We introduce the TemporallyEdgeDisjointScheduleCompletion (TEDSC) problem in which we need to cover a set of temporal edge demands $D$ by routing $k$ temporal walks through a directed static graph while remaining temporally edge disjoint.…

A temporal graph has an edge set that may change over discrete time steps, and a temporal path (or walk) must traverse edges that appear at increasing time steps. Accordingly, two temporal paths (or walks) are temporally disjoint if they do…

Temporal graphs naturally model graphs whose underlying topology changes over time. Recently, the problems TEMPORAL VERTEX COVER (or TVC) and SLIDING-WINDOW TEMPORAL VERTEX COVER(or $\Delta$-TVC for time-windows of a fixed-length $\Delta$)…

For a connected graph $G = (V, E)$ and $s, t \in V$, a non-separating $s$-$t$ path is a path $P$ between $s$ and $t$ such that the set of vertices of $P$ does not separate $G$, that is, $G - V(P)$ is connected. An $s$-$t$ path is…

Recently, Bumpus and Meeks introduced a purely temporal parameter, called vertex-interval-membership-width, which is promising for the design of fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for vertex reachability problems in temporal graphs.…

In this paper we study the fixed-parameter tractability of the problem of deciding whether a given temporal graph admits a temporal walk that visits all vertices (temporal exploration) or, in some problem variants, a certain subset of the…

Let $G$ be a graph and $a,b$ vertices of $G$. A minimal $a,b$-separator of $G$ is an inclusion-wise minimal vertex set of $G$ that separates $a$ and $b$. We consider the problem of enumerating the minimal $a,b$-separators of $G$ that…

The problem of finding paths in temporal graphs has been recently considered due to its many applications. In this paper we consider a variant of the problem that, given a vertex-colored temporal graph, asks for a path whose vertices have…

In this work, we follow the current trend on temporal graph realization, where one is given a property P and the goal is to determine whether there is a temporal graph, that is, a graph where the edge set changes over time, with property P…

We study the Temporal Exploration problem, where an agent must visit all vertices of a temporal graph while traversing at most one available edge per time step. Unlike static graphs, which can be explored in linear time, temporal…

Given a graph $G$, and terminal vertices $s$ and $t$, the TRACKING PATHS problem asks to compute a minimum number of vertices to be marked as trackers, such that the sequence of trackers encountered in each s-t path is unique. TRACKING…

A \emph{resolving set} $R$ in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is uniquely identified by its distances to the vertices of $R$. Introduced in the 1970s, this concept has been since then extensively studied from…

Temporal graphs are graphs whose edges are only present at certain points in time. Reachability in these graphs relies on temporal paths, where edges are traversed chronologically. A temporal graph that offers all-pairs reachability is said…

We study the network untangling problem introduced by Rozenshtein, Tatti, and Gionis [DMKD 2021], which is a variant of Vertex Cover on temporal graphs -- graphs whose edge set changes over discrete time steps. They introduce two problem…

In the study of temporal graphs, only paths respecting the flow of time are relevant. In this context, many concepts of walks disjointness were proposed over the years, and the validity of Menger's Theorem, as well as the complexity of…

Temporal graphs provide a useful model for many real-world networks. Unfortunately the majority of algorithmic problems we might consider on such graphs are intractable. There has been recent progress in defining structural parameters which…

A temporal graph is a graph in which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. The temporal graph exploration problem TEXP is the problem of computing a foremost exploration schedule for a temporal graph, i.e., a temporal walk…

In this work we consider temporal graphs, i.e. graphs, each edge of which is assigned a set of discrete time-labels drawn from a set of integers. The labels of an edge indicate the discrete moments in time at which the edge is available. We…

A temporal graph is a graph whose edges appear at certain points in time. These graphs are temporally connected (in class TC) if all vertices can reach each other by temporal paths (traversing the edges in chronological order). Reachability…
