Capacitated Vertex Cover is the hard-capacitated variant of Vertex Cover: given a graph, a capacity for every vertex, and an integer $k$, the task is to select at most $k$ vertices that cover all edges and assign each edge to one of its…
A popular model to measure the stability of a network is k-core - the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has at least k neighbors. Many studies maximize the number of vertices in k-core to improve the stability of a network. In…
For a fixed graph property $\Phi$ and integer $k \geq 1$, consider the problem of counting the induced $k$-vertex subgraphs satisfying $\Phi$ in an input graph $G$. This problem can be solved by brute-force in time $O(n^{k})$. Under ETH, we…
In this paper, we study two generalizations of Vertex Cover and Edge Cover, namely Colorful Vertex Cover and Colorful Edge Cover. In the Colorful Vertex Cover problem, given an $n$-vertex edge-colored graph $G$ with colors from $\{1,…
We investigate the algorithmic problems of the {\it homophyly phenomenon} in networks. Given an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ and a vertex coloring $c \colon V \rightarrow {1, 2, ..., k}$ of $G$, we say that a vertex $v\in V$ is {\it happy}…
In the classical partial vertex cover problem, we are given a graph $G$ and two positive integers $R$ and $L$. The goal is to check whether there is a subset $V'$ of $V$ of size at most $R$, such that $V'$ covers at least $L$ edges of $G$.…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite undirected graph. An edge set $E' \subseteq E$ is a {\em dominating induced matching} ({\em d.i.m.}) in $G$ if every edge in $E$ is intersected by exactly one edge of $E'$. The \emph{Dominating Induced Matching}…
In this paper we study the problem of finding a small safe set $S$ in a graph $G$, i.e. a non-empty set of vertices such that no connected component of $G[S]$ is adjacent to a larger component in $G - S$. We enhance our understanding of the…
The \textsc{Bipartite Contraction} problem is to decide, given a graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, whether we can can obtain a bipartite graph from $G$ by at most $k$ edge contractions. The fixed-parameter tractability of the problem was shown…
We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs from a computational point of view. A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is a graph $G$ where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative; $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$ denotes the set of negative edges.…
For a graph $F$, a graph $G$ is \emph{$F$-free} if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $F$. For two graphs $G$ and $H$, an \emph{$H$-coloring} of $G$ is a mapping $f:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ such that for every edge $uv\in…
We consider the problem of counting the number of vertices reachable from each vertex in a digraph $G$, which is equal to computing all the out-degrees of the transitive closure of $G$. The current (theoretically) fastest algorithms run in…
Graph colouring is a fundamental problem for networks, serving as a tool for avoiding conflicts via symmetry breaking, for example, avoiding multiple computer processes simultaneously updating the same resource. This paper considers a…
A set of colored graphs are compatible, if for every color $i$, the number of vertices of color $i$ is the same in every graph. A simultaneous embedding of $k$ compatibly colored graphs, each with $n$ vertices, consists of $k$ planar…
In the \textsc{Coloring Reconfiguration} problem, we are given two proper $k$-colorings of a graph and asked to decide whether one can be transformed into the other by repeatedly applying a specified recoloring rule, while maintaining a…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite undirected graph without loops and multiple edges. A subset $M \subseteq E$ of edges is a {\em dominating induced matching} ({\em d.i.m.}) in $G$ if every edge in $E$ is intersected by exactly one edge of $M$. In…
In the presented paper we study the Length-Bounded Cut problem for special graph classes as well as from a parameterized-complexity viewpoint. Here, we are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$, and positive integers $\beta$ and…
The problem of whether and how one can compute the twin-width of a graph -- along with an accompanying contraction sequence -- lies at the forefront of the area of algorithmic model theory. While significant effort has been aimed at…
An edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is called stable if the value of a maximum-weight matching equals the value of a maximum-weight fractional matching. Stable graphs play an important role in some interesting game theory problems, such as…
We present fixed parameter tractable algorithms for the conflict-free coloring problem on graphs. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, \emph{conflict-free coloring} of $G$ refers to coloring a subset of $V$ such that for every vertex $v$, there is a…
