(f(|H|) n^{O(1)}). The numerous applications include e.g. a 2-approximation for coloring and…
