For a class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs, the problem SUBGRAPH COMPLEMENT TO $\mathcal{G}$ asks whether one can find a subset $S$ of vertices of the input graph $G$ such that complementing the subgraph induced by $S$ in $G$ results in a graph in…

We study the following Two-Sets Cut-Uncut problem on planar graphs. Therein, one is given an undirected planar graph $G$ and two sets of vertices $S$ and $T$. The question is, what is the minimum number of edges to remove from $G$, such…

The intersection graph of a collection of trapezoids with corner points lying on two parallel lines is called a trapezoid graph. These graphs and their generalizations were applied in various fields, including modeling channel routing…

This paper will analyze several quadratic-time solvable problems, and will classify them into two classes: problems that are solvable in truly subquadratic time (that is, in time $O(n^{2-\epsilon})$ for some $\epsilon>0$) and problems that…

Given a graph class $\mathcal{H}$, the task of the $\mathcal{H}$-Square Root problem is to decide, whether an input graph $G$ has a square root $H$ from $\mathcal{H}$. We are interested in the parameterized complexity of the problem for…

A support or realization of a hypergraph $H$ is a graph $G$ on the same vertex as $H$ such that for each hyperedge of $H$ it holds that its vertices induce a connected subgraph of $G$. The NP-hard problem of finding a planar support has…

A planar orthogonal drawing of a planar 4-graph G (i.e., a planar graph with vertex-degree at most four) is a crossing-free drawing that maps each vertex of G to a distinct point of the plane and each edge of $G$ to a sequence of horizontal…

For a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{H}$, the $\mathcal{H}$-elimination distance of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of rounds needed to reduce $G$ to a member of $\mathcal{H}$ by removing one vertex from each connected component in each…

For any fixed measure $H$ that maps graphs to real numbers, the MinH problem is defined as follows: given a graph $G$, an integer $k$, and a target $\tau$, is there a set $S$ of $k$ vertices that can be deleted, so that $H(G - S)$ is at…

We consider the problem of finding an edge in a hidden undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, in a model where we only allowed queries that ask whether or not a subset of vertices contains an edge. We study the non-adaptive model…

The Sparsest Cut is a fundamental optimization problem that has been extensively studied. For planar inputs the problem is in $P$ and can be solved in $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ time if all vertex weights are $1$. Despite a significant amount of…

In this paper, we provide an algorithm for traversing geometric graphs which visits all vertices, and reports every vertex and edge exactly once. To achieve this, we combine a given geometric graph $G$ with the integer lattice, seen as a…

A geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in general position in the plane and its edges are straight line segments joining these points. In this paper we give an $O(n^2 \log n)$ algorithm to compute the number of pairs of…

A graph H is a square root of a graph G if G can be obtained from H by adding an edge between any two vertices in H that are of distance 2. The Square Root problem is that of deciding whether a given graph admits a square root. This problem…

We address the problem of testing whether a given dynamic graph is temporally connected, {\it i.e} a temporal path (also called a {\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the…

In the subgraph counting problem, we are given a input graph $G(V, E)$ and a target graph $H$; the goal is to estimate the number of occurrences of $H$ in $G$. Our focus here is on designing sublinear-time algorithms for approximately…

We study the problem of computing the diameter and the mean distance of a continuous graph, i.e., a connected graph where all points along the edges, instead of only the vertices, must be taken into account. It is known that for continuous…

In the subgraph-freeness problem, we are given a constant-size graph $H$, and wish to determine whether the network contains $H$ as a subgraph or not. The \emph{property-testing} relaxation of the problem only requires us to distinguish…

For a connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a matching $M\subseteq E$ is a matching cut of $G$ if $G-M$ is disconnected. It is known that for an integer $d$, the corresponding decision problem Matching Cut is polynomial-time solvable for graphs of…

We consider three variants of the problem of finding a maximum weight restricted $2$-matching in a subcubic graph $G$. (A $2$-matching is any subset of the edges such that each vertex is incident to at most two of its edges.) Depending on…
