Given a digraph $D=(V,A)$ and a positive integer $k$, an arc set $F\subseteq A$ is called a \textbf{$k$-arborescence} if it is the disjoint union of $k$ spanning arborescences. The problem of finding a minimum cost $k$-arborescence is known…

The decision problem of perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs is famously an NP-complete problem. It has been shown by Keevash--Knox--Mycroft [STOC, 2013] that for every $\varepsilon>0$, such decision problem restricted to $k$-uniform…

A monitoring edge-geodetic set of a graph is a subset $M$ of its vertices such that for every edge $e$ in the graph, deleting $e$ increases the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $M$. We study the following computational…

The parametric global minimum cut problem concerns a graph $G = (V,E)$ where the cost of each edge is an affine function of a parameter $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^d$ for some fixed dimension $d$. We consider the problems of finding the next…

A matching cut is a matching that is also an edge cut. In the problem Minimum Matching Cut, we ask for a matching cut with the minimum number of edges in the matching. We investigate the differences in complexity between Minimum Matching…

The Max-Cut problem is known to be NP-hard on general graphs, while it can be solved in polynomial time on planar graphs. In this paper, we present a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the problem on `almost' planar graphs: Given an…

An $s{\operatorname{-}}t$ minimum cut in a graph corresponds to a minimum weight subset of edges whose removal disconnects vertices $s$ and $t$. Finding such a cut is a classic problem that is dual to that of finding a maximum flow from $s$…
