A knot $K$ in a directed graph $D$ is a strongly connected component of size at least two such that there is no arc $(u,v)$ with $u \in V(K)$ and $v\notin V(K)$. Given a directed graph $D=(V,E)$, we study Knot-Free Vertex Deletion (KFVD),…
Graph clustering has been popularly studied in recent years. However, most existing graph clustering methods focus on node-level clustering, i.e., grouping nodes in a single graph into clusters. In contrast, graph-level clustering, i.e.,…
Computing efficiently a robust measure of similarity or dissimilarity between graphs is a major challenge in Pattern Recognition. The Graph Edit Distance (GED) is a flexible measure of dissimilarity between graphs which arises in…
The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…

A graph $H$ is {\em $p$-edge colorable} if there is a coloring $\psi: E(H) \rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,p\}$, such that for distinct $uv, vw \in E(H)$, we have $\psi(uv) \neq \psi(vw)$. The {\sc Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph} problem takes as…
Vertex deletion problems ask whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ vertices from a graph so that the resulting graph belongs to a specified graph class. Over the past years, the parameterized complexity of vertex deletion to a…
A matching cut is a partition of the vertex set of a graph into two sets $A$ and $B$ such that each vertex has at most one neighbor in the other side of the cut. The MATCHING CUT problem asks whether a graph has a matching cut, and has been…
A cluster graph is a graph whose every connected component is a complete graph. Given a simple undirected graph $G$, a subset of vertices inducing a cluster graph is called an independent union of cliques (IUC), and the IUC polytope…

The centrality of a vertex v in a network intuitively captures how important v is for communication in the network. The task of improving the centrality of a vertex has many applications, as a higher centrality often implies a larger impact…

We give the first $2$-approximation algorithm for the cluster vertex deletion problem. This is tight, since approximating the problem within any constant factor smaller than $2$ is UGC-hard. Our algorithm combines the previous approaches,…

We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…
