We present the problem of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) (named as \emph{MIS Filling problem}) of an arbitrary connected graph having $n$ vertices with luminous myopic mobile robots. The robots enter the graph one after another…
We present online deterministic algorithms for minimum coloring and minimum dominating set problems in the context of geometric intersection graphs. We consider a graph parameter: the independent kissing number $\zeta$, which is a number…
We initiate the study of spanners in arbitrarily vertex- or edge-colored graphs (with no "legality" restrictions), that are resilient to failures of entire color classes. When a color fails, all vertices/edges of that color crash. An…
Given a graph, the minimum dominating set (MinDS) problem is to identify a smallest set $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The MinDS problem is a classic $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem…
Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, a set $S \subseteq V \cup E$ of vertices and edges is called a mixed dominating set if every vertex and edge that is not included in $S$ happens to be adjacent or incident to a member of $S$. The mixed domination…
In a graph $ G $, a subset of vertices $ S $ is called an efficient dominating set (EDS) if every vertex in the graph is uniquely dominated by exactly one vertex in $ S $. A graph is said to be efficiently dominatable if it contains an EDS.…
Motivated by the landmark resolution of the 1-2-3 Conjecture, we initiate the study of the parameterized complexity of the Vertex-Coloring {0,1}-Edge-Weighting problem and its generalization, Vertex-Coloring Pre-edge-Weighting, under…
In a finite undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a vertex $v \in V$ {\em dominates} itself and its neighbors. A vertex set $D \subseteq V$ in $G$ is an {\em efficient dominating set} ({\em e.d.} for short) of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is dominated…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph with no isolated vertices. A vertex $v$ totally dominate a vertex $w$ ($w \ne v$), if $v$ is adjacent to $w$. A set $D \subseteq V$ called a total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex $v\in V$ is totally dominated…
Domination and coloring are two classic problems in graph theory. The major focus of this paper is the CD-COLORING problem which combines the flavours of domination and colouring. Let $G$ be an undirected graph. A proper vertex coloring of…
Given an integer $k$ and a graph where every edge is colored either red or blue, the goal of the exact matching problem is to find a perfect matching with the property that exactly $k$ of its edges are red. Soon after Papadimitriou and…
{\sc Vertex $(s, t)$-Cut} and {\sc Vertex Multiway Cut} are two fundamental graph separation problems in algorithmic graph theory. We study matroidal generalizations of these problems, where in addition to the usual input, we are given a…
We give a combinatorial condition for the existence of efficient, LP-based FPT algorithms for a broad class of graph-theoretical optimisation problems. Our condition is based on the notion of biased graphs known from matroid theory.…
A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to the vertices of $G$ such that every two adjacent vertices of $G$ have different colors. A coloring related property of a graphs is also an assignment of colors or labels to the…
A point $p \in \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to dominate another point $q \in \mathbb{R}^d$ if the coordinate of $p$ is greater than or equal to the coordinate of $q$ in every dimension. A set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is dominance-free if any…
We give a randomized algorithm that approximates the number of independent sets in a dense, regular bipartite graph -- in the language of approximate counting, we give an FPRAS for #BIS on the class of dense, regular bipartite graphs.…
A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus S$ has a neighbor in $S$, where two vertices are neighbors if they are adjacent. A secure dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of…
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…
