In the family of clustering problems, we are given a set of objects (vertices of the graph), together with some observed pairwise similarities (edges). The goal is to identify clusters of similar objects by slightly modifying the graph to…
A locating-dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ where each vertex not in $D$ has a unique neighborhood in $D$, and the Locating-Dominating Set problem asks if $G$ contains such a dominating set of bounded size. This…
In the {\sc Cluster Deletion} problem the goal is to remove the minimum number of edges of a given graph, such that every connected component of the resulting graph constitutes a clique. It is known that the decision version of {\sc Cluster…
A dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that any vertex in $G$ is in $D$ or its neighbor is in $D$. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in a graph is one of central problems in enumeration study since enumeration of…
A matching cut is a partition of the vertex set of a graph into two sets $A$ and $B$ such that each vertex has at most one neighbor in the other side of the cut. The MATCHING CUT problem asks whether a graph has a matching cut, and has been…
For a class of graphs $\mathcal{P}$, the Bounded $\mathcal{P}$-Block Vertex Deletion problem asks, given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and positive integers $k$ and $d$, whether there is a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that each block…
Fully dynamic graph is a data structure that (1) supports edge insertions and deletions and (2) answers problem specific queries. The time complexity of (1) and (2) are referred to as the update time and the query time respectively. There…
We show that the problem k-Dominating Set and its several variants including k-Connected Dominating Set, k-Independent Dominating Set, and k-Dominating Clique, when parameterized by the solution size k, are W[1]-hard in either…
Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…
In this paper we study fair variants of MSO$_1$ definable problems parameterized by cluster vertex deletion number, i.e., the smallest number of vertices required to be removed from the graph such that what remains is a collection of…
We study {\sc Cluster Edge Modification} problems with constraints on the size of the clusters. A graph $G$ is a cluster graph if every connected component of $G$ is a clique. In a typical {\sc Cluster Edge Modification} problem such as the…
In this paper, we study two popular variants of Graph Coloring -- Dominator Coloring and CD Coloring. In both problems, we are given a graph $G$ and a natural number $\ell$ as input and the goal is to properly color the vertices with at…
Let $\Pi$ be a hereditary graph class. The problem of deletion to $\Pi$, takes as input a graph $G$ and asks for a minimum number (or a fixed integer $k$) of vertices to be deleted from $G$ so that the resulting graph belongs to $\Pi$. This…
We study the parameterized and classical complexity of two related problems on undirected graphs $G=(V,E)$. In Strong Triadic Closure we aim to label the edges in $E$ as strong and weak such that at most~$k$ edges are weak and $G$ contains…
We analyze the computational complexity of the following computational problems called Bounded-Density Edge Deletion and Bounded-Density Vertex Deletion: Given a graph $G$, a budget $k$ and a target density $\tau_\rho$, are there $k$ edges…
A balanced partition is a clustering of a graph into a given number of equal-sized parts. For instance, the Bisection problem asks to remove at most k edges in order to partition the vertices into two equal-sized parts. We prove that…
Vertex deletion problems for graphs are studied intensely in classical and parameterized complexity theory. They ask whether we can delete at most k vertices from an input graph such that the resulting graph has a certain property.…
We show that the dominating set problem parameterized by solution size is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) in graphs that do not contain the claw (K(1,3)), the complete bipartite graph on four vertices where the two parts have one and three…
We consider the $k$-Clustering problem, which is for a given multiset of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ and a nonnegative number $D$, to decide whether $X$ can be partitioned into $k$ clusters $C_1, \dots, C_k$ such that the cost…
In this work, we study the Biclique-Free Vertex Deletion problem: Given a graph $G$ and integers $k$ and $i \le j$, find a set of at most $k$ vertices that intersects every (not necessarily induced) biclique $K_{i, j}$ in $G$. This is a…
