The chromatic covering number of a graph
Following [1], we investigate the problem of covering a graph G with induced subgraphs G1, . . . , Gk of possibly smaller chromatic number, but such that for every vertex u of G, ...

Vertex Cover in Graphs with Locally Few Colors
In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...

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,...

Crown Structures for Vertex Cover Kernelization
Crown structures in a graph are defined and shown to be useful in kernelization algorithms for the classic vertex cover problem. Two vertex cover kernelization methods are discus...
