The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…

We prove essentially tight lower bounds, conditionally to the Exponential Time Hypothesis, for two fundamental but seemingly very different cutting problems on surface-embedded graphs: the Shortest Cut Graph problem and the Multiway Cut…

A flow graph $G=(V,E,s)$ is a directed graph with a distinguished start vertex $s$. The dominator tree $D$ of $G$ is a tree rooted at $s$, such that a vertex $v$ is an ancestor of a vertex $w$ if and only if all paths from $s$ to $w$…

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E' of E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by…

The independence number of a tree decomposition is the size of a largest independent set contained in a single bag. The tree-independence number of a graph $G$ is the minimum independence number of a tree decomposition of $G$. As shown…

For a class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs, the objective of \textsc{Subgraph Complementation to} $\mathcal{G}$ is to find whether there exists a subset $S$ of vertices of the input graph $G$ such that modifying $G$ by complementing the subgraph…

Subgraph complementation is an operation that toggles all adjacencies inside a selected vertex set. Given a graph \(G\) and a target class \(\mathcal{C}\), the Minimum Subgraph Complementation problem asks for a minimum-size vertex set…

We present exact and heuristic algorithms that find, for a given family of graphs, a graph that contains each member of the family as an induced subgraph. For $0 \leq k \leq 6$, we give the minimum number of vertices $f(k)$ in a graph…

In a graph, we assign distinct integers to the vertices, and take the sum of two integers if they are on two adjacent vertices. The minimum possible number of different sums is the \emph{sum index} of this graph. In this paper, we present…

We address the induced matching enumeration problem. An edge set $M$ is an induced matching of a graph $G =(V,E)$. The enumeration of matchings are widely studied in literature, but the induced matching has not been paid much attention. A…
