Let $G$ be a graph and $D_s$ and $D_t$ be two dominating sets of $G$ of size $k$. Does there exist a sequence $\langle D_0 = D_s, D_1, \ldots, D_{\ell-1}, D_\ell = D_t \rangle$ of dominating sets of $G$ such that $D_{i+1}$ can be obtained…

In the NP-hard Edge Dominating Set problem (EDS) we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, and need to determine whether there is a set $F\subseteq E$ of at most $k$ edges that are incident with all (other) edges of $G$. It is…

Given a static vertex-selection problem (e.g. independent set, dominating set) on a graph, we can define a corresponding temporally satisfying reconfiguration problem on a temporal graph which asks for a sequence of solutions to the…

We present a parameterized dichotomy for the \textsc{$k$-Sparsest Cut} problem in weighted and unweighted versions. In particular, we show that the weighted \textsc{$k$-Sparsest Cut} problem is NP-hard for every $k\geq 3$ even on graphs…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, the Minimum Membership Dominating Set (MMDS) problem seeks to find a dominating set $S \subseteq V$ of $G$ such that for each $v \in V$, $|N[v] \cap S|$ is at most $k$. We investigate the…

We study fundamental clustering problems for incomplete data. Specifically, given a set of incomplete d-dimensional vectors (representing rows of a matrix), the goal is to complete the missing vector entries in a way that admits a…

A blocking set in a graph $G$ is a subset of vertices that intersects every maximum independent set of $G$. Let ${\sf mmbs}(G)$ be the size of a maximum (inclusion-wise) minimal blocking set of $G$. This parameter has recently played an…

The study of domination in graphs has led to a variety of domination problems studied in the literature. Most of these follow the following general framework: Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide if there is a set $S$ of $k$…

We consider the following natural graph cut problem called Critical Node Cut (CNC): Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, and two positive integers $k$ and $x$, determine whether $G$ has a set of $k$ vertices whose removal leaves $G$ with at…

Motivated by the analogous questions in graphs, we study the complexity of coloring and stable set problems in hypergraphs with forbidden substructures and bounded edge size. Letting $\nu(G)$ denote the maximum size of a matching in $H$, we…

\textsc{Densest $k$-Subgraph} is the problem to find a vertex subset $S$ of size $k$ such that the number of edges in the subgraph induced by $S$ is maximized. In this paper, we show that \textsc{Densest $k$-Subgraph} is fixed parameter…

Graph Burning asks, given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k$, whether there exists $(b_{0},\dots,b_{k-1}) \in V^{k}$ such that every vertex in $G$ has distance at most $i$ from some $b_{i}$. This problem is known to be NP-complete even…

We study computational complexity of the class of distance-constrained graph labeling problems from the fixed parameter tractability point of view. The parameters studied are neighborhood diversity and clique width. We rephrase the distance…

We consider the {\em Capacitated Domination} problem, which models a service-requirement assignment scenario and is also a generalization of the well-known {\em Dominating Set} problem. In this problem, given a graph with three parameters…

In this paper we investigate the parameterized complexity of the Maximum-Duo Preservation String Mapping Problem, the complementary of the Minimum Common String Partition Problem. We show that this problem is fixed-parameter tractable when…

For the well-known Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) we are given an undirected graph $G$ with edge costs, a set $R$ of terminal vertices, and an integer demand $d_{s,t}$ for every terminal pair $s,t\in R$. The task is to compute a…

We study the problem of deciding reconfigurability of target sets of a graph. Given a graph $G$ with vertex thresholds $\tau$, consider a dynamic process in which vertex $v$ becomes activated once at least $\tau(v)$ of its neighbors are…

Shifted combinatorial optimization is a new nonlinear optimization framework which is a broad extension of standard combinatorial optimization, involving the choice of several feasible solutions at a time. This framework captures well…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the $\mathcal{G}$-\textsc{Contraction} problem takes as an input a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to decide if there exists $F \subseteq E(G)$ of size at most $k$ such that $G/F$ belongs…

We study the dominating set reconfiguration problem with the token sliding rule. It consists, given a graph G=(V,E) and two dominating sets D_s and D_t of G, in determining if there exists a sequence S=<D_1:=D_s,...,D_l:=D_t> of dominating…
