Graph packing and partitioning problems have been studied in many contexts, including from the algorithmic complexity perspective. Consider the packing problem of determining whether a graph contains a spanning tree and a cycle that do not…
We study the problem of finding an acyclic orientation of an undirected graph with constrained in-degree parities specified by a subset T of vertices. An orientation is called T -odd if a vertex v has odd in-degree if and only if v P T .…
Hierarchical embedding constraints define a set of allowed cyclic orders for the edges incident to the vertices of a graph. These constraints are expressed in terms of FPQ-trees. FPQ-trees are a variant of PQ-trees that includes F-nodes in…
In this paper, we introduce the problem of finding an orientation of a given undirected graph that maximizes the burning number of the resulting directed graph. We show that the problem is polynomial-time solvable on K\H{o}nig-Egerv\'{a}ry…
A directed graph $D$ is singly connected if for every ordered pair of vertices $(s,t)$, there is at most one path from $s$ to $t$ in $D$. Graph orientation problems ask, given an undirected graph $G$, to find an orientation of the edges…
In the area of beyond-planar graphs, i.e. graphs that can be drawn with some local restrictions on the edge crossings, the recognition problem is prominent next to the density question for the different graph classes. For 1-planar graphs,…
Interdiction problems are leader-follower games in which the leader is allowed to delete a certain number of edges from the graph in order to maximally impede the follower, who is trying to solve an optimization problem on the impeded…
While orthogonal drawings have a long history, smooth orthogonal drawings have been introduced only recently. So far, only planar drawings or drawings with an arbitrary number of crossings per edge have been studied. Recently, a lot of…
We investigate when a Borel graph admits a (Borel or measurable) orientation with outdegree bounded by $k$ for various cardinals $k$. We show that for a p.m.p. graph $G$, a measurable orientation can be found when $k$ is larger than the…
Graph planning gives rise to fundamental algorithmic questions such as shortest path, traveling salesman problem, etc. A classical problem in discrete planning is to consider a weighted graph and construct a path that maximizes the sum of…
A proper labeling of a graph is an assignment of integers to some elements of a graph, which may be the vertices, the edges, or both of them, such that we obtain a proper vertex coloring via the labeling subject to some conditions. The…
We consider the problem of finding a 1-planar drawing for a general graph, where a 1-planar drawing is a drawing in which each edge participates in at most one crossing. Since this problem is known to be NP-hard we investigate the…
In this paper, we introduce tiled graphs as models of learning and maturing processes. We show how tiled graphs can combine graphs of learning spaces or antimatroids (partial hypercubes) and maturity models (total orders) to yield models of…
The Planar Contraction problem is to test whether a given graph can be made planar by using at most k edge contractions. This problem is known to be NP-complete. We show that it is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k.
We study a family of graph clustering problems where each cluster has to satisfy a certain local requirement. Formally, let $\mu$ be a function on the subsets of vertices of a graph $G$. In the $(\mu,p,q)$-PARTITION problem, the task is to…
Given a planar graph $G$ and an integer $b$, OrthogonalPlanarity is the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits an orthogonal drawing with at most $b$ bends in total. We show that OrthogonalPlanarity can be solved in polynomial time if $G$…
A graph G is prismatic if for every triangle T of G, every vertex of G not in T has a unique neighbour in T. The complement of a prismatic graph is called \emph{antiprismatic}. The complexity of colouring antiprismatic graphs is still…
We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We…
An instance of the maximum mixed graph orientation problem consists of a mixed graph and a collection of source-target vertex pairs. The objective is to orient the undirected edges of the graph so as to maximize the number of pairs that…
This paper describes several new problems and ideas concerning algebraic geometry and complexity theory. It first uses the idea of coloring graphs with elements of finite fields. This procedure then shows that graph coloring problems can be…
