We design new algorithms for approximating 2CSPs on graphs with bounded threshold rank, that is, whose normalized adjacency matrix has few eigenvalues larger than $\varepsilon$, smaller than $-\varepsilon$, or both. Unlike on worst-case…

In this paper we design {\sf FPT}-algorithms for two parameterized problems. The first is \textsc{List Digraph Homomorphism}: given two digraphs $G$ and $H$ and a list of allowed vertices of $H$ for every vertex of $G$, the question is…

A matching cut of a graph is a partition of its vertex set in two such that no vertex has more than one neighbor across the cut. The Matching Cut problem asks if a graph has a matching cut. This problem, and its generalization d-cut, has…

The basic (and traditional) crossing number problem is to determine the minimum number of crossings in a topological drawing of an input graph in the plane. We develop a unified framework yielding fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms…

We study the NP-hard Minimum Shared Edges (MSE) problem on graphs: decide whether it is possible to route $p$ paths from a start vertex to a target vertex in a given graph while using at most $k$ edges more than once. We show that MSE can…

In the Edge Bipartization problem one is given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the question is whether $k$ edges can be deleted from $G$ so that it becomes bipartite. In 2006, Guo et al. [J. Comput. Syst. Sci.,…

The minimum cut problem for an undirected edge-weighted graph asks us to divide its set of nodes into two blocks while minimizing the weight sum of the cut edges. In this paper, we engineer the fastest known exact algorithm for the problem.…

We describe a new approximation algorithm for Max Cut. Our algorithm runs in $\tilde O(n^2)$ time, where $n$ is the number of vertices, and achieves an approximation ratio of $.531$. On instances in which an optimal solution cuts a…

The crossing number is the smallest number of pairwise edge-crossings when drawing a graph into the plane. There are only very few graph classes for which the exact crossing number is known or for which there at least exist constant…
