We consider the (exact, minimum) $k$-cut problem: given a graph and an integer $k$, delete a minimum-weight set of edges so that the remaining graph has at least $k$ connected components. This problem is a natural generalization of the…

We consider the Trivially Perfect Editing problem, where one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and a parameter $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and seeks to edit (add or delete) at most $k$ edges from $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect graph. The…
