We investigate structural and algorithmic advantages of a directed version of the well-researched class of distance-hereditary graphs. Since the previously defined distance-hereditary digraphs do not permit a recursive structure, we define…
Many real-world networks were found to be highly clustered, and contain a large amount of small cliques. We here investigate the number of cliques of any size k contained in a geometric inhomogeneous random graph: a scale-free network model…
An $(n_k)$-configuration is a set of $n$ points and $n$ lines in the projective plane such that their point-line incidence graph is $k$-regular. The configuration is geometric, topological, or combinatorial depending on whether lines are…
The tree-cut width of a graph is a graph parameter defined by Wollan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 110:47-66, 2015] with the help of tree-cut decompositions. In certain cases, tree-cut width appears to be more adequate than treewidth as an…
We combine integer linear programming and recent advances in Monadic Second-Order model checking to obtain two new algorithmic meta-theorems for graphs of bounded vertex-cover. The first shows that cardMSO1, an extension of the well-known…
We define a special case of tree decompositions for planar graphs that respect a given embedding of the graph. We study the analogous width of the resulting decomposition we call the embedded-width of a plane graph. We show both upper…
Modern applications of algebraic topology to point cloud data analysis have motivated active investigation of combinatorial clique complexes -- high-dimensional extensions of combinatorial graphs. We show that meaningful invariants of such…
Over the past decade, we witness an increasing amount of interest in the design of exact exponential-time and parameterized algorithms for problems in Graph Drawing. Unfortunately, we still lack knowledge of general methods to develop such…
Deep neural networks have been applied to a wide range of problems across different application domains with great success. Recently, research into combinatorial optimization problems in particular has generated much interest in the machine…
In the presented paper we study the Length-Bounded Cut problem for special graph classes as well as from a parameterized-complexity viewpoint. Here, we are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$, and positive integers $\beta$ and…
We present a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for first-order model checking on interpretations of graph classes with bounded local cliquewidth. Notably, this includes interpretations of planar graphs, and more generally, of classes of…
A large number of NP-hard graph problems become polynomial-time solvable on graph classes where the mim-width is bounded and quickly computable. Hence, when solving such problems on special graph classes, it is helpful to know whether the…
We introduce the notion of z-topological orderings for digraphs. We prove that given a digraph G on n vertices admitting a z-topological order- ing, together with such an ordering, one may count the number of subgraphs of G that at the same…
Finding the maximum clique is a known NP-Complete problem and it is also hard to approximate. This work proposes two efficient algorithms to obtain it. Nevertheless, the first one is able to fins the maximum for some special cases, while…
The maximum clique problem is a well known NP-Hard problem with applications in data mining, network analysis, informatics, and many other areas. Although there exist several algorithms with acceptable runtimes for certain classes of…
Tree-cut width is a parameter that has been introduced as an attempt to obtain an analogue of treewidth for edge cuts. Unfortunately, in spite of its desirable structural properties, it turned out that tree-cut width falls short as an…
Many algorithms have been developed for NP-hard problems on graphs with small treewidth $k$. For example, all problems that are expressable in linear extended monadic second order can be solved in linear time on graphs of bounded treewidth.…
Many problems in computational geometry are not stated in graph-theoretic terms, but can be solved efficiently by constructing an auxiliary graph and performing a graph-theoretic algorithm on it. Often, the efficiency of the algorithm…
Finding a maximum clique in a given graph is one of the fundamental NP-hard problems. We compare two multi-core thread-parallel adaptations of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for the maximum clique problem, and provide a novel…
The metric dimension has been introduced independently by Harary, Melter and Slater in 1975 to identify vertices of a graph G using its distances to a subset of vertices of G. A resolving set X of a graph G is a subset of vertices such…
