Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of $n$ disks in the plane. The disk graph $G_\mathcal{D}$ for $\mathcal{D}$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $\mathcal{D}$ in which two disks are joined by an edge if and only if they intersect. The…
We study the \textsc{$\alpha$-Fixed Cardinality Graph Partitioning ($\alpha$-FCGP)} problem, the generic local graph partitioning problem introduced by Bonnet et al. [Algorithmica 2015]. In this problem, we are given a graph $G$, two…

The $H$-Free Edge Deletion problem asks, for a given graph $G$ and an integer $k$, whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ edges from $G$ to make it $H$-free, that is, not containing $H$ as an induced subgraph. The $H$-Free Edge…

Bir\'{o} et al. (1992) introduced $H$-graphs, intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a graph $H$. They are related to many classes of geometric intersection graphs, e.g., interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, split…
We study graph classes modeled by families of non-crossing (NC) connected sets. Two classic graph classes in this context are disk graphs and proper interval graphs. We focus on the cases when the sets are paths and the host is a tree…
In graph modification problems, one is given a graph G and the goal is to apply a minimum number of modification operations (such as edge deletions) to G such that the resulting graph fulfills a certain property. For example, the Cluster…
In this paper we study a variant of the shortest path problem in graphs: given a weighted graph G and vertices s and t, and given a set X of forbidden paths in G, find a shortest s-t path P such that no path in X is a subpath of P. Path P…
We study the complexity of the Graph Isomorphism problem on graph classes that are characterized by a finite number of forbidden induced subgraphs, focusing mostly on the case of two forbidden subgraphs. We show hardness results and develop…
In modern applications of graphs algorithms, where the graphs of interest are large and dynamic, it is unrealistic to assume that an input representation contains the full information of a graph being studied. Hence, it is desirable to use…
A hedge graph is a graph whose edge set has been partitioned into groups called hedges. Here we consider a generalization of the well-known \textsc{Cluster Deletion} problem, named \textsc{Hedge Cluster Deletion}. The task is to compute the…
A set $D\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a neighborhood total dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set and the subgraph of $G$ induced by the open neighborhood of $D$ has no isolated vertex. Given a graph $G$,…
