For a graph $H$, the $H$-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most $k$ edges whose deletion from the input graph $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of $H$. $H$-free Edge Completion and $H$-free Edge Editing…
We study a generalization of the classic Global Min-Cut problem, called Global Label Min-Cut (or sometimes Global Hedge Min-Cut): the edges of the input (multi)graph are labeled (or partitioned into color classes or hedges), and removing…
A vertex set $X$ of a graph $G$ is an association set if each component of $G - X$ is a clique, or a dissociation set if each component of $G - X$ is a single vertex or a single edge. Interestingly, $G - X$ is then precisely a graph…
A disconnected cut of a connected graph is a vertex cut that itself also induces a disconnected subgraph. The decision problem whether a graph has a disconnected cut is called Disconnected Cut. This problem is closely related to several…
Subgraph complementation is an operation that toggles all adjacencies inside a selected vertex set. Given a graph \(G\) and a target class \(\mathcal{C}\), the Minimum Subgraph Complementation problem asks for a minimum-size vertex set…
The Matching Cut problem is to decide if the vertex set of a connected graph can be partitioned into two non-empty sets $B$ and $R$ such that the edges between $B$ and $R$ form a matching, that is, every vertex in $B$ has at most one…
Perfect Matching-Cut is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge-cut. We show that this problem is NP-complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for…
Graph clustering involves the task of dividing nodes into clusters, so that the edge density is higher within clusters as opposed to across clusters. A natural, classic and popular statistical setting for evaluating solutions to this…
The problems Cluster Vertex Deletion (or Cluster-VD) and its generalization s-Club Cluster Vertex Deletion (or s-Club-VD, for any integer s>= 1), have been introduced with the aim of detecting highly-connected parts in complex systems.…
Finding cohesive subgraphs in a network is a well-known problem in graph theory. Several alternative formulations of cohesive subgraph have been proposed, a notable example being $s$-club, which is a subgraph where each vertex is at…
We consider the densest $k$-subgraph problem, which seeks to identify the $k$-node subgraph of a given input graph with maximum number of edges. This problem is well-known to be NP-hard, by reduction to the maximum clique problem. We…
The presented material is devoted to the equivalent conversion from the vertex graphs to the edge graphs. We suggest that the proved theorems solve the problem of the isomorphism of graphs, the problem of the graph's enumeration with the…
In the Online Delayed Connected H-Node-Deletion Problem, an unweighted graph is revealed vertex by vertex and it must remain free of any induced copies of a specific connected induced forbidden subgraph H at each point in time. To achieve…
We study Steiner Forest on $H$-subgraph-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain some fixed graph $H$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. We are motivated by a recent framework that completely characterizes the complexity of…
Let $H$ be a fixed undirected graph on $k$ vertices. The $H$-hitting set problem asks for deleting a minimum number of vertices from a given graph $G$ in such a way that the resulting graph has no copies of $H$ as a subgraph. This problem…
For a fixed graph $H$, the $H$-free-editing problem asks whether we can modify a given graph $G$ by adding or deleting at most $k$ edges such that the resulting graph does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph. The problem is known to be…
Let $S=\{K_{1,3},K_3,P_4\}$ be the set of connected graphs of size 3. We study the problem of partitioning the edge set of a graph $G$ into graphs taken from any non-empty $S'\subseteq S$. The problem is known to be NP-complete for any…
Chordal graphs form one of the most studied graph classes. Several graph problems that are NP-hard in general become solvable in polynomial time on chordal graphs, whereas many others remain NP-hard. For a large group of problems among the…
A geometric intersection graph is constructed over a set of geometric objects, where each vertex represents a distinct object and an edge connects two vertices if and only if the corresponding objects intersect. We examine the problem of…
Multiple interval graphs are variants of interval graphs where instead of a single interval, each vertex is assigned a set of intervals on the real line. We study the complexity of the MAXIMUM CLIQUE problem in several classes of multiple…
