The construction of cut trees (also known as Gomory-Hu trees) for a given graph enables the minimum-cut size of the original graph to be obtained for any pair of vertices. Cut trees are a powerful back-end for graph management and mining,…

We introduce the tree-decomposition-based parameter totally $\Delta$-modular treewidth (TDM-treewidth) for matrices with two nonzero entries per row. We show how to solve integer programs whose matrices have bounded TDM-treewidth in…

Treedepth, a more restrictive graph width parameter than treewidth and pathwidth, plays a major role in the theory of sparse graph classes. We show that there exists a constant $C$ such that for every positive integers $a,b$ and a graph…

In 2019, Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k asked whether every connected graph $G$ has a tree decomposition $(T, \mathcal{B})$ so that $T$ is a subgraph of $G$ and the width of $(T, \mathcal{B})$ is bounded by a function of the treewidth of $G$. We prove that…

We give a first polynomial-time algorithm for (Weighted) Feedback Vertex Set on graphs of bounded maximum induced matching width (mim-width). Explicitly, given a branch decomposition of mim-width $w$, we give an $n^{\mathcal{O}(w)}$-time…

MaxCut is a classical NP-complete problem and a crucial building block in many combinatorial algorithms. The famous Edwards-Erd\H{o}s bound states that any connected graph on n vertices with m edges contains a cut of size at least $m/2 +…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of the recognition problem for the proper $H$-graphs. The $H$-graphs are the intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a multigraph $H$, and the properness means that the…

In Defective Coloring we are given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and two integers $\chi_d, \Delta^*$ and are asked if we can partition $V$ into $\chi_d$ color classes, so that each class induces a graph of maximum degree $\Delta^*$. We investigate…

We investigate the complexity of several fundamental polynomial-time solvable problems on graphs and on matrices, when the given instance has low treewidth; in the case of matrices, we consider the treewidth of the graph formed by non-zero…

We give alternative definitions for maximum matching width, e.g. a graph $G$ has $\operatorname{mmw}(G) \leq k$ if and only if it is a subgraph of a chordal graph $H$ and for every maximal clique $X$ of $H$ there exists $A,B,C \subseteq X$…
