The study of parameterized streaming complexity on graph problems was initiated by Fafianie et al. (MFCS'14) and Chitnis et al. (SODA'15 and SODA'16). Simply put, the main goal is to design streaming algorithms for parameterized problems…
The basic principle of graph rewriting is the stepwise replacement of subgraphs inside a host graph. A challenge in such replacement steps is the treatment of the patch graph, consisting of those edges of the host graph that touch the…
A graphical realization of a linear code C consists of an assignment of the coordinates of C to the vertices of a graph, along with a specification of linear state spaces and linear ``local constraint'' codes to be associated with the edges…
Subgraph similarity search, one of the core problems in graph search, concerns whether a target graph approximately contains a query graph. The problem is recently touched by neural methods. However, current neural methods do not consider…

Finding paths in graphs is a fundamental graph-theoretic task. In this work, we we are concerned with finding a path with some constraints on its length and the number of vertices neighboring the path, that is, being outside of and incident…
We investigate the computational complexity of problems on toric ideals such as normal forms, Gr\"obner bases, and Graver bases. We show that all these problems are strongly NP-hard in the general case. Nonetheless, we can derive efficient…

A resolving set $S$ of a graph $G$ is a subset of its vertices such that no two vertices of $G$ have the same distance vector to $S$. The Metric Dimension problem asks for a resolving set of minimum size, and in its decision form, a…
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…
When adopting a model-based formulation, solving inverse problems encountered in multiband imaging requires to define spatial and spectral regularizations. In most of the works of the literature, spectral information is extracted from the…
Tree-width and path-width are well-known graph parameters. Many NP-hard graph problems allow polynomial-time solutions, when restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or bounded path-width. In this work, we study the behavior of tree-width…
We initiate the study of a new parameterization of graph problems. In a multiple interval representation of a graph, each vertex is associated to at least one interval of the real line, with an edge between two vertices if and only if an…
We consider the problems of deciding whether an input graph can be modified by removing/adding at most k vertices/edges such that the result of the modification satisfies some property definable in first-order logic. We establish a number…
