The geometric dimension $g$ of a Vector Addition System with States (VASS) is the dimension of the vector space generated by cycles in the VASS; this parameter refines the standard dimension $d$, the number of counters. Recently, it was…

Given a simple and connected graph $G=(V,E)$, and a positive integer $k$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a $k$-metric generator for $G$, if for any pair of different vertices $u,v\in V$, there exist at least $k$ vertices…

Given an ordering of the vertices of a graph, the cost of covering an edge is the smaller number of its two ends. The minimum sum vertex cover problem asks for an ordering that minimizes the total cost of covering all edges. We consider…

For a fixed finite family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the $\mathcal{F}$-Minor-Free Deletion problem takes as input a graph $G$ and an integer $\ell$ and asks whether there exists a set $X \subseteq V(G)$ of size at most $\ell$ such that $G-X$…

A monitoring edge-geodetic set, or simply an MEG-set, of a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $M \subseteq V(G)$ such that given any edge $e$ of $G$, $e$ lies on every shortest $u$-$v$ path of $G$, for some $u,v \in M$. The monitoring…

A set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a basis or resolving set of a graph $G$ if for each $x,y\in V(G)$ there is a vertex $u\in S$ such that $d(x,u)\neq d(y,u)$. A basis $S$ is a fault-tolerant basis if $S\setminus \{x\}$ is a basis for…

We study the parameterized and kernelization complexity of the s-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem, a distance-bounded generalization of Cluster Edge Deletion. Given a graph G = (V, E) and integers k and s, the goal is to delete at most k…

For a graph class $\mathcal{G}$, we define the $\mathcal{G}$-modular cardinality of a graph $G$ as the minimum size of a vertex partition of $G$ into modules that each induces a graph in $\mathcal{G}$. This generalizes other module-based…

In this paper we initiate the study of broadcast dimension, a variant of metric dimension. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(u,w)$ denote the length of a $u-w$ geodesic in $G$. For $k \ge 1$, let $d_k(x,y)=\min \{d(x,y),…

One way to define the Matching Cut problem is: Given a graph $G$, is there an edge-cut $M$ of $G$ such that $M$ is an independent set in the line graph of $G$? We propose the more general Conflict-Free Cut problem: Together with the graph…

Recently, Lafond and Luo [MFCS 2023] defined the $\mathcal{G}$-modular cardinality of a graph $G$ as the minimum size of a partition of $V(G)$ into modules that belong to a graph class $\mathcal{G}$. We analyze the complexity of calculating…
