Understanding how a vertex relates to a set of vertices is a fundamental task in graph analysis. Given a graph $G$ and a vertex set $X \subseteq V(G)$, consider the collection of subsets of the form $N(u) \cap X$ where $u$ ranges over all…

Given a directed graph, we show how to efficiently find a shortest (directed, simple) cycle on an even number of vertices. As far as we know, no polynomial-time algorithm was previously known for this problem. In fact, finding any even…

A lemma of Fouquet implies that a claw-free graph contains an induced $C_5$, contains no odd hole, or is quasi-line. In this paper we use this result to give an improved shortest-odd-hole algorithm for claw-free graphs by exploiting the…

Let $G$ be a graph having a vertex $v$ such that $H = G - v$ is a trivially perfect graph. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of deciding whether it is possible to add at most $k$ edges to $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect…

Deterministic finite automata are one of the simplest and most practical models of computation studied in automata theory. Their conceptual extension is the non-deterministic finite automata which also have plenty of applications. In this…

We spot a hole in the area of succinct data structures for graph classes from a universe of size at most $n^n$. Very often, the input graph is labeled by the user in an arbitrary and easy-to-use way, and the data structure for the graph…

We investigate the complexity of several fundamental polynomial-time solvable problems on graphs and on matrices, when the given instance has low treewidth; in the case of matrices, we consider the treewidth of the graph formed by non-zero…

Graph-based nearest neighbor search methods have seen a surge of popularity in recent years, offering state-of-the-art performance across a wide variety of applications. Central to these methods is the task of constructing a sparse…

We present an algorithm that enumerates all the perfect matchings in a given bipartite graph G = (V,E). Our algorithm requires a constant amortized time to visit one perfect matching of G, in contrast to the current fastest algorithm,…

We introduce the first index that can be built in $o(n)$ time for a text of length $n$, and can also be queried in $o(q)$ time for a pattern of length $q$. On an alphabet of size $\sigma$, our index uses $O(n\sqrt{\log n\log\sigma})$ bits,…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be hereditary graph classes. Consider the following problem: given a graph $G\in\mathcal{D}$, find a largest, in terms of the number of vertices, induced subgraph of $G$ that belongs to $\mathcal{C}$. We…

A mixed dominating set $S$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $ S \subseteq V \cup E$ such that each element $v\in (V \cup E) \setminus S$ is adjacent or incident to at least one element in $S$. The mixed domination number $\gamma_m(G)$ of a…

The $2$-admissibility of a graph is a promising measure to identify real-world networks which have an algorithmically favourable structure. In contrast to other related measures, like the weak/strong $2$-colouring numbers or the maximum…

Boxicity of a graph $G(V,E)$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$ can be represented as the intersection graph of $k$-dimensional axis parallel rectangles in $\mathbf{R}^k$. Equivalently, it is the minimum number of interval graphs on…

We improve the worst-case information theoretic lower bound of Munro and Wu (ISAAC 2018) for $n-$vertex unlabeled chordal graphs when vertex leafage is bounded and leafage is unbounded. The class of unlabeled $k-$vertex leafage chordal…

This paper considers fully dynamic graph algorithms with both faster worst case update time and sublinear space. The fully dynamic graph connectivity problem is the following: given a graph on a fixed set of n nodes, process an online…
