For fixed integers $r,\ell \geq 0$, a graph $G$ is called an {\em $(r,\ell)$-graph} if the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. This brings us to the following natural parameterized questions:…
The problem of completing a large low rank matrix using a subset of revealed entries has received much attention in the last ten years. The main result of this paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition, stated in the language of…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called equidominating if there exists a value $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and a weight function $\omega : V \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that the total weight of a subset $D\subseteq V$ is equal to $t$ if and only if $D$ is a…
For an integer $d\geq 1$, the $d$-Cut problem is that of deciding whether a graph has an edge cut in which each vertex is adjacent to at most $d$ vertices on the opposite side of the cut. The $1$-Cut problem is the well-known Matching Cut…
We consider two matrix completion problems, in which we are given a matrix with missing entries and the task is to complete the matrix in a way that (1) minimizes the rank, or (2) minimizes the number of distinct rows. We study the…
The lower and the upper irredundance numbers of a graph $G$, denoted $ir(G)$ and $IR(G)$ respectively, are conceptually linked to domination and independence numbers and have numerous relations to other graph parameters. It is a…
The dichotomy conjecture for the parameterized embedding problem states that the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ from some class $K$ of "pattern graphs" can be embedded into a given graph $H$ (that is, is isomorphic to a…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $\mathcal{F}$ of forbidden subgraphs, we study $\mathcal{F}$-Free Edge Deletion, where the goal is to remove minimum number of edges such that the resulting graph does not contain any $F\in \mathcal{F}$ as a…
An important problem in geometric reasoning is to find the configuration of a collection of geometric bodies so as to satisfy a set of given constraints. Recently, it has been suggested that this problem can be solved efficiently by…
For an infinite class of finite graphs of unbounded size, we define a limit object, to be called a $\textit{wide limit}$, relative to some computationally restricted class of functions. The limit object is a first order Boolean-valued…
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 $H$. We prove that $H$-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete…
Given a positive integer $d$, the d-CUT is the problem of deciding if an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ has a cut $(A,B)$ such that every vertex in $A$ (resp. $B$) has at most $d$ neighbors in $B$ (resp. $A$). For $d=1$, the problem is referred…
The d-Cut problem is to decide if a graph has an edge cut such that each vertex has at most d neighbours at the opposite side of the cut. If $d=1$, we obtain the intensively studied Matching Cut problem. The d-Cut problem has been studied…
This thesis investigates the central role of homomorphism problems (structure-preserving maps) in two complementary domains: database querying over finite, graph-shaped data, and constraint solving over (potentially infinite) structures.…
A set $S\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a dominating set if each vertex has a neighbor in $S$ or belongs to $S$. Dominating Set is the problem of deciding, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, if $G$ has a dominating set of size…
In $d$-Scattered Set we are given an (edge-weighted) graph and are asked to select at least $k$ vertices, so that the distance between any pair is at least $d$, thus generalizing Independent Set. We provide upper and lower bounds on the…
The boxicity of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an intersection model of axis-aligned $d$-dimensional boxes. Boxicity, the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ has boxicity at most $d$, is NP-complete for…
Given a finite directed graph with $n$ vertices, we define a metric $d_G$ on $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$ elements. The weight of a word is defined as the number of vertices that can be reached by a…

In the field of parameterized complexity theory, the study of graph width measures has been intimately connected with the development of width-based model checking algorithms for combinatorial properties on graphs. In this work, we…
