We study the parameterized complexity of the problems of determining whether a graph contains a k-edge subgraph (k-vertex induced subgraph) that is a -graph for -graphs being one ...
Various forms of multicut problems are of great importance in the area of network design. In general, these problems are intractable. However, several parameters have been identifi...
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...
A flow on a directed network is said to be confluent if the flow uses at most one outgoing arc at each node. Confluent flows arise naturally from destination-based routing. We stud...
We investigate the relationship between two kinds of vertex colorings of graphs: uniquemaximum colorings and conflict-free colorings. In a unique-maximum coloring, the colors are ...
The study of simple stochastic games (SSGs) was initiated by Condon for analyzing the computational power of randomized space-bounded alternating Turing machines. The game is play...
In this paper, we consider an arbitrary class H of rooted graphs such that each biconnected component is given by a representation with reflectional symmetry, which allows a roote...
A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...
