The Traveling Tournament Problem (TTP-$k$) is a well-known benchmark problem in sports scheduling, which asks us to design a double round-robin schedule such that each pair of teams plays one game in each other's home venue, no pair of…

Most transportation networks are inherently temporal: Connections (e.g. flights, train runs) are only available at certain, scheduled times. When transporting passengers or commodities, this fact must be considered for the the planning of…

The P versus NP problem asks whether every language verifiable in polynomial time can also be decided in deterministic polynomial time. In this paper, we present a constructive proof that P = NP by introducing a universal, graph-based…

This research considers Bayesian decision-analytic approaches toward the traversal of an uncertain graph. Namely, a traveler progresses over a graph in which rewards are gained upon a node's first visit and costs are incurred for every edge…

In this paper we study a property of time-dependent graphs, dubbed path ranking invariance. Broadly speaking, a time-dependent graph is path ranking invariant if the ordering of its paths (w.r.t. travel time) is independent of the start…

The orientation completion problem for a class of oriented graphs asks whether a given partially oriented graph can be completed to an oriented graph in the class by orienting the unoriented edges of the partially oriented graph.…

Given a graph with edge costs and vertex profits and given a budget B, the Orienteering Problem asks for a walk of cost at most B of maximum profit. Additionally, each profit may be given with a time window within it can be collected by the…

We show that the Temporal Graph Exploration Problem is NP-complete, even when the underlying graph has pathwidth 2 and at each time step, the current graph is connected.

In public transport networks disruptions may occur and lead to travel delays. It is thus interesting to determine whether a traveler can be resilient to delays that occur unexpectedly, ensuring that they can reach their destination in time…

We consider a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the $k$-fixed-endpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short, on interval graphs. Given a graph $G$ and a subset $\mathcal{T}$ of $k$ vertices of $V(G)$, a $k$-fixed-endpoint path…

We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvatal and Erdos. We show that in the (m:b) clique game played on K_{N}, the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a K_{q} for q = (m/(log_{2}(b +…

In the Travelling Salesman Problem, every vertex of an edge-weighted graph has to be visited by an agent who traverses the edges of the graph. In this problem, it is usually assumed that the costs of each edge are given in advance, making…

We consider a patrolling game on a graph recently introduced by Alpern et al. (2011) where the Patroller wins if he is at the attacked node while the attack is taking place. This paper studies the periodic patrolling game in the case that…
