A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected graph is a set of vertices that contains at least one vertex of each cycle of the graph. The feedback vertex set problem consists of constructing a FVS of size less than a certain given value.…
An undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of undirected edges between vertices. Such a graph may contain an abundant number of cycles, then a feedback vertex set (FVS) is a set of vertices intersecting with each of these…
A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected graph contains vertices from every cycle of this graph. Constructing a FVS of sufficiently small cardinality is very difficult in the worst cases, but for random graphs this problem can be…
A minimum dominating set for a digraph (directed graph) is a smallest set of vertices such that each vertex either belongs to this set or has at least one parent vertex in this set. We solve this hard combinatorial optimization problem…
The minimum feedback arc set problem asks to delete a minimum number of arcs (directed edges) from a digraph (directed graph) to make it free of any directed cycles. In this work we approach this fundamental cycle-constrained optimization…
The Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem takes as input a directed graph~$G$ and seeks a smallest vertex set~$S$ that hits all cycles in $G$. This is one of Karp's 21 $\mathsf{NP}$-complete problems. Resolving the parameterized…
The minimum directed feedback vertex set problem consists in finding the minimum set of vertices that should be removed in order to make a directed graph acyclic. This is a well-known NP-hard optimization problem with applications in…
The directed L-distance minimal dominating set (MDS) problem has wide practical applications in the fields of computer science and communication networks. Here, we study this problem from the perspective of purely theoretical interest. We…
Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem asks if there is a vertex set $T$ of size at most $k$ that hits all cycles in the graph. The fixed-parameter tractability status of FVS in directed graphs was a…
A feedback vertex set (FVS) in a digraph is a subset of vertices whose removal makes the digraph acyclic. In other words, it hits all cycles in the digraph. Lokshtanov et al. [TALG '21] gave a factor 2 randomized approximation algorithm for…
We study reduction rules for Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) on directed graphs without long cycles. A DFVS instance without cycles longer than $d$ naturally corresponds to an instance of $d$-Hitting Set, however, enumerating all cycles…
In directed graphs, we investigate the problems of finding: 1) a minimum feedback vertex set (also called the Feedback Vertex Set problem, or MFVS), 2) a feedback vertex set inducing an acyclic graph (also called the Vertex 2-Coloring…
In graph theory, the minimum directed feedback vertex set (FVS) problem consists in identifying the smallest subsets of vertices in a directed graph whose deletion renders the directed graph acyclic. Although being known as NP-hard since…
A mixed graph is a graph with both directed and undirected edges. We present an algorithm for deciding whether a given mixed graph on $n$ vertices contains a feedback vertex set (FVS) of size at most $k$, in time $2^{O(k)}k! O(n^4)$. This…
For a graph formed by vertices and weighted edges, a generalized minimum dominating set (MDS) is a vertex set of smallest cardinality such that the summed weight of edges from each outside vertex to vertices in this set is equal to or…
We propose a method for solving statistical mechanics problems defined on sparse graphs. It extracts a small Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) from the sparse graph, converting the sparse system to a much smaller system with many-body and dense…
Given a directed graph, the Minimal Feedback Arc Set (FAS) problem asks for a minimal set of arcs which, when removed, results in an acyclic graph. Equivalently, the FAS problem asks to find an ordering of the vertices that minimizes the…
For a digraph $G$, a set $F\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a feedback vertex set (FVS) if $G-F$ is acyclic. The problem of finding a smallest FVS is NP-hard. We present a matrix scaling technique for finding feedback vertex sets in…
The Directed Feedback Vertex Set problem (DFVS) asks whether it is possible to remove at most $k$ vertices from a directed graph to make it acyclic. Whether DFVS is fixed-parameter tractable was a long-standing open problem in parameterized…
The L-distance (especially the 2-distance) minimal dominating set (MDS) problem is widely considered in various dominating set problems. Recently, we studied the regular dominating set problem using the cavity method and developed two…
