We generalize the concepts of D-stability and additive D-stability of matrices. For this, we consider a family of unbounded regions defined in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (so-called LMI regions). We study the problem when the…

Finding the smallest $d$-chain with a specific $(d-1)$-boundary in a simplicial complex is known as the \textsc{Minimum Bounded Chain} (MBC$_d$) problem. The MBC$_d$ problem is NP-hard for all $d\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that it is…

Clique-width is a well-studied graph parameter owing to its use in understanding algorithmic tractability: if the clique-width of a graph class ${\cal G}$ is bounded by a constant, a wide range of problems that are NP-complete in general…

In this work we introduce the graph-theoretic notion of mendability: for each locally checkable graph problem we can define its mending radius, which captures the idea of how far one needs to modify a partial solution in order to "patch a…
