There is substantial literature dealing with fixed parameter algorithms for the dominating set problem on various families of graphs. In this paper, we give a $k^{O(dk)} n$ time algorithm for finding a dominating set of size at most $k$ in…

For a class $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, #Sub$(\mathcal{H})$ is the counting problem that, given a graph $H\in \mathcal{H}$ and an arbitrary graph $G$, asks for the number of subgraphs of $G$ isomorphic to $H$. It is known that if $\mathcal{H}$…

Counting the number of small patterns is a central task in network analysis. While this problem is well studied for graphs, many real-world datasets are naturally modeled as hypergraphs, motivating the need for efficient hypergraph motif…

We revisit the classic problem of estimating the degree distribution moments of an undirected graph. Consider an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, and define (for $s > 0$) $\mu_s = \frac{1}{n}\cdot\sum_{v \in V} d^s_v$. Our aim…

We consider the problem of counting 4-cycles ($C_4$) in an undirected graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and $m$ edges (in bipartite graphs, 4-cycles are also often referred to as $\textit{butterflies}$). Most recently, Wang et al. (2019, 2022)…

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 popular way to define or characterize graph classes is via forbidden subgraphs or forbidden minors. These characterizations play a key role in graph theory, but they rarely lead to efficient algorithms to recognize these classes. In…

In this paper, we introduce a generalization of graphlets to heterogeneous networks called typed graphlets. Informally, typed graphlets are small typed induced subgraphs. Typed graphlets generalize graphlets to rich heterogeneous networks…

We show that the VC-dimension of a graph can be computed in time $n^{\log d+1} d^{O(d)}$, where $d$ is the degeneracy of the input graph. The core idea of our algorithm is a data structure to efficiently query the number of vertices that…
