Let $G = (V, E)$ be an undirected graph and let $B \subseteq V \times V$ be a set of terminal pairs. A node/edge multicut is a subset of vertices/edges of $G$ whose removal destroys all the paths between every terminal pair in $B$. The…

Motivated by the problem of enumerating all tree decompositions of a graph, we consider in this article the problem of listing all the minimal chordal completions of a graph. In \cite{carmeli2020} (\textsc{Pods 2017}) Carmeli \emph{et al.}…

A minimal separator of a graph $G$ is a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ such that there exist vertices $a,b \in V(G) \setminus S$ with the property that $S$ separates $a$ from $b$ in $G$, but no proper subset of $S$ does. For an integer $k\ge 0$, we…

We give algorithms with running time $2^{O({\sqrt{k}\log{k}})} \cdot n^{O(1)}$ for the following problems. Given an $n$-vertex unit disk graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide whether $G$ contains (1) a path on exactly/at least $k$ vertices,…

Plotkin, Rao, and Smith (SODA'97) showed that any graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices that excludes $K_h$ as a depth $O(\ell\log n)$-minor has a separator of size $O(n/\ell + \ell h^2\log n)$ and that such a separator can be found in…

We present a family of fast pseudo-approximation algorithms for the minimum balanced vertex separator problem in a graph. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a (constant) balance parameter $c\in(0,1/2)$, where $G$…

We consider the assortment optimization problem with disjoint-cardinality constraints under two-level nested logit model. To solve this problem, we first identify a candidate set with $O(mn^2)$ assortments and show that at least one optimal…
