We present the first near optimal approximation schemes for the maximum weighted (uncapacitated or capacitated) $b$--matching problems for non-bipartite graphs that run in time (near) linear in the number of edges. For any…

(see paper for full abstract) Cut problems and connectivity problems on digraphs are two well-studied classes of problems from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity. After a series of papers over the last decade, we now have (almost)…

Inspired by previous work of Diaz, Petit, Serna, and Trevisan (Approximating layout problems on random graphs Discrete Mathematics, 235, 2001, 245--253), we show that several well-known graph layout problems are approximable to within a…

Graph matching, typically formulated as a Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP), seeks to establish node correspondences between two graphs. To address the NP-hardness of QAP, some existing methods adopt projection-based relaxations that embed…

We investigate the terminal-pairability problem in the case when the base graph is a complete bipartite graph, and the demand graph is a (not necessarily bipartite) multigraph on the same vertex set. In computer science, this problem is…

We propose a linear-time, single-pass, top-down algorithm for multiple testing on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where nodes represent hypotheses and edges specify a partial ordering in which hypotheses must be tested. The procedure is…

This paper presents the current state of the art on attack and defense modeling approaches that are based on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). DAGs allow for a hierarchical decomposition of complex scenarios into simple, easily understandable…

We consider the problem of computing an $(s,d)$-hypernetwork in an acyclic F-hypergraph. This is a fundamental computational problem arising in directed hypergraphs, and is a foundational step in tackling problems of reachability and…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) can be characterised as directed graphs whose strongly connected components are isolated vertices. Using this restriction on the strong components, we discover that when $m = cn$, where $m$ is the number of…

A graph $G$ with $k$ specified target vertices in vertex set is a $k$-terminal graph. The $k$-terminal reliability is the connection probability of the fixed $k$ target vertices in a $k$-terminal graph when every edge of this graph survives…

Given a graph $G$ whose edges are perfectly reliable and whose nodes each operate independently with probability $p\in[0,1],$ the node reliability of $G$ is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational…

The width $k$ of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G = (V, E)$ equals the largest number of pairwise non-reachable vertices. Computing the width dates back to Dilworth's and Fulkerson's results in the 1950s, and is doable in quadratic time in…
