A treedepth decomposition of an undirected graph $G$ is a rooted forest $F$ on the vertex set of $G$ such that every edge $uv\in E(G)$ is in ancestor-descendant relationship in $F$. Given a weight function $w\colon V(G)\rightarrow…

We consider the $0$-Extension problem, where we are given an undirected graph $\mathcal{G}=(V,E)$ equipped with non-negative edge weights $w:E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$, a collection $ T=\{ t_1,\ldots,t_k\}\subseteq V$ of $k$ special…

We study the Partial Degree Bounded Edge Packing (PDBEP) problem introduced in [5] by Zhang. They have shown that this problem is NP-Hard even for uniform degree constraint. They also presented approximation algorithms for the case when all…

Tree-decompositions and treewidth are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The "spread" of a tree-decomposition is the minimum integer $s$ such that every vertex lies in at most $s$ bags. A…

Finding the exact integrality gap $\alpha$ for the LP relaxation of the 2-edge-connected spanning multigraph problem (2EC) is closely related to the same problem for the Held-Karp relaxation of the metric traveling salesman problem (TSP).…

The Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) is: given a connected graph $G=(V,{\cal E})$ and an edge set $E$ on $V$ find a minimum size subset of edges $F \subseteq E$ such that $(V,{\cal E} \cup F)$ is $2$-edge-connected. In the conference version…

We give a 2-approximation algorithm for Non-Uniform Sparsest Cut that runs in time $n^{O(k)}$, where $k$ is the treewidth of the graph. This improves on the previous $2^{2^k}$-approximation in time $\poly(n) 2^{O(k)}$ due to Chlamt\'a\v{c}…

Recent research revealed the existence of gaps in the complexity landscape of locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. For example, the deterministic round complexity of any LCL problem on…

Given an undirected graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, the $k$-Leaf Spanning Tree ($k$-LST) problem asks if $G$ contains a spanning tree with at least $k$ leaves. This problem has been extensively studied over the past three decades. In 2000,…

Updating and querying on a range is a classical algorithmic problem with a multitude of applications. The Segment Tree data structure is particularly notable in handling the range query and update operations. A Segment Tree divides the…

In this paper, we consider the Uniform Cost-Distance Steiner Tree Problem in metric spaces, a generalization of the well-known Steiner tree problem. Cost-distance Steiner trees minimize the sum of the total length and the weighted path…

We present a class of linear programming approximations for constrained optimization problems. In the case of mixed-integer polynomial optimization problems, if the intersection graph of the constraints has bounded tree-width our…

In the k-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem we are given a graph (V, E) and costs for each edge, and want to find a minimum-cost subset F of E such that (V, F) is k-edge-connected. We show there is a constant eps > 0 so that for all k…

We give the first non-trivial fully dynamic probabilistic tree embedding algorithm for weighted graphs undergoing edge insertions and deletions. We obtain a trade-off between amortized update time and expected stretch against an oblivious…

We study the online multi-level aggregation problem with deadlines (MLAP-D) introduced by Bienkowski et al. (ESA 2016, OR 2020). In this problem, requests arrive over time at the vertices of a given vertex-weighted tree, and each request…

In this paper we consider the problem of connected edge searching of weighted trees. It is shown that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for finding optimal connected search strategy for bounded degree trees with arbitrary weights on…

We present approximation algorithms for the following NP-hard optimization problems related to bottleneck spanning trees in metric spaces. 1. The disjoint bottleneck spanning tree problem: Given $n$ pairs of points in a metric space, find…

By a well known result the treewidth of k-outerplanar graphs is at most 3k-1. This paper gives, besides a rigorous proof of this fact, an algorithmic implementation of the proof, i.e. it is shown that, given a k-outerplanar graph G, a tree…

We present a comprehensive classical and parameterized complexity analysis of decision tree pruning operations, extending recent research on the complexity of learning small decision trees. Thereby, we offer new insights into the…

We introduce tree dimension and its leveled variant in order to measure the complexity of leaf sets in binary trees. We then provide a tight upper bound on the size of such sets using leveled tree dimension. This, in turn, implies both the…
