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...

We study the following variant of the bin covering problem. We are given a set of unit sized items, where each item has a color associated with it. We are given an integer paramet...
We consider Sturmian trees as a natural generalization of Sturmian words. A Sturmian tree is a tree having n + 1 distinct subtrees of height n for each n. As for the case of words,...

Coloring a k-colorable graph using k colors (k ≥ 3) is a notoriously hard problem. Considering average case analysis allows for better results. In this work we consider the unif...

We study a family of problems, called Maximum Solution (Max Sol), where the objective is to maximise a linear goal function over the feasible integer assignments to a set of variab...
