We introduce a new width parameter for matroids called decomposition width and prove that every matroid property expressible in the monadic second order logic can be computed in linear time for matroids with bounded decomposition width if…

A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph…

In this work, we introduce TreeWidzard, an engine for developing dynamic programming algorithms that decide graph-theoretic properties parameterized by treewidth and pathwidth. Besides providing a unified framework for algorithms deciding…

Solving (mixed) integer linear programs, (M)ILPs for short, is a fundamental optimization task. While hard in general, recent years have brought about vast progress for solving structurally restricted, (non-mixed) ILPs: $n$-fold, tree-fold,…

Many hard graph problems can be solved efficiently when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth, and more generally to graphs of bounded clique-width. But there is a price to be paid for this generality, exemplified by the four problems…

Understanding generalization and robustness of machine learning models fundamentally relies on assuming an appropriate metric on the data space. Identifying such a metric is particularly challenging for non-Euclidean data such as graphs.…

The induced matching width of a tree decomposition of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest induced matching $M$ of $G$, such that there exists a bag that intersects every edge in $M$. The induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$,…

The recently introduced graph parameter tree-cut width plays a similar role with respect to immersions as the graph parameter treewidth plays with respect to minors. In this paper, we provide the first algorithmic applications of tree-cut…

Phylogenetic trees and networks are leaf-labelled graphs used to model evolution. Display graphs are created by identifying common leaf labels in two or more phylogenetic trees or networks. The treewidth of such graphs is bounded as a…

We investigate two types of graph layouts, track layouts and layered path decompositions, and the relations between their associated parameters track-number and layered pathwidth. We use these two types of layouts to characterize leveled…

A tree decomposition of a graph facilitates computations by grouping vertices into bags that are interconnected in an acyclic structure, hence their importance in a plethora of problems such as query evaluation over databases and inference…

A rooted tree module (RTM) $M:=M(T,F)$ over a zero-relation algebra $\Lambda:=\mathcal KQ/\langle\rho\rangle$ over a field $\mathcal K$ is given by the data of a quiver morphism $F:T\to Q$ from a rooted tree $T$ (either with a source or a…
