We study the problem of learning an unknown graph via group queries on node subsets, where each query reports whether at least one edge is present among the queried nodes. In general, learning arbitrary graphs with $n$ nodes and $k$ edges…
An edge-colouring is {\em strong} if every colour class is an induced matching. In this work we give a formulae that determines either the optimal or the optimal plus one strong chromatic index of bipartite outerplanar graphs. Further, we…
Given unit execution time (UET) tasks whose precedence constraints form a directed acyclic graph (DAG), the arcs are associated with unit communication time (UCT) delays. The problem is to schedule the tasks on two processors in order to…
In the classical partial vertex cover problem, we are given a graph $G$ and two positive integers $R$ and $L$. The goal is to check whether there is a subset $V'$ of $V$ of size at most $R$, such that $V'$ covers at least $L$ edges of $G$.…
In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a double dominating set of $G$ if $S$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$ is…
We present an algorithm to test whether a given graphical degree sequence is forcibly biconnected or not and prove its correctness. The worst case run time complexity of the algorithm is shown to be exponential but still much better than…
We study a mutually enriching connection between response time analysis in real-time systems and the mixing set problem. Thereby generalizing over known results we present a new approach to the computation of response times in…
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining in polynomial time whether a given planar point set $P$ of $n$ points admits 4-connected triangulation. We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for recognizing $P$, and present…
We study the Minimum Shared Edges problem introduced by Omran et al. [Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, 2015] on planar graphs: Planar MSE asks, given a planar graph G = (V,E), two distinct vertices s,t in V , and two integers p, k,…
Algorithmic extension problems of partial graph representations such as planar graph drawings or geometric intersection representations are of growing interest in topological graph theory and graph drawing. In such an extension problem, we…
This work addresses the NP-Hard problem of acyclic directed acyclic graph (DAG) partitioning problem. The acyclic partitioning problem is defined as partitioning the vertex set of a given directed acyclic graph into disjoint and…
Given a plane geometric graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, we want to augment it so that given parity constraints of the vertex degrees are met. In other words, given a subset $R$ of the vertices, we are interested in a plane geometric supergraph…
Given a graph $G$ and two independent sets of same size, the Independent Set Reconfiguration Problem under token sliding ask whether one can, in a step by step manner, transform the first independent set into the second one. In each step we…
A finite set $P$ of points in the plane is $n$-universal with respect to a class $\mathcal{C}$ of planar graphs if every $n$-vertex graph in $\mathcal{C}$ admits a crossing-free straight-line drawing with vertices at points of $P$. For the…
We prove that if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ can be drawn in the plane such that each pair of crossing edges is independent and there is a crossing-free edge that connects their endpoints, then $G$ has $O(n)$ edges. Graphs that admit such…
Deciding the existence of an $l\times m\times n$ integer threeway table with given line-sums is NP-complete already for fixed $l=3$, but is in P with both $l,m$ fixed. Here we consider {\em huge} tables, where the variable dimension $n$ is…
We prove polynomial upper bounds of geometric Ramsey numbers of pathwidth-2 outerplanar triangulations in both convex and general cases. We also prove that the geometric Ramsey numbers of the ladder graph on $2n$ vertices are bounded by…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $n$ weighted disks in the plane, the disk coverage problem is to compute a subset of disks of smallest total weight such that the union of the disks in the subset covers all points of $P$. The…
Mainly motivated by the problem of modelling directional dependence relationships for multivariate count data in high-dimensional settings, we present a new algorithm, called learnDAG, for learning the structure of directed acyclic graphs…
Counting and uniform sampling of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from a Markov equivalence class are fundamental tasks in graphical causal analysis. In this paper, we show that these tasks can be performed in polynomial time, solving a…
