Let F be a fixed finite obstruction set of graphs and G be a graph revealed in an online fashion, node by node. The online Delayed F-Node-Deletion Problem (F-Edge-Deletion Problem}) is to keep G free of every H in F by deleting nodes…
Parameterized analysis provides powerful mechanisms for obtaining fine-grained insights into different types of algorithms. In this work, we combine this field with evolutionary algorithms and provide parameterized complexity analysis of…
A graph operation that {\em contracts edges} is one of the fundamental operations in the theory of graph minors. Parameterized Complexity of editing to a family of graphs by contracting $k$ edges has recently gained substantial scientific…
We present a time-optimal deterministic distributed algorithm for approximating a minimum weight vertex cover in hypergraphs of rank $f$. This problem is equivalent to the Minimum Weight Set Cover Problem in which the frequency of every…
Computing bounded depth decompositions is a bottleneck in many applications of the treedepth parameter. The fastest known algorithm, which is due to Reidl, Rossmanith, S\'{a}nchez Villaamil, and Sikdar [ICALP 2014], runs in…
Minimum Bisection denotes the NP-hard problem to partition the vertex set of a graph into two sets of equal sizes while minimizing the width of the bisection, which is defined as the number of edges between these two sets. We first consider…
In 2021, Duarte, Oliveira, and Souza [MFCS 2021] showed some problems that are FPT when parameterized by the treewidth of the complement graph (called co-treewidth). Since the degeneracy of a graph is at most its treewidth, they also…
We consider the classical Minimum Balanced Cut problem: given a graph $G$, compute a partition of its vertices into two subsets of roughly equal volume, while minimizing the number of edges connecting the subsets. We present the first {\em…
Over the past decade, we witness an increasing amount of interest in the design of exact exponential-time and parameterized algorithms for problems in Graph Drawing. Unfortunately, we still lack knowledge of general methods to develop such…
We consider the problem of finding a subgraph of a given graph which minimizes the sum of given functions at vertices evaluated at their subgraph degrees. While the problem is NP-hard already when all functions are the same, we show that it…
For the vertex selection problem $(\sigma,\rho)$-DomSet one is given two fixed sets $\sigma$ and $\rho$ of integers and the task is to decide whether we can select vertices of the input graph such that, for every selected vertex, the number…
In this work, we focus on several completion problems for subclasses of chordal graphs: Minimum Fill-In, Interval Completion, Proper Interval Completion, Threshold Completion, and Trivially Perfect Completion. In these problems, the task is…
Let ${\cal F}$ be a family of graphs. In the ${\cal F}$-Completion problem, we are given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$ as input, and asked whether at most $k$ edges can be added to $G$ so that the resulting graph does not contain a graph…
Treewidth is a measure of how tree-like a graph is. It has many important algorithmic applications because many NP-hard problems on general graphs become tractable when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth. Algorithms for problems on…
For their famous algorithm for the disjoint paths problem, Robertson and Seymour proved that there is a function $f$ such that if the tree-width of a graph $G$ with $k$ pairs of terminals is at least $f(k)$, then $G$ contains a…
In this work we consider two two-criteria optimization problems: given an input graph, the goal is to find its interval (or chordal) supergraph that minimizes the number of edges and its clique number simultaneously. For the interval…
We show that the Minimal Length-Bounded L-But problem can be computed in linear time with respect to L and the tree-width of the input graph as parameters. In this problem the task is to find a set of edges of a graph such that after…
The notion of treewidth, introduced by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal Graph Minors series, turned out to have tremendous impact on graph algorithmics. Many hard computational problems on graphs turn out to be efficiently solvable in…
A monitoring edge-geodetic set of a graph is a subset $M$ of its vertices such that for every edge $e$ in the graph, deleting $e$ increases the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $M$. We study the following computational…
We revisit two well-studied problems, Bounded Degree Vertex Deletion and Defective Coloring, where the input is a graph $G$ and a target degree $\Delta$ and we are asked either to edit or partition the graph so that the maximum degree…
