In many real-life optimisation problems, there are multiple interacting components in a solution. For example, different components might specify assignments to different kinds of...

Abstract. We prove that a finitely generated group is context-free whenever its Cayleygraph has a decidable monadic second-order theory. Hence, by the seminal work of Muller and Sc...
The paper concerns graph spanners that are resistant to vertex or edge failures. Given a weighted undirected n-vertex graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, the subgraph H = (V, E ...

Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...
