Given a directed, discrete-time temporal graph $G=(V,R)$, a start node $s\in V$, and $p\geq1$ objectives, the single-source multiobjective temporal shortest path problem asks, for each $v\in V$, for the set of nondominated images of…

We study the parameterized complexity of maximum temporal connected components (tccs) in temporal graphs, i.e., graphs that deterministically change over time. In a tcc, any pair of vertices must be able to reach each other via a…

A kernelization for a parameterized decision problem $\mathcal{Q}$ is a polynomial-time preprocessing algorithm that reduces any parameterized instance $(x,k)$ into an instance $(x',k')$ whose size is bounded by a function of $k$ alone and…

Graph Burning asks, given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k$, whether there exists $(b_{0},\dots,b_{k-1}) \in V^{k}$ such that every vertex in $G$ has distance at most $i$ from some $b_{i}$. This problem is known to be NP-complete even…

We study deterministic exploration by a single agent in $T$-interval-connected graphs, a standard model of dynamic networks in which, for every time window of length $T$, the intersection of the graphs within the window is connected. The…

A locating-dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ where each vertex not in $D$ has a unique neighborhood in $D$, and the Locating-Dominating Set problem asks if $G$ contains such a dominating set of bounded size. This…

A set $D\subseteq V$ is called a $k$-tuple dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ if $\left| N_G[v] \cap D \right| \geq k$ for all $v \in V$, where $N_G[v]$ denotes the closed neighborhood of $v$. A set $D \subseteq V$ is called a liar's…
