A fundamental graph problem is to recognize whether the vertex set of a graph $G$ can be bipartitioned into sets $A$ and $B$ such that $G[A]$ and $G[B]$ satisfy properties $\Pi_A$ and $\Pi_B$, respectively. This so-called…

Let us be given two graphs $\Gamma_1$, $\Gamma_2$ of $n$ vertices. Are they isomorphic? If they are, the set of isomorphisms from $\Gamma_1$ to $\Gamma_2$ can be identified with a coset $H\cdot\pi$ inside the symmetric group on $n$…

Schaefer's theorem is a complexity classification result for so-called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: it states that every Boolean constraint satisfaction problem is either contained in one out of six classes and can be solved in…

Hitting Set is a classic problem in combinatorial optimization. Its input consists of a set system F over a finite universe U and an integer t; the question is whether there is a set of t elements that intersects every set in F. The Hitting…

For a fixed set ${\cal H}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is ${\cal H}$-subgraph-free if $G$ does not contain any $H \in {\cal H}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. A recently proposed framework gives a complete classification on ${\cal…

We provide a comprehensive reply to the comment written by Stefan Boettcher [arXiv:2210.00623] and argue that the comment singles out one particular non-representative example problem, entirely focusing on the maximum cut problem (MaxCut)…

The Surjective Homomorphism problem is to test whether a given graph G called the guest graph allows a vertex-surjective homomorphism to some other given graph H called the host graph. The bijective and injective homomorphism problems can…

The independent set on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of $V$ such that no two vertices in the subset have an edge between them. The MIS problem on $G$ seeks to identify an independent set with maximum cardinality, i.e. maximum independent…

Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…

Let $G$ be a group. The prime index graph of $G$, denoted by $\Pi(G)$, is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all subgroups of $G$ and two distinct comparable vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if the index of $H$ in $K$ or…

For many popular graph metric sparsifiers, such as spanners, emulators, and preservers, simple and elegant greedy algorithms are known that achieve state-of-the-art or existentially optimal tradeoffs between size and quality. The goal of…

Subdividing an edge $uv$ in a graph replaces it by a path $u w v$ with one new vertex. For a graph $H$, the \textsc{$H$-free Subdivision} problem asks whether, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, one can destroy all induced copies of $H$…

Given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, a subset feedback vertex set $X$ is a set of the vertices of $G$ such that the graph induced by $V \setminus X$ has no cycle containing a vertex of $S$. The \textsc{Subset…

A \textit{maximum stable set} in a graph $G$ is a stable set of maximum cardinality. $S$ is a \textit{local maximum stable set} of $G$, and we write $S\in\Psi(G)$, if $S$ is a maximum stable set of the subgraph induced by $S\cup N(S)$,…

In this paper we present a greedy algorithm for solving the problem of the maximum partitioning of graphs with supply and demand (MPGSD). The goal of the method is to solve the MPGSD for large graphs in a reasonable time limit. This is done…

S is a local maximum stable set of a graph G, if the set S is a maximum stable set of the subgraph induced by its closed neighborhood. In (Levit, Mandrescu, 2002) we have proved that the family of all local maximum stable sets is a greedoid…

The exponential-time hypothesis (ETH) states that 3-SAT is not solvable in subexponential time, i.e. not solvable in O(c^n) time for arbitrary c > 1, where n denotes the number of variables. Problems like k-SAT can be viewed as special…

We study the computational complexity of the map redistricting problem (gerrymandering). Mathematically, the electoral district designer (gerrymanderer) attempts to partition a weighted graph into $k$ connected components (districts) such…

${ NP}$-complete problem "Hamiltonian cycle"\ for graph $G=(V,E)$ is extended to the "Hamiltonian Complement of the Graph"\ problem of finding the minimal cardinality set $H$ containing additional edges so that graph $G=(V,E\cup H)$ is…

We investigate a fundamental vertex-deletion problem called (Induced) Subgraph Hitting: given a graph $G$ and a set $\mathcal{F}$ of forbidden graphs, the goal is to compute a minimum-sized set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that $G-S$ does…
