The problem of distributed maximal independent set (MIS) is investigated on inhomogeneous random graphs with power-law weights by which the scale-free networks can be produced. Such a particular problem has been solved on graphs with $n$…
We give a $O^*(k^{O(k)})$ time isomorphism testing algorithm for graphs of eigenvalue multiplicity bounded by $k$ which improves on the previous best running time bound of $O^*(2^{O(k^2/\log k)})$.
The maximum independent set problem is known to be NP-hard in the class of subcubic graphs, i.e. graphs of vertex degree at most 3. We present a polynomial-time solution in a subclass of subcubic graphs generalizing several previously known…
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…
We introduce a novel evolutionary formulation of the problem of finding a maximum independent set of a graph. The new formulation is based on the relationship that exists between a graph's independence number and its acyclic orientations.…
This paper presents an algorithm for estimating the weight of a maximum weighted matching by augmenting any estimation routine for the size of an unweighted matching. The algorithm is implementable in any streaming model including dynamic…
Let c denote a non-negative constant. Suppose that we are given an edge-weighted bipartite graph G=(V,E) with its 2-layered drawing and a family X of intersecting edge pairs. We consider the problem of finding a maximum weighted matching M*…
We present a new scaling algorithm for maximum (or minimum) weight perfect matching on general, edge weighted graphs. Our algorithm runs in $O(m\sqrt{n}\log(nN))$ time, $O(m\sqrt{n})$ per scale, which matches the running time of the best…
In this paper, we provide polynomial-time algorithms for different extensions of the matching counting problem, namely maximal matchings, path matchings (linear forest) and paths, on graph classes of bounded clique-width. For maximal…
We continue the study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, and, more specifically, of graph classes with bounded tree-independence number. In [Dallard, Milani\v{c}, and…
We show that there is no subexponential time algorithm for computing the exact solution of the maximum independent set problem in d-regular graphs unless ETH fails. We expand our method to show that it helps to provide lower bounds for…
The maximum bipartite matching problem is among the most fundamental and well-studied problems in combinatorial optimization. A beautiful and celebrated combinatorial algorithm of Hopcroft and Karp (1973) shows that maximum bipartite…
We give a parameterized algorithm for weighted vertex cover on graphs with maximum degree 3 whose time complexity is $O^*(1.402^t)$, where $t$ is the minimum size of a vertex cover of the input graph.
The maximum independent set problem is a classical NP-hard problem in theoretical computer science. In this work, we study a special case where the family of graphs considered is restricted to intersection graphs of sets of axis-aligned…
In this paper we show how to solve the \emph{Maximum Weight Stable Set Problem} in a claw-free graph $G(V, E)$ with $\alpha(G) \le 3$ in time ${\cal O}(|E|\log|V|)$. More precisely, in time ${\cal O}(|E|)$ we check whether $\alpha(G) \le 3$…
The induced matching width of a tree decomposition of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest induced matching $M$ of $G$, such that there exists a bag that intersects every edge in $M$. The induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$,…
We prove the following result about approximating the maximum independent set in a graph. Informally, we show that any approximation algorithm with a ``non-trivial'' approximation ratio (as a function of the number of vertices of the input…
We describe approximation algorithms in Linial's classic LOCAL model of distributed computing to find maximum-weight matchings in a hypergraph of rank $r$. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm to generate a matching which is an…

We design an $O(n^3)$ algorithm to find a minimum weighted coloring of a ($P_5, \bar{P}_5$)-free graph. Furthermore, the same technique can be used to solve the same problem for several classes of graphs, defined by forbidden induced…
