We study $\tau$-Bounded-Density Edge Deletion ($\tau$-BDED), where given an undirected graph $G$, the task is to remove as few edges as possible to obtain a graph $G'$ where no subgraph of $G'$ has density more than $\tau$. The density of a…
The Edge Multicut problem is a classical cut problem where given an undirected graph $G$, a set of pairs of vertices $\mathcal{P}$, and a budget $k$, the goal is to determine if there is a set $S$ of at most $k$ edges such that for each…
The Treewidth-2 Vertex Deletion problem asks whether a set of at most $t$ vertices can be removed from a graph, such that the resulting graph has treewidth at most two. A graph has treewidth at most two if and only if it does not contain a…
We study a large family of graph covering problems, whose definitions rely on distances, for graphs of bounded cyclomatic number (that is, the minimum number of edges that need to be removed from the graph to destroy all cycles). These…
We investigate the odd multiway node (edge) cut problem where the input is a graph with a specified collection of terminal nodes and the goal is to find a smallest subset of nonterminal nodes (edges) to delete so that the terminal nodes do…
An exact algorithm is presented for solving edge weighted graph partitioning problems. The algorithm is based on a branch and bound method applied to a continuous quadratic programming formulation of the problem. Lower bounds are obtained…
For a class $\mathcal C$ of graphs, we define $\mathcal C$-edge-brittleness of a graph $G$ as the minimum $\ell$ such that the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into sets inducing a subgraph in $\mathcal C$ and there are $\ell$ edges…
In the Minimum Bisection problem, input is a graph $G$ and the goal is to partition the vertex set into two parts $A$ and $B$, such that $||A|-|B|| \le 1$ and the number $k$ of edges between $A$ and $B$ is minimized. This problem can be…
An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some…
We present a novel algorithm for the minimum-depth elimination tree problem, which is equivalent to the optimal treedepth decomposition problem. Our algorithm makes use of two cheaply-computed lower bound functions to prune the search tree,…
The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph $G$ is equivalent to…
In the Dominated Cluster Deletion problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ and integers $k$ and $d$ and the question is to decide whether there exists a set of at most $k$ vertices whose removal results in a graph in which each…
We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…
In the problem (Unweighted) Max-Cut we are given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and asked for a set $S \subseteq V$ such that the number of edges from $S$ to $V \setminus S$ is maximal. In this paper we consider an even harder problem: (Weighted)…
We study the parameterized complexity of the classical Edge Hamiltonian Path problem and give several fixed-parameter tractability results. First, we settle an open question of Demaine et al. by showing that Edge Hamiltonian Path is FPT…
A balanced partition is a clustering of a graph into a given number of equal-sized parts. For instance, the Bisection problem asks to remove at most k edges in order to partition the vertices into two equal-sized parts. We prove that…
We give an algorithm for finding the arboricity of a weighted, undirected graph, defined as the minimum number of spanning forests that cover all edges of the graph, in $\sqrt{n} m^{1+o(1)}$ time. This improves on the previous best bound of…
We present the first fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for exact computation of generalized hypertree width (ghw) and fractional hypertree width (fhw). Our algorithms are parameterized by the target width, the rank, and the maximum…
For a graph $H$, the $H$-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most $k$ edges whose deletion from the input graph $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of $H$. We prove that $H$-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete…
In this paper, we consider the problem of counting and sampling structures in graphs. We define a class of "edge universal labeling problems"---which include proper $k$-colorings, independent sets, and downsets---and describe simple…
