We study the parameterized complexity of the Cograph Deletion problem, which asks whether one can delete at most $k$ edges from a graph to make it $P_4$-free. This is a well-known graph modification problem with applications in computation…

In a (parameterized) graph edge modification problem, we are given a graph $G$, an integer $k$ and a (usually well-structured) class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, and ask whether it is possible to transform $G$ into a graph $G' \in \mathcal{G}$…

We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…

Editing a graph to obtain a disjoint union of s-clubs is one of the models for correlation clustering, which seeks a partition of the vertex set of a graph so that elements of each resulting set are close enough according to some given…

The modular decomposition of a graph $G=(V,E)$ does not contain prime modules if and only if $G$ is a cograph, that is, if no quadruple of vertices induces a simple connected path $P_4$. The cograph editing problem consists in inserting…
