Boolean-width is a recently introduced graph parameter. Many problems are fixed parameter tractable when parametrized by boolean-width, for instance "Minimum Weighted Dominating Set" (MWDS) problem can be solved in $O^*(2^{3k})$ time given…

Given a plane geometric graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, we want to augment it so that given parity constraints of the vertex degrees are met. In other words, given a subset $R$ of the vertices, we are interested in a plane geometric supergraph…

Graph isomorphism problem is a known hard problem. In this paper, a novel randomized algorithm is proposed for this problem which is very simple and fast. It solves the graph isomorphism problem with running time O(n^2.373) for any pair of…

We study the classical and quantum values of one- and two-party linear games, an important class of unique games that generalizes the well-known XOR games to the case of non-binary outcomes. We introduce a ``constraint graph" associated to…

We give alternative definitions for maximum matching width, e.g. a graph $G$ has $\operatorname{mmw}(G) \leq k$ if and only if it is a subgraph of a chordal graph $H$ and for every maximal clique $X$ of $H$ there exists $A,B,C \subseteq X$…

We show that, for any graph optimization problem in which the feasible solutions can be expressed by a formula in monadic second-order logic describing sets of vertices or edges and in which the goal is to minimize the sum of the weights in…

In this paper, we design a framework to obtain efficient algorithms for several problems with a global constraint (acyclicity or connectivity) such as Connected Dominating Set, Node Weighted Steiner Tree, Maximum Induced Tree, Longest…

Reachability and shortest path problems are NL-complete for general graphs. They are known to be in L for graphs of tree-width 2 [JT07]. However, for graphs of tree-width larger than 2, no bound better than NL is known. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we study the \textsf{Planar Disjoint Paths} problem: Given an undirected planar graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a set $T$ of $k$ pairs $(s_i,t_i)_{i=1}^k$ of vertices, the goal is to find a set $\mathcal P$ of $k$ pairwise…

The domination problem and its variants represent a classical domain within algorithmic graph theory. Among these variants, the paired-domination problem holds particular prominence due to its real-world implications in security and…

In this paper, we introduce a methodology, called decomposition-based reductions, for showing the equivalence among various problems of bounded-width. First, we show that the following are equivalent for any $\alpha > 0$: * SAT can be…

Games on graphs provide the appropriate framework to study several central problems in computer science, such as the verification and synthesis of reactive systems. One of the most basic objectives for games on graphs is the liveness (or…

Parity games are infinite two-player games played on directed graphs. Parity game solvers are used in the domain of formal verification. This paper defines parametrized parity games and introduces an operation, Justify, that determines a…

The Path Contraction and Cycle Contraction problems take as input an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and an integer $k$ and determine whether one can obtain a path or a cycle, respectively, by performing at most $k$ edge…

We recently introduced the graph invariant twin-width, and showed that first-order model checking can be solved in time $f(d,k)n$ for $n$-vertex graphs given with a witness that the twin-width is at most $d$, called $d$-contraction sequence…

The complexity of the maximum common connected subgraph problem in partial $k$-trees is still not fully understood. Polynomial-time solutions are known for degree-bounded outerplanar graphs, a subclass of the partial $2$-trees. On the other…

Parameterized algorithms are a way to solve hard problems more efficiently, given that a specific parameter of the input is small. In this paper, we apply this idea to the field of answer set programming (ASP). To this end, we propose two…

Grid graphs, and, more generally, $k\times r$ grid graphs, form one of the most basic classes of geometric graphs. Over the past few decades, a large body of works studied the (in)tractability of various computational problems on grid…

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 $G$…

Baker devised a technique to obtain approximation schemes for many optimization problems restricted to planar graphs; her technique was later extended to more general graph classes. In particular, using the Baker's technique and the minor…
