Clustering is a well-known and important problem with numerous applications. The graph-based model is one of the typical cluster models. In the graph model, clusters are generally defined as cliques. However, such an approach might be too…

We study how to sparsify connectivity in graphs under a tight deletion budget. Given a graph $G$ and integers $k,x \ge 0$, Critical Node Cut (CNC) asks whether we can delete at most $k$ vertices so that the number of remaining unordered…

An induced subgraph is called an induced matching if each vertex is a degree-1 vertex in the subgraph. The \textsc{Almost Induced Matching} problem asks whether we can delete at most $k$ vertices from the input graph such that the remaining…

For fixed integers $r,\ell \geq 0$, a graph $G$ is called an {\em $(r,\ell)$-graph} if the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. This brings us to the following natural parameterized questions:…
