In the Block Graph Deletion problem, we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a positive integer $k$, and the objective is to check whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ vertices from $G$ to make it a block graph, i.e., a graph…

Let $d$-claw (or $d$-star) stand for $K_{1,d}$, the complete bipartite graph with 1 and $d\ge 1$ vertices on each part. The $d$-claw vertex deletion problem, $d$-CLAW-VD, asks for a given graph $G$ and an integer $k$ if one can delete at…

Motivated by applications in social and biological network analysis, we introduce a new form of agnostic clustering termed~\emph{motif correlation clustering}, which aims to minimize the cost of clustering errors associated with both edges…

A clique in an undirected graph G= (V, E) is a subset V' V of vertices, each pair of which is connected by an edge in E. The clique problem is an optimization problem of finding a clique of maximum size in graph. The clique problem is…

In the Dominated Cluster Deletion problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ and integers $k$ and $d$ and the question is to decide whether there exists a set of at most $k$ vertices whose removal results in a graph in which each…

We consider the problem of partitioning a graph into a non-fixed number of non-overlapping subgraphs of maximum density. The density of a partition is the sum of the densities of the subgraphs, where the density of a subgraph is its average…

Clustering is a well-known and important problem with numerous applications. The graph-based model is one of the typical cluster models. In the graph model, clusters are generally defined as cliques. However, such an approach might be too…

A monitoring edge-geodetic set of a graph is a subset $M$ of its vertices such that for every edge $e$ in the graph, deleting $e$ increases the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $M$. We study the following computational…

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 matching cut is a matching that is also an edge cut. In the problem Minimum Matching Cut, we ask for a matching cut with the minimum number of edges in the matching. We investigate the differences in complexity between Minimum Matching…

In the Hedge Cut problem, the edges of a graph are partitioned into groups called hedges, and the question is what is the minimum number of hedges to delete to disconnect the graph. Ghaffari, Karger, and Panigrahi [SODA 2017] showed that…
