The Survivable Network Design problem (SNDP) is a well-studied problem, motivated by the design of networks that are robust to faults under the assumption that any subset of edges up to a specific number can fail. We consider non-uniform…

The Restricted Shortest Path (RSP) problem, also known as the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost (DCLC) problem, is an NP-hard bicriteria optimization problem on graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In a graph where each edge is assigned a…

In a standard $f$-connectivity network design problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a cut-requirement function $f:2^V \rightarrow {\mathbb{N}}$, and non-negative costs $c(e)$ for all $e \in E$. We are then asked to find a…

This work investigates minimal parametric networks in hyperspaces of closed subsets of metric spaces endowed with the Hausdorff distance. It is shown that the problems of finding such networks are nontrivial only within finiteness classes,…

In the Priority Steiner Tree (PST) problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with a source $s \in V$ and terminals $T \subseteq V \setminus \{s\}$, where each terminal $v \in T$ requires a nonnegative priority $P(v)$. The goal is…

In $d$-Scattered Set we are given an (edge-weighted) graph and are asked to select at least $k$ vertices, so that the distance between any pair is at least $d$, thus generalizing Independent Set. We provide upper and lower bounds on the…

In the classical Node-Disjoint Paths (NDP) problem, the input consists of an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$, and a collection $\mathcal{M}=\{(s_1,t_1),\ldots,(s_k,t_k)\}$ of pairs of its vertices, called source-destination, or demand,…

We pursue the study of edge-irregulators of graphs, which were recently introduced in [Fioravantes et al. Parametrised Distance to Local Irregularity. IPEC, 2024]. That is, we are interested in the parameter Ie(G), which, for a given graph…

For a given graph $G$ and a subset of vertices $S$, a \emph{distance preserver} is a subgraph of $G$ that preserves shortest paths between the vertices of $S$. We distinguish between a \emph{subsetwise} distance preserver, which preserves…

It is known that a number of natural graph problems which are FPT parameterized by treewidth become W-hard when parameterized by clique-width. It is therefore desirable to find a different structural graph parameter which is as general as…

We introduce and study Weighted Min $(s,t)$-Cut Prevention, where we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with vertices $s$ and $t$ and an edge cost function and the aim is to choose an edge set $D$ of total cost at most $d$ such that $G$ has no…
