Editing a graph into a disjoint union of clusters is a standard optimization task in graph-based data clustering. Here, complementing classic work where the clusters shall be cliques, we focus on clusters that shall be 2-clubs, that is,…

Cluster Editing, also known as Correlation Clustering, is a well-studied graph modification problem. In this problem, one is given a graph and the task is to perform up to $k$ edge additions or deletions to transform it into a cluster…

We explore Cluster Editing and its generalization Correlation Clustering with a new operation called permissive vertex splitting which addresses finding overlapping clusters in the face of uncertain information. We determine that both…

The Cluster Editing problem seeks a transformation of a given undirected graph into a disjoint union of cliques via a minimum number of edge additions or deletions. A multi-parameterized version of the problem is studied, featuring a number…

Clustering a graph when the clusters can overlap can be seen from three different angles: We may look for cliques that cover the edges of the graph with bounded overlap, we may look to add or delete few edges to uncover the cluster…

Correlation clustering seeks a partition of the vertex set of a given graph/network into groups of closely related, or just close enough, vertices so that elements of different groups are not close to each other. The problem has been…

We study the parameterized and kernelization complexity of the s-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem, a distance-bounded generalization of Cluster Edge Deletion. Given a graph G = (V, E) and integers k and s, the goal is to delete at most k…

The classic Cluster Editing problem (also known as Correlation Clustering) asks to transform a given graph into a disjoint union of cliques (clusters) by a small number of edge modifications. When applied to vertex-colored graphs (the…

We introduce the s-Plex Cluster Vertex Deletion problem. Like the Cluster Vertex Deletion problem, it is NP-hard and motivated by graph-based data clustering. While the task in Cluster Vertex Deletion is to delete vertices from a graph so…

The BiCluster Editing problem aims at editing a given bipartite graph into a disjoint union of bicliques via a minimum number of edge deletion or addition operations. As a graph-based model for data clustering, the problem aims at a…

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…
