In the Steiner Forest problem, we are given a graph with edge lengths, and a collection of demand pairs; the goal is to find a subgraph of least total length such that each demand pair is connected in this subgraph. For over twenty years,…

Given two graphs, the graph matching problem is to align the two vertex sets so as to minimize the number of adjacency disagreements between the two graphs. The seeded graph matching problem is the graph matching problem when we are first…

The forest matrix plays a crucial role in network science, opinion dynamics, and machine learning, offering deep insights into the structure of and dynamics on networks. In this paper, we study the problem of querying entries of the forest…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, Weighted $\mathcal{F}$-Deletion is the problem for which the input is a vertex weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and the goal is to delete $S\subseteq V$ with minimum weight such that $G\setminus…

In this paper we study fair variants of MSO$_1$ definable problems parameterized by cluster vertex deletion number, i.e., the smallest number of vertices required to be removed from the graph such that what remains is a collection of…

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…

We study the problem of finding a spanning forest in an undirected, $n$-vertex multi-graph under two basic query models. One is the Linear query model which are linear measurements on the incidence vector induced by the edges; the other is…

We consider a new Steiner tree problem, called vertex-cover-weighted Steiner tree problem. This problem defines the weight of a Steiner tree as the minimum weight of vertex covers in the tree, and seeks a minimum-weight Steiner tree in a…

Random forests are a very effective and commonly used statistical method, but their full theoretical analysis is still an open problem. As a first step, simplified models such as purely random forests have been introduced, in order to shed…

We consider several problems related to packing forests in graphs. The first one is to find $k$ edge-disjoint forests in a directed graph $G$ of maximal size such that the indegree of each vertex in these forests is at most $k$. We describe…

Generalized subtour elimination constraints (GSECs) are widely used in state-of-the-art exact algorithms for vehicle routing and network design problems, as their right-hand sides often capture problem-specific feasibility conditions of…

Suppose we are given a bipartite graph that admits a perfect matching and an adversary may delete any edge from the graph with the intention of destroying all perfect matchings. We consider the task of adding a minimum cost edge-set to the…

This paper proposes a new method for interpreting and simplifying a black box model of a deep random forest (RF) using a proposed rule elimination. In deep RF, a large number of decision trees are connected to multiple layers, thereby…

The classical NP-hard feedback arc set problem (FASP) and feedback vertex set problem (FVSP) ask for a minimum set of arcs $\varepsilon \subseteq E$ or vertices $\nu \subseteq V$ whose removal $G\setminus \varepsilon$, $G\setminus \nu$…

We introduce an algorithm that performs a one-directional mesh overset of a parallel forest of octrees with another distributed mesh of unrelated partition. The forest mesh consists of several adaptively refined octrees. Individual smooth…

The Steiner Tree problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization: the goal is to connect a set $T$ of terminals in a graph $G$ by a tree of minimum size. Karpinski and Zelikovsky (1996) studied the $\delta$-dense version of…

Matchings and coverings are central topics in graph theory. The close relationship between these two has been key to many fundamental algorithmic and polyhedral results. For mixed graphs, the notion of matching forest was proposed as a…

We consider \textsc{Cliques or Trees Vertex Deletion}, which is a hybrid of two fundamental parameterized problems: \textsc{Cluster Vertex Deletion} and \textsc{Feedback Vertex Set}. In this problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ and…

We study the CONNECTED \eta-TREEDEPTH DELETION problem where the input instance is an undireted graph G = (V, E) and an integer k. The objective is to decide if G has a set S \subseteq V(G) of at most k vertices such that G - S has…

This paper studies the structure of graphs with given tree-width and excluding a fixed complete bipartite subgraph, which generalises the bounded degree setting. We give a new structural description of such graphs in terms of so-called…
