We study a general class of problems called F -Deletion problems. In an F -Deletion problem, we are asked whether a subset of at most k vertices can be deleted from a graph G such...

Abstract. This paper surveys the theory of bidimensional graph problems. We summarize the known combinatorial and algorithmic results of this theory, the foundational Graph Minor r...
Abstract. We prove that for every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar graph can be contracted to H. We introduce contractions and topological min...
Gluck [6] has proven that triangulated 2-spheres are generically 3-rigid. Equivalently, planar graphs are generically 3-stress free. We show that already the K5-minor freeness gua...
We present a new local approximation algorithm for computing MAP and logpartition function for arbitrary exponential family distribution represented by a finite-valued pair-wise ...
