Introduced the quantitative measure of the structural complexity of the graph (complex network, etc.) based on a procedure similar to the renormalization process, considering the difference between actual and averaged graph structures on…
Color coding is an algorithmic technique used in parameterized complexity theory to detect "small" structures inside graphs. The idea is to derandomize algorithms that first randomly color a graph and then search for an easily-detectable,…
An enumeration kernel as defined by Creignou et al. [Theory Comput. Syst. 2017] for a parameterized enumeration problem consists of an algorithm that transforms each instance into one whose size is bounded by the parameter plus a…
The maximum modularity of a graph is a parameter widely used to describe the level of clustering or community structure in a network. Determining the maximum modularity of a graph is known to be NP-complete in general, and in practice a…
Enumeration kernelization for parameterized enumeration problems was defined by Creignou et al. [Theory Comput. Syst. 2017] and was later refined by Golovach et al. [J. Comput. Syst. Sci. 2022, STACS 2021] to polynomial-delay enumeration…
Many computational problems admit fast algorithms on special inputs, however, the required properties might be quite restrictive. E.g., many graph problems can be solved much faster on interval or cographs, or on graphs of small…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, two vertices $s,t\in V$, and two integers $k,\ell$, the Short Secluded Path problem is to find a simple $s$-$t$-path with at most $k$ vertices and $\ell$ neighbors. We study the parameterized complexity of the…
Let $n$ be the size of a parameterized problem and $k$ the parameter. We present kernels for Feedback Vertex Set, Path Contraction and Cluster Editing/Deletion whose sizes are all polynomial in $k$ and that are computable in polynomial time…
We study the generalization of Correlation Clustering which incorporates fairness constraints via the notion of fairlets. The corresponding Fair Correlation Clustering problem has been studied from several perspectives to date, but has so…
Nowhere dense classes of graphs are very general classes of uniformly sparse graphs with several seemingly unrelated characterisations. From an algorithmic perspective, a characterisation of these classes in terms of uniform quasi-wideness,…
Graph is a well known data structure to represent the associated relationships in a variety of applications, e.g., data science and machine learning. Despite a wealth of existing efforts on developing graph processing systems for improving…
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…
The notion of Turing kernelization investigates whether a polynomial-time algorithm can solve an NP-hard problem, when it is aided by an oracle that can be queried for the answers to bounded-size subproblems. One of the main open problems…
For a given graph $G$, a depth-first search (DFS) tree $T$ of $G$ is an $r$-rooted spanning tree such that every edge of $G$ is either an edge of $T$ or is between a \textit{descendant} and an \textit{ancestor} in $T$. A graph $G$ together…
