Exact Algorithms for Graph Homomorphisms
Graph homomorphism, also called H-coloring, is a natural generalization of graph coloring: There is a homomorphism from a graph G to a complete graph on k vertices if and only if ...

Inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...

Finding shortest contractible and shortest separating cycles in embedded graphs
We give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a shortest contractible cycle (i.e. a closed walk without repeated vertices) in a graph embedded in a surface. This answers a question ...

Automatic Image Analysis of Histopathology Specimens Using Concave Vertex Graph
Automatic image analysis of histopathology specimens would help the early detection of blood cancer. The first step for automatic image analysis is segmentation. However, touching ...

The Maximum Common Subgraph Problem: Faster Solutions via Vertex Cover
In the maximum common subgraph (MCS) problem, we are given a pair of graphs and asked to find the largest induced subgraph common to them both. With its plethora of applications,...
