Set packing is a fundamental problem that generalises some well-known combinatorial optimization problems and knows a lot of applications. It is equivalent to hypergraph matching and it is strongly related to the maximum independent set…
In a reconfiguration problem, given a problem and two feasible solutions of the problem, the task is to find a sequence of transformations to reach from one solution to the other such that every intermediate state is also a feasible…
We consider the randomized decision tree complexity of the recursive 3-majority function. We prove a lower bound of $(1/2-\delta) \cdot 2.57143^h$ for the two-sided-error randomized decision tree complexity of evaluating height $h$ formulae…
Given a graph $G$, a cost function on the non-edges of $G$, and an integer $d$, the problem of finding a cheapest globally rigid supergraph of $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is NP-hard for $d\geq 1$. For this problem, which is a common…
In the $k$-dispersion problem, we need to select $k$ nodes of a given graph so as to maximize the minimum distance between any two chosen nodes. This can be seen as a generalization of the independent set problem, where the goal is to…
We study the weighted generalization of the edge coloring problem where the weight of each color class (matching) equals to the weight of its heaviest edge and the goal is to minimize the sum of the colors' weights. We present a…
Rank-1 modifications in k-times (k > 1) often are performed to achieve rank-k modification. We propose a rank- k modification for enhancing computational efficiency. As the first step towards a rank- k modification, an algorithm to perform…
We study the problem of augmenting a weighted graph by inserting edges of bounded total cost while minimizing the diameter of the augmented graph. Our main result is an FPT 4-approximation algorithm for the problem.
The main result of this paper is that the isomorphism for omega-automatic trees of finite height is at least has hard as second-order arithmetic and therefore not analytical. This strengthens a recent result by Hjorth, Khoussainov,…
The basic goal of survivable network design is to build a cheap network that maintains the connectivity between given sets of nodes despite the failure of a few edges/nodes. The Connectivity Augmentation Problem (CAP) is arguably one of the…
In this paper, we show that the $(3k+4)$-dimensional Weisfeiler--Leman algorithm can identify graphs of treewidth $k$ in $O(\log n)$ rounds. This improves the result of Grohe & Verbitsky (ICALP 2006), who previously established the…
We consider the parameterized version of the maximum internal spanning tree problem, which, given an $n$-vertex graph and a parameter $k$, asks for a spanning tree with at least $k$ internal vertices. Fomin et al. [J. Comput. System Sci.,…
In the \emph{$k$-Diameter-Optimally Augmenting Tree Problem} we are given a tree $T$ of $n$ vertices as input. The tree is embedded in an unknown \emph{metric} space and we have unlimited access to an oracle that, given two distinct…
In the prize-collecting Steiner forest (PCSF) problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, edge costs $\{c_e\geq 0\}_{e\in E}$, terminal pairs $\{(s_i,t_i)\}_{i=1}^k$, and penalties $\{\pi_i\}_{i=1}^k$ for each terminal pair; the…
This paper presents a linear FPT algorithm to find a tree decomposition with a 2-approximation of the treewidth with a significantly smaller exponential dependence on the treewidth. The algorithm runs in time $O(\text{poly}(k) 81^k n)$,…
We study the prize-collecting version of the Node-weighted Steiner Tree problem (NWPCST) restricted to planar graphs. We give a new primal-dual Lagrangian-multiplier-preserving (LMP) 3-approximation algorithm for planar NWPCST. We then show…
We consider minimum-cost spanning trees, both in lattice and Euclidean models, in d dimensions. For the cost of the optimum tree in a box of size L, we show that there is a correction of order L^theta, where theta < 0 is a universal…
Phylogenetic networks are directed acyclic graphs that depict the genomic evolution of related taxa. Reticulation nodes in such networks (nodes with more than one parent) represent reticulate evolutionary events, such as recombination,…
Reachability and shortest path problems are NL-complete for general graphs. They are known to be in L for graphs of tree-width 2 [JT07]. However, for graphs of tree-width larger than 2, no bound better than NL is known. In this paper, we…
We consider root-finding algorithms for random rooted trees grown by uniform attachment. Given an unlabeled copy of the tree and a target accuracy $\varepsilon > 0$, such an algorithm outputs a set of nodes that contains the root with…
