Inclusion-based (i.e., Andersen-style) points-to analysis is a fundamental static analysis problem. The seminal work of Andersen gave a worst-case cubic $O(n^3)$ time points-to analysis algorithm for C, where $n$ is proportional to the…

We are motivated by a tantalizing open question in exact algorithms: can we detect whether an $n$-vertex directed graph $G$ has a Hamiltonian cycle in time significantly less than $2^n$? We present new randomized algorithms that improve…

A graph $G$ is {\em matching-decyclable} if it has a matching $M$ such that $G-M$ is acyclic. Deciding whether $G$ is matching-decyclable is an NP-complete problem even if $G$ is 2-connected, planar, and subcubic. In this work we present…

We show that a cubic graph $G$ of order $n$ has an induced $2$-regular subgraph of order at least a) $\frac{n-2}{4-\frac{4}{k}}$, if $G$ has no induced cycle of length more than $k$, b) $\frac{5n+6}{8}$, if $G$ has no induced cycle of…

We address the induced matching enumeration problem. An edge set $M$ is an induced matching of a graph $G =(V,E)$. The enumeration of matchings are widely studied in literature, but the induced matching has not been paid much attention. A…

The Maximum Induced Matching problem asks to find the maximum $k$ such that, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, can we find a subset of vertices $S$ of size $k$ for which every vertices $v$ in the induced graph $G[S]$ has exactly degree $1$. In this…
