Aslam presents an algorithm he claims will count the number of perfect matchings in any incomplete bipartite graph with an algorithm in the function-computing version of NC, which is itself a subset of FP. Counting perfect matchings is…
In this paper, we address the problem of finding a correspondence, or matching, between the functions of two programs in binary form, which is one of the most common task in binary diffing. We introduce a new formulation of this problem as…
A tiling (edge-to-edge) of the plane is a family of tiles that cover the plane without gaps or overlaps. Vertex figure of a vertex in a tiling to be the union of all edges incident to that vertex. A tiling is $k$-vertex-homogeneous if any…
Let $A$ and $B$ be two point sets in the plane of sizes $r$ and $n$ respectively (assume $r \leq n$), and let $k$ be a parameter. A matching between $A$ and $B$ is a family of pairs in $A \times B$ so that any point of $A \cup B$ appears in…
Two plane drawings of graphs on the same set of points are called disjoint compatible if their union is plane and they do not have an edge in common. Let $S$ be a convex point set of $2n \geq 10$ points and let $\mathcal{H}$ be a family of…
In this paper we focus on the map matching problem where the goal is to find a path through a planar graph such that the path through the vertices closely matches a given polygonal curve. The map matching problem is usually approached with…
An instance of a strongly stable matching problem (SSMP) is an undirected bipartite graph $G=(A \cup B, E)$, with an adjacency list of each vertex being a linearly ordered list of ties, which are subsets of vertices equally good for a given…
This paper introduces the \emph{$d$-distance matching problem}, in which we are given a bipartite graph $G=(S,T;E)$ with $S=\{s_1,\dots,s_n\}$, a weight function on the edges and an integer $d\in\mathbb Z_+$. The goal is to find a maximum…
Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…
We consider the computational complexity of reconfiguration problems, in which one is given two combinatorial configurations satisfying some constraints, and is asked to transform one into the other using elementary transformations, while…
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…
For both triangulations of point sets and simple polygons, it is known that determining the flip distance between two triangulations is an NP-hard problem. To gain more insight into flips of triangulations and to characterize "where edges…
In process mining, alignments quantify the degree of deviation between an observed event trace and a business process model and constitute the most important conformance checking technique. We study the algorithmic complexity of computing…
An instance of the super-stable matching problem with incomplete lists and ties is an undirected bipartite graph $G = (A \cup B, E)$, with an adjacency list being a linearly ordered list of ties. Ties are subsets of vertices equally good…
A triangulation of a planar point set S is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set S. In the minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) problem, we are looking for a triangulation of a given point set that minimizes the sum of the edge…
Graph matching is the process of computing the similarity between two graphs. Depending on the requirement, it can be exact or inexact. Exact graph matching requires a strict correspondence between nodes of two graphs, whereas inexact…
Given a small polygon S, a big simple polygon B and a positive integer k, it is shown to be NP-hard to determine whether k copies of the small polygon (allowing translation and rotation) can be placed in the big polygon without overlap.…
A (complete) matching of the cells of a triangulated manifold can be thought as a combinatorial or discrete version of a nonsingular vector field. We give several methods for constructing such matchings.
The (Perfect) Matching Cut problem is to decide if a connected graph has a (perfect) matching that is also an edge cut. The Disconnected Perfect Matching problem is to decide if a connected graph has a perfect matching that contains a…
Given two sets $S$ and $T$ of points in the plane, of total size $n$, a {many-to-many} matching between $S$ and $T$ is a set of pairs $(p,q)$ such that $p\in S$, $q\in T$ and for each $r\in S\cup T$, $r$ appears in at least one such pair.…
