A 2-join is an edge cutset that naturally appears in decomposition of several classes of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs, such as perfect graphs and claw-free graphs. In this paper we construct combinatorial polynomial time…

We consider the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in $d$-regular bipartite graphs with $2n$ vertices and $m = nd$ edges. While the best-known algorithm for general bipartite graphs (due to Hopcroft and Karp) takes $O(m…

In the Edge Bipartization problem one is given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the question is whether $k$ edges can be deleted from $G$ so that it becomes bipartite. In 2006, Guo et al. [J. Comput. Syst. Sci.,…

We consider the problem of constructing a bipartite graph whose degrees lie in prescribed intervals. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such graphs are well-known. However, existing realization algorithms suffer from…

We study the maximum cardinality matching problem in a standard distributed setting, where the nodes $V$ of a given $n$-node network graph $G=(V,E)$ communicate over the edges $E$ in synchronous rounds. More specifically, we consider the…

Partitioning a connected graph into $k$~vertex-disjoint connected subgraphs of similar (or given) orders is a classical problem that has been intensively investigated since late seventies. Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a weight…

We consider networks of small, autonomous devices that communicate with each other wirelessly. Minimizing energy usage is an important consideration in designing algorithms for such networks, as battery life is a crucial and limited…

We solve the following problem: Can an undirected weighted graph G be parti- tioned into two non-empty induced subgraphs satisfying minimum constraints for the sum of edge weights at vertices of each subgraph? We show that this is possible…

Here we prove that counting maximum matchings in planar, bipartite graphs is #P-complete. This is somewhat surprising in the light that the number of perfect matchings in planar graphs can be computed in polynomial time. We also prove that…

Given an undirected, unweighted graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the maximum cut problem is to find a partition of the $n$ vertices into disjoint subsets $V_1$ and $V_2$ such that the number of edges between them is as large as…

For a tree decomposition $\mathcal{T}$ of a graph $G$, by $\mu(\mathcal{T})$ we denote the size of a largest induced matching in $G$ all of whose edges intersect one bag of $\mathcal{T}$. Induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$ is the…

Given $n$ weighted points (positive or negative) in $d$ dimensions, what is the axis-aligned box which maximizes the total weight of the points it contains? The best known algorithm for this problem is based on a reduction to a related…

Let $G=(U \cup V, E)$ be a bipartite graph, where $U$ represents jobs and $V$ represents machines. We study a new variant of the bipartite matching problem in which each job in $U$ can be matched to at most one machine in $V$, and the…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, let $bc(G)$ denote the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ so that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that for every graph $G$, $bc(G) \leq n…

A \emph{co-bipartite chain} graph is a co-bipartite graph in which the neighborhoods of the vertices in each clique can be linearly ordered with respect to inclusion. It is known that the maximum cut problem (MaxCut) is NP-Hard in…

The maximum matching width is a graph width parameter that is defined on a branch-decomposition over the vertex set of a graph. In this short paper, we prove that the problem of computing the maximum matching width is NP-hard.

The optimized assignment of staff is of great significance for improving the production efficiency of the society. For specific tasks, the key to optimizing staffing is personnel scheduling. The assignment problem is classical in the…

We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…

We show that given a SM instance G as input we can find a largest collection of pairwise edge-disjoint stable matchings of G in time linear in the input size. This extends two classical results: 1. The Gale-Shapley algorithm, which can find…

We study the maximum weight matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming model and in the robust communication model. Unlike many other sublinear models, in these two frameworks, there is a large gap between the guarantees of the…
