We study the parameterized complexity of #IndSub($\Phi$), where given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to count the number of induced subgraphs on $k$ vertices that satisfy the graph property $\Phi$. Focke and Roth [STOC 2022]…

We study the computational complexity of the problem $\#\text{IndSub}(\Phi)$ of counting $k$-vertex induced subgraphs of a graph $G$ that satisfy a graph property $\Phi$. Our main result establishes an exhaustive and explicit classification…

Given a graph property $\Phi$, the problem $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ asks, on input a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, to compute the number of induced subgraphs of size $k$ in $G$ that satisfy $\Phi$. The search for explicit criteria…

Given a graph property $\Phi$, we consider the problem $\mathtt{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$, where the input is a pair of a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, and the task is to decide whether $G$ contains a $k$-edge subgraph that satisfies $\Phi$.…

We introduce a class of parameterised counting problems on graphs, p-#Induced Subgraph With Property(\Phi), which generalises a number of problems which have previously been studied. This paper focusses on the case in which \Phi defines a…

For a fixed graph property $\Phi$ and integer $k \geq 1$, consider the problem of counting the induced $k$-vertex subgraphs satisfying $\Phi$ in an input graph $G$. This problem can be solved by brute-force in time $O(n^{k})$. Under ETH, we…

We investigate the problem $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ of counting all induced subgraphs of size $k$ in a graph $G$ that satisfy a given property $\Phi$. This continues the work of Jerrum and Meeks who proved the problem to be…

We study the problem $\#\mathrm{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ of counting $k$-edge subgraphs satisfying a given graph property $\Phi$ in a large host graph $G$. Building upon the breakthrough result of Curticapean, Dell and Marx (STOC 17), we express the…

We study the problem #IndSub(P) of counting all induced subgraphs of size k in a graph G that satisfy the property P. This problem was introduced by Jerrum and Meeks and shown to be #W[1]-hard when parameterized by k for some families of…

We introduce graph motif parameters, a class of graph parameters that depend only on the frequencies of constant-size induced subgraphs. Classical works by Lov\'asz show that many interesting quantities have this form, including, for fixed…

A $k$-subcolouring of a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G) \to \{0,\ldots,k-1\}$ such that the set of vertices coloured $i$ induce a disjoint union of cliques. The subchromatic number, $\chi_{\textrm{sub}}(G)$, is the minimum $k$ such that $G$…

Given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the Secluded $\Pi$-Subgraph problem asks you to find a maximum size induced subgraph that satisfies a property $\Pi$ and has at most $k$ neighbors in the rest of the graph. This problem has…

Traditionally, graph algorithms get a single graph as input, and then they should decide if this graph satisfies a certain property $\Phi$. What happens if this question is modified in a way that we get a possibly infinite family of graphs…
