The feedback set problems are about removing the minimum number of vertices or edges from a graph to break all its cycles. Much effort has gone into understanding their complexity on planar graphs as well as on graphs of bounded degree. We…
Temporal graphs have edge sets that change over discrete time steps. Such graphs are temporally connected (TC) if all pairs of vertices can reach each other using paths that traverse the edges in a time-respecting way (temporal paths).…
Temporal graphs are a special class of graphs for which a temporal component is added to edges, that is, each edge possesses a set of times at which it is available and can be traversed. Many classical problems on graphs can be translated…
Temporal graphs (in which edges are active at specified times) are of particular relevance for spreading processes on graphs, e.g.~the spread of disease or dissemination of information. Motivated by real-world applications, modification of…
A \emph{resolving set} $R$ in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is uniquely identified by its distances to the vertices of $R$. Introduced in the 1970s, this concept has been since then extensively studied from…
The (\textsc{Weighted}) \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} problem is a generalization of the classical \textsc{Feedback Vertex Set} problem and asks for a vertex set of minimum (weighted) size that intersects all cycles containing a…
Connectivity of temporal graphs has been widely studied both as graph theory and as gossip theory. In particular, it is well known that in order to connect every vertex to every other, a temporal graph needs to have at least $2n-4$ edges…
Reachability questions are one of the most fundamental algorithmic primitives in temporal graphs -- graphs whose edge set changes over discrete time steps. A core problem here is the NP-hard Short Restless Temporal Path: given a temporal…
Temporal graphs are introduced to model systems where the relationships among the entities of the system evolve over time. In this paper, we consider the temporal graphs where the edge set changes with time and all the changes are known a…
In this paper we consider Simultaneous Feedback Edge Set (Sim-FES) problem. In this problem, the input is an $n$-vertex graph $G$, an integer $k$ and a coloring function ${\sf col}: E(G) \rightarrow 2^{[\alpha]}$ and the objective is to…
A temporal graph is a graph in which edges are assigned a time label. Two nodes u and v of a temporal graph are connected one to the other if there exists a path from u to v with increasing edge time labels. We consider the problem of…
Feedback Vertex Set is a classic combinatorial optimization problem that asks for a minimum set of vertices in a given graph whose deletion makes the graph acyclic. From the point of view of parameterized algorithms and fixed-parameter…
Time-evolving or temporal graphs gain more and more popularity when studying the behavior of complex networks. In this context, the multistage view on computational problems is among the most natural frameworks. Roughly speaking, herein one…
Temporal graphs provide a useful model for many real-world networks. Unfortunately the majority of algorithmic problems we might consider on such graphs are intractable. There has been recent progress in defining structural parameters which…
Covering all edges of a graph by a small number of vertices, this is the NP-complete Vertex Cover problem. It is among the most fundamental graph-algorithmic problems. Following a recent trend in studying temporal graphs (a sequence of…
We study the parameterized complexity of a robust generalization of the classical Feedback Vertex Set problem, namely the Group Feedback Vertex Set problem; we are given a graph G with edges labeled with group elements, and the goal is to…
Spreading processes on graphs are a natural model for a wide variety of real-world phenomena, including information spread over social networks and biological diseases spreading over contact networks. Often, the networks over which these…
Temporal graphs are graphs with time-stamped edges. We study the problem of finding a small vertex set (the separator) with respect to two designated terminal vertices such that the removal of the set eliminates all temporal paths…
Temporal graphs are graphs whose topology is subject to discrete changes over time. Given a static underlying graph $G$, a temporal graph is represented by assigning a set of integer time-labels to every edge $e$ of $G$, indicating the…
The paper deals with the Feedback Vertex Set problem parameterized by the solution size. Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, one has to decide if there is a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that $G-S$ is acyclic. Assuming the…
