We consider two variants, (s,z,l)-Temporal Separator and (s,z,l)-Temporal Cut, respectively, of the vertex separator and the edge cut problem in temporal graphs. The goal is to remove the minimum number of vertices (temporal edges,…
Several classical combinatorial problems have been considered and analysed on temporal graphs. Recently, a variant of Vertex Cover on temporal graphs, called MinTimelineCover, has been introduced to summarize timeline activities in social…
Logistics and transportation networks require a large amount of resources to realize necessary connections between locations and minimizing these resources is a vital aspect of planning research. Since such networks have dynamic connections…
Pairwise Compatibility Graphs (PCGs) form a tree-metric graph class that originated in phylogeny and has since attracted sustained interest in graph theory. Several natural generalizations have been proposed in order to overcome the…
A matching is a set of edges in a graph with no common endpoint. A matching M is called acyclic if the induced subgraph on the endpoints of the edges in M is acyclic. Given a graph G and an integer k, Acyclic Matching Problem seeks for an…
Finding a Steiner strongly $k$-arc-connected orientation is particularly relevant in network design and reliability, as it guarantees robust communication between a designated set of critical nodes. Kir\'aly and Lau (FOCS 2006) introduced a…
In the Disjoint Shortest Paths problem one is given a graph $G$ and a set $\mathcal{T}=\{(s_1,t_1),\dots,(s_k,t_k)\}$ of $k$ vertex pairs. The question is whether there exist vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\dots,P_k$ in $G$ so that each $P_i$…
Treewidth is a well-studied decompositional parameter to measure the tree-likeness of a graph. While the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) is known to be tractable when parameterized by the treewidth of the underlying primal graph,…
In this work we contribute to the study of the fine-grained complexity of problems parameterized by multi-clique-width, which was initiated by F\"urer [ITCS 2017] and pursued further by Chekan and Kratsch [MFCS 2023]. Multi-clique-width is…
The \textsc{Co-Path Packing} (resp., \textsc{Co-Path Set}) problem asks whether a given graph can be edited to a collection of induced paths by deleting at most $k$ vertices (resp., $k$ edges). Both are fundamental problems with significant…
Time-Dependent Constrained Path Optimization (TD-CPO) takes the following input: (i) time-dependent (TD) road network, (ii) source ($s$), (iii) destination ($d$), (iv) departure time ($t$) and, (v) budget ($\mathcal{B}$). In TD graph, each…
The \emph{linear vertex arboricity} of a graph is the smallest number of sets into which the vertices of a graph can be partitioned so that each of these sets induces a linear forest. Chaplick et al. [JoCG 2020] showed that, somewhat…
Treewidth and hypertree width have proven to be highly successful structural parameters in the context of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). When either of these parameters is bounded by a constant, then CSP becomes solvable in…
The Strongly Connected Steiner Subgraph (SCSS) problem is a well-studied network design problem that asks for a minimum subgraph that strongly connects a given set of terminals. In this paper, we present several new algorithmic and…
Modularity is a very widely used measure of the level of clustering or community structure in networks. Here we consider a recent generalisation of the definition of modularity to temporal graphs, whose edge-sets change over discrete…
Given an undirected graph $G$, a collection $\{(s_1,t_1),..., (s_k,t_k)\}$ of pairs of vertices, and an integer $p$, the Edge Multicut problem ask if there is a set $S$ of at most $p$ edges such that the removal of $S$ disconnects every…
We study spreading processes in temporal graphs, i. e., graphs whose connections change over time. These processes naturally model real-world phenomena such as infectious diseases or information flows. More precisely, we investigate how…
Path graphs are intersection graphs of paths in a tree.~In this paper we give a "6\ good characterization" of path graphs, namely, we prove that path graph membership is in $NP\cap CoNP$ without resorting to existing polynomial time…
In $(k,r)$-Center we are given a (possibly edge-weighted) graph and are asked to select at most $k$ vertices (centers), so that all other vertices are at distance at most $r$ from a center. In this paper we provide a number of tight…
Complexity of dynamical networks can arise not only from the complexity of the topological structure but also from the time evolution of the topology. In this paper, we study the synchronous motion of coupled maps in time-varying complex…
