Temporal graphs are graphs where the topology and/or other properties of the graph change with time. They have been used to model applications with temporal information in various domains. Problems on static graphs become more challenging…

Given an undirected graph $G$, a collection $\{(s_1,t_1),..., (s_k,t_k)\}$ of pairs of vertices, and an integer $p$, the Edge Multicut problem ask if there is a set $S$ of at most $p$ edges such that the removal of $S$ disconnects every…

We consider the problem of assigning appearing times to the edges of a digraph in order to maximize the (average) temporal reachability between pairs of nodes. Motivated by the application to public transit networks, where edges cannot be…

We address here spanning tree problems on a graph with binary edge weights. For a general weighted graph the minimum spanning tree is solved in super-linear running time, even when the edges of the graph are pre-sorted. A related problem,…

Finite obstruction sets for lower ideals in the minor order are guaranteed to exist by the Graph Minor Theorem. It has been known for several years that, in principle, obstruction sets can be mechanically computed for most natural lower…

A temporal graph is a graph whose edges only appear at certain points in time. Reachability in these graphs is defined in terms of paths that traverse the edges in chronological order (temporal paths). This form of reachability is neither…

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem asks if there is a vertex set $T$ of size at most $k$ that hits all cycles in the graph. The fixed-parameter tractability status of FVS in directed graphs was a…
