Maintaining a $k$-core decomposition quickly in a dynamic graph has important applications in network analysis. The main challenge for designing efficient exact algorithms is that a single update to the graph can cause significant global…
In graph modification problems, one is given a graph G and the goal is to apply a minimum number of modification operations (such as edge deletions) to G such that the resulting graph fulfills a certain property. For example, the Cluster…
Given a static vertex-selection problem (e.g. independent set, dominating set) on a graph, we can define a corresponding temporally satisfying reconfiguration problem on a temporal graph which asks for a sequence of solutions to the…
Real-world networks are prone to breakdowns. Typically in the underlying graph $G$, besides the insertion or deletion of edges, the set of active vertices changes overtime. A vertex might work actively, or it might fail, and gets isolated…
Research of cycles through specific vertices is a central topic in graph theory. In this context, we focus on a well-studied computational problem, \textsc{$T$-Cycle}: given an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ and a set of $k$ vertices…
A graph vertex-subset problem defines which subsets of the vertices of an input graph are feasible solutions. We view a feasible solution as a set of tokens placed on the vertices of the graph. A reconfiguration variant of a vertex-subset…
We introduce a dynamic version of the NP-hard graph problem Cluster Editing. The essential point here is to take into account dynamically evolving input graphs: Having a cluster graph (that is, a disjoint union of cliques) that represents a…
In Path Set Packing, the input is an undirected graph $G$, a collection $\calp$ of simple paths in $G$, and a positive integer $k$. The problem is to decide whether there exist $k$ edge-disjoint paths in $\calp$. We study the parameterized…
Perturbed graphic matroids are binary matroids that can be obtained from a graphic matroid by adding a noise of small rank. More precisely, r-rank perturbed graphic matroid M is a binary matroid that can be represented in the form I +P,…
We develop two different methods to achieve subexponential time parameterized algorithms for problems on sparse directed graphs. We exemplify our approaches with two well studied problems. For the first problem, {\sc $k$-Leaf…
We study the parameterized complexity of a broad class of problems called "local graph partitioning problems" that includes the classical fixed cardinality problems as max k-vertex cover, k-densest subgraph, etc. By developing a technique…
Inversion of a directed graph $D$ with respect to a vertex subset $Y$ is the directed graph obtained from $D$ by reversing the direction of every arc whose endpoints both lie in $Y$. More generally, the inversion of $D$ with respect to a…
We study the Dominating set problem and Independent Set Problem for dynamic graphs in the vertex-arrival model. We say that a dynamic algorithm for one of these problems is $k$-stable when it makes at most $k$ changes to its output…
Many algorithms which exactly solve hard problems require branching on more or less complex structures in order to do their job. Those who design such algorithms often find themselves doing a meticulous analysis of numerous different cases…
In the 3-path vertex cover problem, the input is an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$. The goal is to decide whether there is a set of vertices $S$ of size at most $k$ such that every path with 3 vertices in $G$ contains at least one…
A strength of parameterized algorithmics is that each problem can be parameterized by an essentially inexhaustible set of parameters. Usually, the choice of the considered parameter is informed by the theoretical relations between…
