In the Trivially Perfect Editing problem one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and seeks to add or delete at most $k$ edges in $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect graph. In a recent work, Dumas, Perez and Todinca…
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…
In an edge modification problem, we are asked to modify at most $k$ edges to a given graph to make the graph satisfy a certain property. Depending on the operations allowed, we have the completion problems and the edge deletion problems. A…
We give a kernel with $O(k^7)$ vertices for Trivially Perfect Editing, the problem of adding or removing at most $k$ edges in order to make a given graph trivially perfect. This answers in affirmative an open question posed by Nastos and…
Given a bipartite graph $G$, the \textsc{Bicluster Editing} problem asks for the minimum number of edges to insert or delete in $G$ so that every connected component is a bicluster, i.e. a complete bipartite graph. This has several…
In a (parameterized) graph edge modification problem, we are given a graph $G$, an integer $k$ and a (usually well-structured) class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, and ask whether it is possible to transform $G$ into a graph $G' \in \mathcal{G}$…
We study the computational complexity of the graph modification problems Threshold Editing and Chain Editing, adding and deleting as few edges as possible to transform the input into a threshold (or chain) graph. In this article, we show…
In the $K_t$-free edge deletion problem, the input is a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to decide whether there is a set of at most $k$ edges of $G$ whose removal results a graph with no clique of size $t$. In this paper we…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of the graph editing problem called Editing to a Graph with a Given Degree Sequence, where the aim is to obtain a graph with a given degree sequence \sigma by at most k vertex or edge deletions…
A graph H is a square root of a graph G if G can be obtained from H by the addition of edges between any two vertices in H that are of distance 2 from each other. The Square Root problem is that of deciding whether a given graph admits a…
A diamond is a graph obtained by removing an edge from a complete graph on four vertices. A graph is diamond-free if it does not contain an induced diamond. The Diamond-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most $k$ edges…
We consider edge modification problems towards block and strictly chordal graphs, where one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and seeks to edit (add or delete) at most $k$ edges from $G$ to obtain a…

A graph G=(V,E) is a 3-leaf power iff there exists a tree T whose leaves are V and such that (u,v) is an edge iff u and v are at distance at most 3 in T. The 3-leaf power graph edge modification problems, i.e. edition (also known as the…

Cographs are graphs in which no four vertices induce a simple connected path $P_4$. Cograph editing is to find for a given graph $G = (V,E)$ a set of at most $k$ edge additions and deletions that transform $G$ into a cograph. This…
