The s-Club problem asks, for a given undirected graph $G$, whether $G$ contains a vertex set $S$ of size at least $k$ such that $G[S]$, the subgraph of $G$ induced by $S$, has diameter at most $s$. We consider variants of $s$-Club where one…

The NP-hard 2-Club problem is, given an undirected graph G=(V,E) and l\in N, to decide whether there is a vertex set S\subseteq V of size at least l such that the induced subgraph G[S] has diameter at most two. We make progress towards a…

We study the parameterized and kernelization complexity of the s-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem, a distance-bounded generalization of Cluster Edge Deletion. Given a graph G = (V, E) and integers k and s, the goal is to delete at most k…

We study the parameterized complexity of the $s$-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem: Given a graph $G$ and two integers $s \ge 2$ and $k \ge 1$, is it possible to remove at most $k$ edges from $G$ such that each connected component of the…

In the Vertex Triangle 2-Club problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ and aim to find a maximum-vertex subgraph of $G$ that has diameter at most 2 and in which every vertex is contained in at least $\ell$ triangles in the subgraph. So…

A 2-club is a graph of diameter at most two. In the decision version of the parametrized {\sc 2-Club Cluster Edge Deletion} problem, an undirected graph $G$ is given along with an integer $k\geq 0$ as parameter, and the question is whether…

Let v(G) be the number of vertices and t(G,k) the maximum number of disjoint k-edge trees in G. In this paper we show that (a1) if G is a graph with every vertex of degree at least two and at most s, where s > 3, then t(G,2) is at least…

Finding cohesive subgraphs in a network is a well-known problem in graph theory. Several alternative formulations of cohesive subgraph have been proposed, a notable example being $s$-club, which is a subgraph where each vertex is at…

In Two-Sets Cut-Uncut, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and two terminal sets $S$ and $T$. The task is to find a minimum cut $C$ in $G$ (if there is any) separating $S$ from $T$ under the following ``uncut'' condition. In the…

For a positive integer $s$, an $s$-club in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices inducing a subgraph with diameter at most $s$. As generalizations of cliques, $s$-clubs offer a flexible model for real-world networks. This paper addresses the…

Given a simple connected undirected graph G = (V, E), a set X \subseteq V(G), and integers k and p, STEINER SUBGRAPH EXTENSION problem asks if there exists a set S \supseteq X with at most k vertices such that G[S] is p-edge-connected. This…

We study the NP-hard graph problem Collapsed k-Core where, given an undirected graph G and integers b, x, and k, we are asked to remove b vertices such that the k-core of remaining graph, that is, the (uniquely determined) largest induced…

The Subset Feedback Vertex Set problem generalizes the classical Feedback Vertex Set problem and asks, for a given undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S \subseteq V$, and an integer $k$, whether there exists a set $X$ of at most $k$ vertices…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a set $T$ of vertex pairs, and an integer $k$, Hitting Geodesic Intervals asks whether there is a set $S \subseteq V$ of size at most $k$ such that for each terminal pair $\{u,v\} \in T$, the set $S$ intersects at…

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

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, two vertices $s,t\in V$, and two integers $k,\ell$, the Short Secluded Path problem is to find a simple $s$-$t$-path with at most $k$ vertices and $\ell$ neighbors. We study the parameterized complexity of the…

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…

For a graph $G$, a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set of $G$ if, for any two vertices $u,v\in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $w\in S$ such that $d(w,u)\neq d(w,v)$. The Metric Dimension problem takes as input a graph $G$ on…

Editing a graph to obtain a disjoint union of s-clubs is one of the models for correlation clustering, which seeks a partition of the vertex set of a graph so that elements of each resulting set are close enough according to some given…

An important result in the study of polynomial-time preprocessing shows that there is an algorithm which given an instance (G,k) of Vertex Cover outputs an equivalent instance (G',k') in polynomial time with the guarantee that G' has at…
