A dominating set of a graph $\mathcal{G=(V, E)}$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq\mathcal{V}$ such that every vertex $v\in \mathcal{V} \setminus S$ outside the dominating set is adjacent to a vertex $u\in S$ within the set. The minimum…
Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and an integer $k$, the Minimum Membership Dominating Set problem asks to compute a set $S \subseteq V$ such that for each $v \in V$, $1 \leq |N[v] \cap S| \leq k$. The problem is known to be NP-complete even on…
A vertex of a plane digraph is bimodal if all its incoming edges (and hence all its outgoing edges) are consecutive in the cyclic order around it. A plane digraph is bimodal if all its vertices are bimodal. Bimodality is at the heart of…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a collection of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(P)$ has vertex set $P$, with an edge between two vertices if their corresponding disks intersect. We study the dominating set…
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…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph without isolated vertices. A matching in $G$ is a set of independent edges in $G$. A perfect matching $M$ in $G$ is a matching such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to an edge of $M$. A set $S\subseteq V$ is a…
Hitting Set is a classic problem in combinatorial optimization. Its input consists of a set system F over a finite universe U and an integer t; the question is whether there is a set of t elements that intersects every set in F. The Hitting…
Given a clique-width $k$-expression of a graph $G$, we provide $2^{O(k)}\cdot n$ time algorithms for connectivity constraints on locally checkable properties such as Node-Weighted Steiner Tree, Connected Dominating Set, or Connected Vertex…
Fully dynamic graph is a data structure that (1) supports edge insertions and deletions and (2) answers problem specific queries. The time complexity of (1) and (2) are referred to as the update time and the query time respectively. There…
A set $S$ of vertices of a graph is a defensive alliance if, for each element of $S$, the majority of its neighbours is in $S$. We consider the notion of local minimality in this paper. We are interested in locally minimal defensive…
A key task in multi-objective optimization is to compute the Pareto subset or frontier $P$ of a given $d$-dimensional objective space $F$; that is, a maximal subset $P\subseteq F$ such that every element in $P$ is not-dominated (it is not…
The Exact Matching (EM) problem asks whether there exists a perfect matching which uses a prescribed number of red edges in a red/blue edge-colored graph. While there exists a randomized polynomial-time algorithm for the problem, only some…
Given a graph G, a matching is a subset of edges of G that do not share an endpoint. A matching M is uniquely restricted if the subgraph induced by the endpoints of the edges of M has exactly one perfect matching. Given a graph G and a…
This paper settles the computational complexity of model checking of several extensions of the monadic second order (MSO) logic on two classes of graphs: graphs of bounded treewidth and graphs of bounded neighborhood diversity. A classical…
A set of vertices $W$ of a graph $G$ is a total $k$-dominating set when every vertex of $G$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $W$. In a recent article, Chiarelli et al.\ (Improved Algorithms for $k$-Domination and Total $k$-Domination in Proper…
Cutwidth is a widely studied parameter that quantifies how well a graph can be decomposed along small edge-cuts. It complements pathwidth, which captures decomposition by small vertex separators, and it is well-known that cutwidth…
Vertex integrity is a graph parameter that measures the connectivity of a graph. Informally, its meaning is that a graph has small vertex integrity if it has a small separator whose removal disconnects the graph into connected components…
The message complexity of a distributed algorithm is the total number of messages sent by all nodes over the course of the algorithm. This paper studies the message complexity of distributed algorithms for fundamental graph optimization…
