We study two fundamental decremental dynamic graph problems. In both problems, we need to maintain a vertex-weighted forest of size $n$ under edge deletions, weight updates, and a certain information-retrieval query. Both problems can be…
We define a search problem on trees that closely captures the backtracking behavior of all current practical graph isomorphism algorithms. Given two trees with colored leaves, the goal is to find two leaves of matching color, one in each of…
We present a polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm for optimal partitions in the shortest path metric induced by a tree. This resolves, among other things, the exact complexity status of the optimal partition problems in one…
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…
In the context of tree-search stochastic planning algorithms where a generative model is available, we consider on-line planning algorithms building trees in order to recommend an action. We investigate the question of avoiding re-planning…
We combine two methods for the lossless compression of unlabeled graphs - entropy compressing adjacency lists and computing canonical names for vertices - and solve an ensuing novel optimisation problem: Minimum-Entropy Tree-Extraction…
In this paper, we present a new exact algorithm for counting perfect matchings, which relies on neither inclusion-exclusion principle nor tree-decompositions. For any bipartite graph of $2n$ nodes and $\Delta n$ edges such that $\Delta \geq…
We consider a variant of treewidth that we call clique-partitioned treewidth in which each bag is partitioned into cliques. This is motivated by the recent development of FPT-algorithms based on similar parameters for various problems. With…
It is common to encounter situations where one must solve a sequence of similar computational problems. Running a standard algorithm with worst-case runtime guarantees on each instance will fail to take advantage of valuable structure…
Treewidth is a measure of how tree-like a graph is. It has many important algorithmic applications because many NP-hard problems on general graphs become tractable when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth. Algorithms for problems on…
This paper addresses the problem of finding a representation of a subtree distance, which is an extension of the tree metric. We show that a minimal representation is uniquely determined by a given subtree distance, and give a linear time…
We present linear-time algorithms for partitioning a path or a tree with weights on the vertices by removing $k$ edges to maximize the minimum-weight component. We also use the same framework to partition a path with weight on the vertices,…
This paper offers a new authentication algorithm based on image matching of nano-resolution visual identifiers with tree-shaped patterns. The algorithm includes image-to-tree conversion by greedy extraction of the fractal pattern skeleton…
Min-Cut queries are fundamental: Preprocess an undirected edge-weighted graph, to quickly report a minimum-weight cut that separates a query pair of nodes $s,t$. The best data structure known for this problem simply builds a cut-equivalent…
For a graph $G$, the parameter treedepth measures the minimum depth among all forests $F$, called elimination forests, such that $G$ is a subgraph of the ancestor-descendant closure of $F$. We introduce a logic, called neighborhood operator…
Monotone trees - trees with a function defined on their vertices that decreases the further away from a root node one travels, are a natural model for a process that weakens the further one gets from its source. Given an aggregation of…
Dynamic programming over tree decompositions is a common technique in parameterized algorithms. In this paper, we study whether this technique can also be applied to compute Pareto sets of multiobjective optimization problems. We first…
Computing differences between tree-structured data is a critical but challenging problem in software analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel tree diffing approach called SatDiff, which reformulates the structural diffing problem into a…
Decompositional parameters such as treewidth are commonly used to obtain fixed-parameter algorithms for NP-hard graph problems. For problems that are W[1]-hard parameterized by treewidth, a natural alternative would be to use a suitable…
For a graph class $\mathcal{C}$, the $\mathcal{C}$-Edge-Deletion problem asks for a given graph $G$ to delete the minimum number of edges from $G$ in order to obtain a graph in $\mathcal{C}$. We study the $\mathcal{C}$-Edge-Deletion problem…
