Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, two vertices $s,t\in V$, and two integers $k,\ell$, the Short Secluded Path problem is to find a simple $s$-$t$-path with at most $k$ vertices and $\ell$ neighbors. We study the parameterized complexity of the…

The transversal hypergraph problem is the task of enumerating the minimal hitting sets of a hypergraph. It is a long-standing open question whether this can be done in output-polynomial time. For hypergraphs whose solutions have bounded…

Kernelization is the standard framework to analyze preprocessing routines mathematically. Here, in terms of efficiency, we demand the preprocessing routine to run in time polynomial in the input size. However, today, various NP-complete…

A graph H is a square root of a graph G if G can be obtained from H by the addition of edges between any two vertices in H that are of distance 2 from each other. The Square Root problem is that of deciding whether a given graph admits a…

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the $H$-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exists a set of at most $k$ edges of $G$ whose deletion makes $G$ free of induced copies of $H$. Significant attention has been given to the…

The question to enumerate all inclusion-minimal connected dominating sets in a graph of order $n$ in time significantly less than $2^n$ is an open question that was asked in many places. We answer this question affirmatively, by providing…

We present an alternative way of solving the steerable kernel constraint that appears in the design of steerable equivariant convolutional neural networks. We find explicit real and complex bases which are ready to use, for different…

We show algorithms for computing representative families for matroid intersections and use them in fixed-parameter algorithms for set packing, set covering, and facility location problems with multiple matroid constraints. We complement our…

This paper studies the properties of two kinds of matroids: (a) algebraic matroids and (b) finite and infinite matroids whose ground set have some canonical symmetry, for example row and column symmetry and transposition symmetry. For (a)…

Kernelization algorithms, usually a preprocessing step before other more traditional algorithms, are very special in the sense that they return (reduced) instances, instead of final results. This characteristic excludes the freedom of…

The efficient compression of kernel matrices, for instance the off-diagonal blocks of discretized integral equations, is a crucial step in many algorithms. In this paper, we study the application of Skeletonized Interpolation to construct…

For an arbitrary undirected simple graph G with m edges, we give an algorithm with running time O(m^4 |L|^2) to generate the set L of all minimal edge dominating sets of G. For bipartite graphs we obtain a better result; we show that their…

We consider supervised learning problems within the positive-definite kernel framework, such as kernel ridge regression, kernel logistic regression or the support vector machine. With kernels leading to infinite-dimensional feature spaces,…

A fundamental theorem of Whitney from 1933 asserts that 2-connected graphs G and H are 2-isomorphic, or equivalently, their cycle matroids are isomorphic, if and only if G can be transformed into H by a series of operations called Whitney…

In a directed graph, a kernel is a subset of vertices that is both stable and absorbing. Not all digraphs have a kernel, but a theorem due to Boros and Gurvich guarantees the existence of a kernel in every clique-acyclic orientation of a…

We study the algorithmic properties of the graph class Chordal-ke, that is, graphs that can be turned into a chordal graph by adding at most k edges or, equivalently, the class of graphs of fill-in at most k. We discover that a number of…

In the last years, kernelization with structural parameters has been an active area of research within the field of parameterized complexity. As a relevant example, Gajarsk{\`y} et al. [ESA 2013] proved that every graph problem satisfying a…

In the $k$-Leaf Out-Branching and $k$-Internal Out-Branching problems we are given a directed graph $D$ with a designated root $r$ and a nonnegative integer $k$. The question is to determine the existence of an outbranching rooted at $r$…

An edge dominating set of a graph G=(V,E) is a subset M of edges in the graph such that each edge in E-M is incident with at least one edge in M. In an instance of the parameterized edge dominating set problem we are given a graph G=(V,E)…

A kernel of a directed graph is a subset of vertices that is both independent and absorbing (every vertex not in the kernel has an out-neighbour in the kernel). Not all directed graphs contain kernels, and computing a kernel or deciding…
