We present several novel encodings for cardinality constraints, which use fewer clauses than previous encodings and, more importantly, introduce new generally applicable techniques for constructing compact encodings. First, we present a CNF…

We prove that several natural graph classes have tree-decompositions with minimum width such that each bag has bounded treewidth. For example, every planar graph has a tree-decomposition with minimum width such that each bag has treewidth…

We analyse the power of graph neural networks (GNNs) in terms of Boolean circuit complexity and descriptive complexity. We prove that the graph queries that can be computed by a polynomial-size bounded-depth family of GNNs are exactly those…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are widely used for their ability to effectively approximate large classes of functions. This flexibility, however, makes the strict enforcement of constraints on DNNs an open problem. Here we present a framework…

We study the minimum size $f$ of a feedback vertex set in directed and undirected $n$-vertex graphs of given degeneracy or treewidth. In the undirected setting the bound $\frac{k-1}{k+1}n$ is known to be tight for graphs with bounded…

Parameterized complexity seeks to use input structure to obtain faster algorithms for NP-hard problems. This has been most successful for graphs of low treewidth: Many problems admit fast algorithms relative to treewidth and many of them…

We introduce Tree Decision Diagrams (TDD) as a model for Boolean functions that generalizes OBDD. They can be seen as a restriction of structured d-DNNF; that is, d-DNNF that respect a vtree $T$. We show that TDDs enjoy the same…

One of the fundamental results in graph minor theory is that for every planar graph $H$, there is a minimum integer $f(H)$ such that graphs with no minor isomorphic to $H$ have treewidth at most $f(H)$. A lower bound for ${f(H)}$ can be…

The bandwidth of a $n$-vertex graph $G$ is the smallest integer $b$ such that there exists a bijective function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \{1,...,n\}$, called a layout of $G$, such that for every edge $uv \in E(G)$, $|f(u) - f(v)| \leq b$. In…
