Backbone colorings for graphs: Tree and path backbones
We introduce and study backbone colorings, a variation on classical vertex colorings: Given a graph G = (V, E) and a spanning subgraph H of G (the backbone of G), a backbone color...

Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

Distinguishability of Locally Finite Trees
The distinguishing number ∆(X) of a graph X is the least positive integer n for which there exists a function f : V (X) → {0, 1, 2, · · · , n−1} such that no nonidentity ...

Computing the Tutte Polynomial in Vertex-Exponential Time
The deletion–contraction algorithm is perhaps the most popular method for computing a host of fundamental graph invariants such as the chromatic, flow, and reliability polynomi...

Orbit-counting polynomials for graphs and codes
We construct an "orbital Tutte polynomial" associated with a dual pair M and M of matrices over a principal ideal domain R and a group G of automorphisms of the row spac...
