In this paper, we introduce a graph matching method that can account for constraints of arbitrary order, with arbitrary potential functions. Unlike previous decomposition approaches that rely on the graph structures, we introduce a…

Many combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as the search for a subgraph that satisfies certain properties and minimizes the total weight. We assume here that the vertices correspond to points in a metric space and can take…

The transversal rank of a hypergraph is the maximum size of its minimal hitting sets. Deciding, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge hypergraph and an integer $k$, whether the transversal rank is at least $k$ takes time $O(m^{k+1} n)$ with an…

The main result of the paper is motivated by the following two, apparently unrelated graph optimization problems: (A) as an extension of Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, characterize digraphs comprising $k$ disjoint branchings $B_i$…

A locating-dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ where each vertex not in $D$ has a unique neighborhood in $D$, and the Locating-Dominating Set problem asks if $G$ contains such a dominating set of bounded size. This…

We study the computational complexity of several problems connected with finding a maximal distance-$k$ matching of minimum cardinality or minimum weight in a given graph. We introduce the class of $k$-equimatchable graphs which is an edge…

Expander decompositions of graphs have significantly advanced the understanding of many classical graph problems and led to numerous fundamental theoretical results. However, their adoption in practice has been hindered due to their…

Cohesive subgraph discovery in a network is one of the fundamental problems and investigated for several decades. In this paper, we propose the Overlapping Cohesive Subgraphs with Minimum degree (OCSM) problem which combines three key…

The \emph{Dominating $H$-Pattern} problem generalizes the classical $k$-Dominating Set problem: for a fixed \emph{pattern} $H$ and a given graph $G$, the goal is to find an induced subgraph $S$ of $G$ such that (1) $S$ is isomorphic to $H$,…

It is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to determine the minimum number of branching vertices needed in a single-source distance-preserving subgraph of an undirected graph. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph is…

The Minimum Fill-in problem is to decide if a graph can be triangulated by adding at most k edges. Kaplan, Shamir, and Tarjan [FOCS 1994] have shown that the problem is solvable in time O(2^(O(k)) + k2 * nm) on graphs with n vertices and m…

A set of vertices in a graph forms a potential maximal clique if there exists a minimal chordal completion in which it is a maximal clique. Potential maximal cliques were first introduced as a key tool to obtain an efficient, though…

An upper dominating set is a minimal dominating set in a graph. In the \textsc{Upper Dominating Set} problem, the goal is to find an upper dominating set of maximum size. We study the complexity of parameterized algorithms for \textsc{Upper…

The success of graph neural networks (GNNs) provokes the question about explainability: ``Which fraction of the input graph is the most determinant of the prediction?'' Particularly, parametric explainers prevail in existing approaches…

We show that the problem to decide whether two (convex) polytopes, given by their vertex-facet incidences, are combinatorially isomorphic is graph isomorphism complete, even for simple or simplicial polytopes. On the other hand, we give a…

Graphical models use graphs to compactly capture stochastic dependencies amongst a collection of random variables. Inference over graphical models corresponds to finding marginal probability distributions given joint probability…

We prove a characterization of all polynomial-time computable queries on the class of interval graphs by sentences of fixed-point logic with counting. More precisely, it is shown that on the class of unordered interval graphs, any query is…

In this paper we study the dynamic versions of two basic graph problems: Minimum Dominating Set and its variant Minimum Connected Dominating Set. For those two problems, we present algorithms that maintain a solution under edge insertions…

We propose a novel algorithm for enumerating and listing all minimal cutsets of a given graph. It is known that this problem is NP-hard. We use connectivity properties of a given graph to develop an algorithm with reduced complexity for…

In the recent research of data mining, frequent structures in a sequence of graphs have been studied intensively, and one of the main concern is changing structures along a sequence of graphs that can capture dynamic properties of data. On…
