We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the \textsc{Max-Cut} problem on embedded 1-planar graphs parameterized by the crossing number $k$ of the given embedding. A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with…

We consider the classical Minimum Balanced Cut problem: given a graph $G$, compute a partition of its vertices into two subsets of roughly equal volume, while minimizing the number of edges connecting the subsets. We present the first {\em…

We consider the Hypergraph-$k$-cut problem. The input consists of a hypergraph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative hyperedge-costs $c: E\rightarrow R_+$ and a positive integer $k$. The objective is to find a least-cost subset $F\subseteq E$ such…

A total weighting of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\phi$ that assigns a weight to each vertex and each edge of $G$. The vertex-sum of $v \in V(G)$ with respect to $\phi$ is $S_{\phi}(v)=\sum_{e\in E(v)}\phi(e)+\phi(v)$. A total weighting is…

In the Split Vertex Deletion problem, given a graph G and an integer k, we ask whether one can delete k vertices from the graph G to obtain a split graph (i.e., a graph, whose vertex set can be partitioned into two sets: one inducing a…

Let $G$ be a complete edge-weighted graph on $n$ vertices. To each subset of vertices of $G$ assign the cost of the minimum spanning tree of the subset as its weight. Suppose that $n$ is a multiple of some fixed positive integer $k$. The…

We introduce a variant of the multiway cut that we call the min-max connected multiway cut. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\Gamma\subseteq V$ of $t$ terminals, partition $V$ into $t$ parts such that each part is connected and contains…

Let {\cal G}=(G,w) be a positive-weighted simple finite graph, that is, let G be a simple finite graph endowed with a function w from the set of the edges of G to the set of the positive real numbers. For any subgraph G' of G, we define…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a \emph{homomorphism} from $G$ to $H$ is an edge-preserving mapping from the vertex set of $G$ to the vertex set of $H$. For a fixed graph $H$, by \textsc{Hom($H$)} we denote the computational problem which asks…

A median graph is a connected graph, such that for any three vertices $u,v,w$ there is exactly one vertex $x$ that lies simultaneously on a shortest $(u,v)$-path, a shortest $(v,w)$-path and a shortest $(w,u)$-path. Examples of median…

We study the directed global minimum vertex-cut problem: given a directed vertex-weighted graph $G$, compute a vertex-cut $(L,S,R)$ in $G$ of minimum value, which is defined to be the total weight of all vertices in $S$. The problem,…

Given a list of k source-sink pairs in an edge-weighted graph G, the minimum multicut problem consists in selecting a set of edges of minimum total weight in G, such that removing these edges leaves no path from each source to its…

For a tree decomposition $\mathcal{T}$ of a graph $G$, by $\mu(\mathcal{T})$ we denote the size of a largest induced matching in $G$ all of whose edges intersect one bag of $\mathcal{T}$. Induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$ is the…

A graph $G(V, E)$ is \emph{claw-free} if no vertex has three pairwise non-adjacent neighbours. The Maximum Weight Stable Set (MWSS) Problem in a claw-free graph is a natural generalization of the Matching Problem and has been shown to be…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs. A bijection $\phi:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ is called an isomorphism between $G$ and $H$ if $(\phi v_i)(\phi v_j)\in E(H)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E(G)$, $\forall v_i,v_j \in V(G)$. In the case that…

For a well-studied family of domination-type problems, in bounded-treewidth graphs, we investigate whether it is possible to find faster algorithms. For sets $\sigma,\rho$ of non-negative integers, a $(\sigma,\rho)$-set of a graph $G$ is a…

In the bounded-degree cut problem, we are given a multigraph $G=(V,E)$, two disjoint vertex subsets $A,B\subseteq V$, two functions $\mathrm{u}_A, \mathrm{u}_B:V\to \{0,1,\ldots,|E|\}$ on $V$, and an integer $k\geq 0$. The task is to…

We investigate the two problems of computing the union join graph as well as computing the subset graph for acyclic hypergraphs and their subclasses. In the union join graph $G$ of an acyclic hypergraph $H$, each vertex of $G$ represents a…

An elimination tree of a connected graph $G$ is a rooted tree on the vertices of $G$ obtained by choosing a root $v$ and recursing on the connected components of $G-v$ to obtain the subtrees of $v$. The graph associahedron of $G$ is a…

We consider a natural generalization of Vertex Cover: the Subset Vertex Cover problem, which is to decide for a graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $T\subseteq V$ and integer $k$, if $V$ has a subset $S$ of size at most $k$, such that $S$ contains at…
