We study separating systems of the edges of a graph where each member of the separating system is a path. We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph admits a separating path system of size $O(n)$ and prove this in certain interesting special…

We investigate a structural generalisation of treewidth we call $\mathcal{A}$-blind-treewidth where $\mathcal{A}$ denotes an annotated graph class. This width parameter is defined by evaluating only the size of those bags $B$ of…

For a fixed finite collection of graphs ${\cal F}$, the ${\cal F}$-M-DELETION problem asks, given an $n$-vertex input graph $G,$ for the minimum number of vertices that intersect all minor models in $G$ of the graphs in ${\cal F}$. by…

The minimum rank of a simple graph $G$ is defined to be the smallest possible rank over all symmetric real matrices whose $ij$th entry (for $i\neq j$) is nonzero whenever $\{i,j\}$ is an edge in $G$ and is zero otherwise. Minimum rank is a…

Given a digraph with two terminal vertices $s$ and $t$ as well as a conservative cost function and several not necessarily disjoint color classes on its arc set, our goal is to find a minimum-cost subset of the arcs such that its…

An output-polynomial algorithm for the listing of minimal dominating sets in graphs is a challenging open problem and is known to be equivalent to the well-known Transversal problem which asks for an output-polynomial algorithm for listing…

The notion of resolving sets in a graph was introduced by Slater (1975) and Harary and Melter (1976) as a way of uniquely identifying every vertex in a graph. A set of vertices in a graph is a resolving set if for any pair of vertices x and…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of terminal vertices $T$ we say that a superset $S$ of $T$ is $T$-connecting if $S$ induces a connected graph, and $S$ is minimal if no strict subset of $S$ is $T$-connecting. In this paper we prove that…

We consider the minimum cut problem in undirected, weighted graphs. We give a simple algorithm to find a minimum cut that $2$-respects (cuts two edges of) a spanning tree $T$ of a graph $G$. This procedure can be used in place of the…

We study the parameterized complexity of various classic vertex-deletion problems such as Odd cycle transversal, Vertex planarization, and Chordal vertex deletion under hybrid parameterizations. Existing FPT algorithms for these problems…

The complexity of a reasoning task over a graphical model is tied to the induced width of the underlying graph. It is well-known that the conditioning (assigning values) on a subset of variables yields a subproblem of the reduced complexity…

Deletion problems are those where given a graph $G$ and a graph property $\pi$, the goal is to find a subset of edges such that after its removal the graph $G$ will satisfy the property $\pi$. Typically, we want to minimize the number of…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and an integer $k$, we study $k$-Vertex Seperator (resp. $k$-Edge Separator), where the goal is to remove the minimum number of vertices (resp. edges) such that each connected component in the resulting graph has…

A locating-dominating set in a graph G is a subset of vertices representing "detectors" which can locate an "intruder" given that each detector covers its closed neighborhood and can distinguish its own location from its neighbors. We…

Given a simple connected undirected graph G = (V, E), a set X \subseteq V(G), and integers k and p, STEINER SUBGRAPH EXTENSION problem asks if there exists a set S \supseteq X with at most k vertices such that G[S] is p-edge-connected. This…

We present a parallel algorithm for computing the minimum s-t cut in structured 3-dimensional proper order graphs arising from image segmentation problems. Proper order graphs are multi-column structures where vertices are arranged in…

Enumerating minimal transversals in a hypergraph is a notoriously hard problem. It can be reduced to enumerating minimal dominating sets in a graph, in fact even to enumerating minimal dominating sets in an incomparability graph. We provide…

A tree $t$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a spanning tree of $G$ such that the distance between pairs of vertices in the tree is at most $t$ times their distance in $G$. Deciding tree $t$-spanner admissible graphs has been proved to be tractable…

In the Disjoint Paths problem, the input is an undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a set of $k$ vertex pairs, $\{s_i,t_i\}_{i=1}^k$, and the task is to find $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths connecting $s_i$ to $t_i$. The problem was…

The classes Delay-FPT and Total-FPT recently have been introduced into parameterized complexity in order to capture the notion of efficiently solvable parameterized enumeration problems. In this paper we focus on ordered enumeration and…
