In this paper, we devise a scheme for kernelizing, in sublinear space and polynomial time, various problems on planar graphs. The scheme exploits planarity to ensure that the resulting algorithms run in polynomial time and use O((sqrt(n) +…

In this paper we study the complexity of the following problems: Given a colored graph X=(V,E,c), compute a minimum cardinality set S of vertices such that no nontrivial automorphism of X fixes all vertices in S. A closely related problem…

There are existing standard solvers for tackling discrete optimization problems. However, in practice, it is uncommon to apply them directly to the large input space typical of this class of problems. Rather, the input is preprocessed to…

Parameterized algorithms are a very useful tool for dealing with NP-hard problems on graphs. Yet, to properly utilize parameterized algorithms it is necessary to choose the right parameter based on the type of problem and properties of the…

An identifying code in a graph $G$ is a dominating set $C$ such that the closed neighborhood of each vertex in $G$ has a distinct intersection with $C$. In 2008, Gravier et al. determined the minimum cardinality of an identifying code of…

The linear code equivalence (LCE) problem is shown to be equivalent to the point set equivalence (PSE) problem, i.e., the problem to check whether two sets of points in a projective space over a finite field differ by a linear change of…

An identifying code of a graph is a subset of its vertices such that every vertex of the graph is uniquely identified by the set of its neighbours within the code. We show a dichotomy for the size of the smallest identifying code in classes…

The $d$-Hitting Set problem is a fundamental problem in parameterized complexity, which asks whether a given hypergraph contains a vertex subset $S$ of size at most $k$ that intersects every hyperedge (i.e., $S \cap e \neq \emptyset$ for…

Given a hypergraph $H = (V,E)$, what is the smallest subset $X \subseteq V$ such that $e \cap X \neq \emptyset$ holds for all $e \in E$? This problem, known as the hitting set problem, is a basic problem in parameterized complexity theory.…

An $r$-identifying code on a graph $G$ is a set $C\subset V(G)$ such that for every vertex in $V(G)$, the intersection of the radius-$r$ closed neighborhood with $C$ is nonempty and different. Here, we provide an overview on codes for the…

We consider (closed neighbourhood) packings and their generalization in graphs called limited packings. A vertex set X in a graph G is a k-limited packing if for any vertex $v\in V(G)$, $\left|N[v] \cap X\right| \le k$, where $N[v]$ is the…
