Editing a graph into a disjoint union of clusters is a standard optimization task in graph-based data clustering. Here, complementing classic work where the clusters shall be cliques, we focus on clusters that shall be 2-clubs, that is,…

A topological graph is $k$-quasi-planar if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A 20-year-old conjecture asserts that for every fixed $k$, the maximum number of edges in a $k$-quasi-planar graph on $n$ vertices is $O(n)$. Fox…

The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most $k$ of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Operations Research Letters, 2004) gave a $\BigOh(4^kkmn)$…

The line graph of a graph $G$ is the graph $L(G)$ whose vertex set is the edge set of $G$ and there is an edge between $e,f\in E(G)$ if $e$ and $f$ share an endpoint in $G$. A graph is called line graph if it is a line graph of some graph.…
