We consider the $k$-Clustering problem, which is for a given multiset of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ and a nonnegative number $D$, to decide whether $X$ can be partitioned into $k$ clusters $C_1, \dots, C_k$ such that the cost…

In this paper we study the hardness of the $k$-Center problem on inputs that model transportation networks. For the problem, a graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge lengths and an integer $k$ are given and a center set $C\subseteq V$ needs to be chosen…

In parameterized complexity, it is a natural idea to consider different generalizations of classic problems. Usually, such generalization are obtained by introducing a "relaxation" variable, where the original problem corresponds to setting…

We consider parameterised subgraph-counting problems of the following form: given a graph G, how many k-tuples of its vertices have a given property? A number of such problems are known to be #W[1]-complete; here we substantially generalise…

In this survey, we address the worst-case, average-case, and generic-case time complexity of the word problem and some other algorithmic problems in several classes of groups and show that it is often the case that the average-case…

In Clique Cover, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to partition the vertices of $G$ into $k$ cliques. Clique Cover on unit ball graphs has a natural interpretation as a clustering problem, where the objective function is the…

Using flag algebras, we prove that the minimum density of $8$-cliques in a large graph without an independent set of size $3$ is $491411/268435456+o(1)$, thus resolving a new case of an old problem of Erd\H{o}s [Magyar Tud. Akad. Mat.…
