Markov random field pixel labelling is often used to obtain image segmentations in which each segment or region is labelled according to its attributes such as colour or texture. ...

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...

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...

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 ...
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
