We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…
Modular Decomposition focuses on repeatedly identifying a module M (a collection of vertices that shares exactly the same neighbourhood outside of M) and collapsing it into a single vertex. This notion of exactitude of neighbourhood is very…
Twin-width is a graph parameter introduced in the context of first-order model checking, and has since become a central parameter in algorithmic graph theory. While many algorithmic problems become easier on arbitrary classes of bounded…
Let $G$ be a bridgeless cubic graph. The Berge--Fulkerson Conjecture (1970s) states that $G$ admits a list of six perfect matchings such that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly two of these perfect matchings. If answered in the…
We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(2\Delta-1)$-edge-coloring, or even list-edge-coloring, in any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, in $O(\log^7 \Delta \log n)$ rounds. This answers one of the…
We continue research into a well-studied family of problems that ask whether the vertices of a graph can be partitioned into sets $A$ and~$B$, where $A$ is an independent set and $B$ induces a graph from some specified graph class ${\cal…
A new general decomposition theory inspired from modular graph decomposition is presented. This helps unifying modular decomposition on different structures, including (but not restricted to) graphs. Moreover, even in the case of graphs,…
The advent of new special-purpose hardware such as FPGA or ASIC-based annealers and quantum processors has shown potential in solving certain families of complex combinatorial optimization problems more efficiently than conventional CPUs.…
In this paper, we propose a graph classification approach for automatically determining whether to use a monolithic or a decomposition-based solution method. In this approach, an optimization problem is represented as a graph that captures…
Meta-kernelization theorems are general results that provide polynomial kernels for large classes of parameterized problems. The known meta-kernelization theorems, in particular the results of Bodlaender et al. (FOCS'09) and of Fomin et al.…
In this paper, we present an approximation of the matching coverage on large bipartite graphs, for {\em local} online matching algorithms based on the sole knowledge of the remaining degree of the nodes of the graph at hand. This…
The decomposition of undirected graphs simplifies complex problems by breaking them into solvable subgraphs, following the philosophy of divide and conquer. This paper investigates the relationship between atom decomposition and the maximum…
The domination problem and its variants represent a classical domain within algorithmic graph theory. Among these variants, the paired-domination problem holds particular prominence due to its real-world implications in security and…
Multiview canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) seeks latent low-dimensional representations encountered with multiview data of shared entities (a.k.a. common sources). However, existing MCCA approaches do not exploit the geometry of the…
Boolean matrix factorization (BMF) has many applications in data mining, bioinformatics, and network analysis. The goal of BMF is to decompose a given binary matrix as the Boolean product of two smaller binary matrices, revealing underlying…
In this paper, we propose the primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM) for distributed optimization over a graph. In particular, we optimize a sum of convex functions defined over a graph, where every edge in the graph carries a linear…
The modular decomposition of a symmetric map $\delta\colon X\times X \to \Upsilon$ (or, equivalently, a set of symmetric binary relations, a 2-structure, or an edge-colored undirected graph) is a natural construction to capture key features…
This work is the PhD thesis of Nicolas Trotignon, written in 2004 under the supervision of Fr\'ed\'eric Maffray. It is motivated by the desire for a better understanding of perfect graphs. The proof of the Claude Berge's perfect graph…
