From a Zoo to a Zoology: Descriptive Complexity for Graph Polynomials
Abstract. We outline a general theory of graph polynomials which covers all the examples we found in the vast literature, in particular, the chromatic polynomial, various generaliz...

Parameterized complexity of the induced subgraph problem in directed graphs
In this paper, we consider the parameterized complexity of the following problem: Given a hereditary property P on digraphs, an input digraph D and a positive integer k, does D ha...

Vertex Cover in Graphs with Locally Few Colors
In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...

Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

The chromatic covering number of a graph
Following [1], we investigate the problem of covering a graph G with induced subgraphs G1, . . . , Gk of possibly smaller chromatic number, but such that for every vertex u of G, ...
