Given a graph property $\Phi$, we consider the problem $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$, where the input is a pair of a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, and the task is to decide whether $G$ contains a $k$-edge subgraph that satisfies $\Phi$.…

We prove that there is a randomized polynomial-time algorithm that given an edge-weighted graph $G$ excluding a fixed-minor $Q$ on $n$ vertices and an accuracy parameter $\varepsilon>0$, constructs an edge-weighted graph~$H$ and an…

In a standard $f$-connectivity network design problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a cut-requirement function $f:2^V \rightarrow {\mathbb{N}}$, and non-negative costs $c(e)$ for all $e \in E$. We are then asked to find a…

We investigate a relaxation of the notion of fractional treewidth-fragility, namely fractional tree-independence-number-fragility. In particular, we obtain polynomial-time approximation schemes for meta-problems such as finding a…

The recently introduced graph parameter tree-cut width plays a similar role with respect to immersions as the graph parameter treewidth plays with respect to minors. In this paper, we provide the first algorithmic applications of tree-cut…

We study two log-concave sampling problems: constrained sampling and composite sampling. First, we consider sampling from a target distribution with density proportional to $\exp(-f(x))$ supported on a convex set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$,…

We introduce a class of parameterised counting problems on graphs, p-#Induced Subgraph With Property(\Phi), which generalises a number of problems which have previously been studied. This paper focusses on the case in which \Phi defines a…

We give a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm that, given a parameter $k$ and two graphs $G_1,G_2$, either concludes that one of these graphs has treewidth at least $k$, or determines whether $G_1$ and $G_2$ are isomorphic. The running time…

For any particular class of graphs, algorithms for computational problems restricted to the class often rely on structural properties that depend on the specific problem at hand. This begs the question if a large set of such results can be…

We focus on the average-case analysis: A function w : V -> Z+ is given which defines the likelihood for a node to be the one marked, and we want the strategy that minimizes the expected number of queries. Prior to this paper, very little…
