The problem of $d$-Path Vertex Cover, $d$-PVC lies in determining a subset $F$ of vertices of a given graph $G=(V,E)$ such that $G \setminus F$ does not contain a path on $d$ vertices. The paths we aim to cover need not to be induced. It is…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with costs on its edges, the minimum-cost edge cover problem consists of finding a subset of $E$ covering all vertices in $V$ at minimum cost. If $G$ is bipartite, this problem can be solved in time $O(|V|^3)$ via a…

A graph $G$ covers a graph $H$ if there exists a locally bijective homomorphism from $G$ to $H$. We deal with regular covers where this homomorphism is prescribed by the action of a semiregular subgroup of $\textrm{Aut}(G)$. We study…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ of order $n$ and an $n$-dimensional non-negative vector $d=(d(1),d(2),\ldots,d(n))$, called demand vector, the vector domination (resp., total vector domination) is the problem of finding a minimum $S\subseteq V$…
The graph isomorphism (GI) problem, which asks whether two graphs are structurally identical, occupies a unique position in computational complexity -- it is neither known to be solvable in polynomial time, nor proven to be NP-complete. We…
