The \emph{$r$-neighbourhood complexity} of a graph $G$ is the function counting, for a given integer $k$, the largest possible number, over all vertex-subsets $A$ of size $k$, of subsets of $A$ realized as the intersection between the…

A tree-packing is a collection of spanning trees of a graph. It has been a useful tool for computing the minimum cut in static, dynamic, and distributed settings. In particular, [Thorup, Comb. 2007] used them to obtain his dynamic min-cut…

Arising from structural graph theory, treewidth has become a focus of study in fixed-parameter tractable algorithms in various communities including combinatorics, integer-linear programming, and numerical analysis. Many NP-hard problems…

$H$-Packing is the problem of finding a maximum number of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in a given graph $G$. $H$-Partition is the special case of finding a set of vertex-disjoint copies that cover each vertex of $G$ exactly once. Our goal…

Dynamic programming on various graph decompositions is one of the most fundamental techniques used in parameterized complexity. Unfortunately, even if we consider concepts as simple as path or tree decompositions, such dynamic programming…

In the problem (Unweighted) Max-Cut we are given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and asked for a set $S \subseteq V$ such that the number of edges from $S$ to $V \setminus S$ is maximal. In this paper we consider an even harder problem: (Weighted)…

Let tw(G) denote the treewidth of graph G. Given a graph G and a positive integer k such that tw(G) <= k + 1, we are to decide if tw(G) <= k. We give a certifying algorithm RTW ("R" for recursive) for this task: it returns one or more…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and an integer $k$, the Minimum Membership Dominating Set problem asks to compute a set $S \subseteq V$ such that for each $v \in V$, $1 \leq |N[v] \cap S| \leq k$. The problem is known to be NP-complete even on…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a positive integer $t\geq2$, the task in the vertex cover $P_t$ ($VCP_t$) problem is to find a minimum subset of vertices $F\subseteq V$ such that every path of order $t$ in $G$ contains at least one vertex from…

We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean-payoff property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.…

We give an algorithm that takes as input an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and an integer $k$, runs in time $2^{O(k^2)} n^{O(1)}$, and outputs a tree decomposition of $G$ of width at most $k$, if such a decomposition exists. This resolves the…

Reachability is the problem of deciding whether there is a path from one vertex to the other in the graph. Standard graph traversal algorithms such as DFS and BFS take linear time to decide reachability however their space complexity is…

In the PATH COVER problem, one asks to cover the vertices of a graph using the smallest possible number of (not necessarily disjoint) paths. While the variant where the paths need to be pairwise vertex-disjoint, which we call PATH…

Parameterized complexity seeks to use input structure to obtain faster algorithms for NP-hard problems. This has been most successful for graphs of low treewidth: Many problems admit fast algorithms relative to treewidth and many of them…

We prove an approximate max-multiflow min-multicut theorem for bounded treewidth graphs. In particular, we show the following: Given a treewidth-$r$ graph, there exists a (fractional) multicommodity flow of value $f$, and a multicut of…

Over the past decade, we witness an increasing amount of interest in the design of exact exponential-time and parameterized algorithms for problems in Graph Drawing. Unfortunately, we still lack knowledge of general methods to develop such…

We consider the replica placement problem: given a graph with clients and nodes, place replicas on a minimum set of nodes to serve all the clients; each client is associated with a request and maximum distance that it can travel to get…

Given an undirected graph $G$ whose edge weights change over $s$ time slots, the sub-tree scheduling for wireless sensor networks with partial coverage asks to partition the vertices of $G$ in $s$ non-empty trees such that the total weight…

The leafage of a chordal graph G is the minimum integer l such that G can be realized as an intersection graph of subtrees of a tree with l leaves. We consider structural parameterization by the leafage of classical domination and cut…

The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…
