In the framework of computational complexity and in an effort to define a more natural reduction for problems of equivalence, we investigate the recently introduced kernel reduction, a reduction that operates on each element of a pair…
In a graph, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors, and a dominating set is a set of vertices that together dominate the entire graph. Given a graph and two dominating sets of equal size $k$, the {\em Dominating Set Reconfiguration…

Given an unweighted graph $G$, the *minimum $r$-dominating set problem* asks for the smallest-cardinality subset $S$ such that every vertex in $G$ is within radius $r$ of some vertex in $S$. While the $r$-dominating set problem on planar…
We consider Upper Domination, the problem of finding the minimal dominating set of maximum cardinality. Very few exact algorithms have been described for solving Upper Domination. In particular, no binary programming formulations for Upper…
We continue the study initiated by Bonomo-Braberman and Gonzalez in 2020 on $r$-locally checkable problems. We propose a dynamic programming algorithm that takes as input a graph with an associated clique-width expression and solves a…
We study the existence of polynomial kernels, for parameterized problems without a polynomial kernel on general graphs, when restricted to graphs of bounded twin-width. Our main result is that a polynomial kernel for $k$-Dominating Set on…
In a graph G, a k-attack A is any set of at most k vertices and l-defense D is a set of at most l vertices. We say that defense D counters attack A if each a in A can be matched to a distinct defender d in D with a equal to d or a adjacent…
In this paper we deal with the signed Roman domination and signed total Roman domination problems. For each problem we propose two integer linear programming (ILP) formulations, the constraint programming (CP) formulation and variable…
In complex visual recognition tasks it is typical to adopt multiple descriptors, that describe different aspects of the images, for obtaining an improved recognition performance. Descriptors that have diverse forms can be fused into a…
We consider two general frameworks for multiple domination, which are called <r,s>-domination and parametric domination. They generalise and unify {k}-domination, k-domination, total k-domination and k-tuple domination. In this paper, known…
Roman domination and its higher-order extensions have attracted considerable attention due to their natural interpretation in terms of defensive resource allocation on networks. The recently introduced $[k]$-Roman domination framework…
This paper studies the kernelization complexity of graph coloring problems with respect to certain structural parameterizations of the input instances. We are interested in how well polynomial-time data reduction can provably shrink…
The secure domination problem, a variation of the domination problem with some important real-world applications, is considered. Very few algorithmic attempts to solve this problem have been presented in literature, and the most successful…
We introduce a new kernelization tool, called rainbow matching technique}, that is appropriate for the design of polynomial kernels for packing problems and their hitting counterparts. Our technique capitalizes on the powerful combinatorial…
In a parameterized problem, every instance I comes with a positive integer k. The problem is said to admit a polynomial kernel if, in polynomial time, one can reduce the size of the instance I to a polynomial in k, while preserving the…
By providing a new framework, we extend previous results on locally checkable problems in bounded treewidth graphs. As a consequence, we show how to solve, in polynomial time for bounded treewidth graphs, double Roman domination and Grundy…
The notion of a (polynomial) kernelization from parameterized complexity is a well-studied model for efficient preprocessing for hard computational problems. By now, it is quite well understood which parameterized problems do or…
