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…
For many problems, the important instances from practice possess certain structure that one should reflect in the design of specific algorithms. As data reduction is an important and inextricable part of today's computation, we employ one…
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…
Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) aim to capture the evolving structure and timing of interactions in dynamic graphs. Although many models incorporate time through encodings or architectural design, they often compute attention over…

We study the parameterized and kernelization complexity of the s-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem, a distance-bounded generalization of Cluster Edge Deletion. Given a graph G = (V, E) and integers k and s, the goal is to delete at most k…
We prove a number of results around kernelization of problems parameterized by the size of a given vertex cover of the input graph. We provide three sets of simple general conditions characterizing problems admitting kernels of polynomial…
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…
We consider the problem of exploration of an anonymous, port-labeled, undirected graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges and diameter $D$, by a single mobile agent. Initially the agent does not know the graph topology nor any of the global…
Temporal graphs (in which edges are active at specified times) are of particular relevance for spreading processes on graphs, e.g.~the spread of disease or dissemination of information. Motivated by real-world applications, modification of…

Temporal graphs exhibit dynamic interactions between nodes over continuous time, whose topologies evolve with time elapsing. The whole temporal neighborhood of nodes reveals the varying preferences of nodes. However, previous works usually…
Community search, retrieving the cohesive subgraph which contains the query vertex, has been widely touched over the past decades. The existing studies on community search mainly focus on static networks. However, real-world networks…
