This paper presents a new anytime algorithm for the marginal MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is described in detail, its complexity and convergence rate are studied, and relations to previous theoretical results for the…
Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with positive edge lengths and two vertices $s$ and $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem is to find an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path…
Given a plane geometric graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, we want to augment it so that given parity constraints of the vertex degrees are met. In other words, given a subset $R$ of the vertices, we are interested in a plane geometric supergraph…
The Planar Graph Product Structure Theorem of Dujmovi\'c et al. [J. ACM '20] says that every planar graph $G$ is contained in $H\boxtimes P\boxtimes K_3$ for some planar graph $H$ with treewidth at most 3 and some path $P$. This result has…
In 2003, it was claimed that the following problem was solvable in polynomial time: do there exist k edge-disjoint paths of length exactly 3 between vertices s and t in a given graph? The proof was flawed, and we show that this problem is…
A polynomial time algorithm which detects all paths and cycles of all lengths in form of vertex pairs (start, finish).
Barnette's Conjecture claims that all cubic, 3-connected, planar, bipartite graphs are Hamiltonian. We give a translation of this conjecture into the matching-theoretic setting. This allows us to relax the requirement of planarity to give…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between 1-planar graphs and general and hole-free 4-map graphs and show that 1-planar graphs can be recognized in polynomial time if they are crossing-augmented, fully triangulated, and maximal…
Boesch, Li, and Suffel were the first to identify the existence of uniformly optimally reliable graphs (UOR graphs), graphs which maximize all-terminal reliability over all graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The all-terminal…
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-connectivity survivable-network design, and subset TSP. The…
Jaeger, Vertigan, and Welsh [15] proved a dichotomy for the complexity of evaluating the Tutte polynomial at fixed points: The evaluation is #P-hard almost everywhere, and the remaining points admit polynomial-time algorithms. Dell,…
We introduce a polynomial invariant of graphs on surfaces, $P_G$, generalizing the classical Tutte polynomial. Topological duality on surfaces gives rise to a natural duality result for $P_G$, analogous to the duality for the Tutte…
Temporal graphs are graphs where the edge set can change in each time step, and the vertex set stays the same. Exploration of temporal graphs whose snapshot in each time step is a connected graph, called connected temporal graphs, has been…
Tutte proved that 4-connected planar graphs are Hamiltonian. It is unknown if there is an analogous result on 1-planar graphs. In this paper, we characterize 4-connected 1-planar chordal graphs, and show that all such graphs are…
A bipartite graph $G = (X \cup Y, E)$ is a 2-layer $k$-planar graph if it admits a drawing on the plane such that the vertices in $X$ and $Y$ are placed on two parallel lines respectively, edges are drawn as straight-line segments, and…
We give the first polynomial-time algorithms on graphs of bounded maximum induced matching width (mim-width) for problems that are not locally checkable. In particular, we give $n^{\mathcal{O}(w)}$-time algorithms on graphs of mim-width at…
introduce {\sc Planar Disjoint Paths Completion}, a completion counterpart of the Disjoint Paths problem, and study its parameterized complexity. The problem can be stated as follows: given a, not necessarily connected, plane graph $G,$ $k$…
We follow the example of Tutte in his construction of the dichromate of a graph (that is, the Tutte polynomial) as a unification of the chromatic polynomial and the flow polynomial in order to construct a new polynomial invariant of maps…
Let $P$ be a path graph of $n$ vertices embedded in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding a new edge to $P$ so that the radius of the resulting graph is minimized, where any center is constrained to be one of the vertices of…
We study the design of small cost temporally connected graphs, under various constraints. We mainly consider undirected graphs of $n$ vertices, where each edge has an associated set of discrete availability instances (labels). A journey…
