Bidimensionality and geometric graphs
Bidimensionality theory was introduced by Demaine et al. [JACM 2005 ] as a framework to obtain algorithmic results for hard problems on minor closed graph classes. The theory has ...

Kleene Theorems for Product Systems
We prove Kleene theorems for two subclasses of labelled product systems which are inspired from well-studied subclasses of 1bounded Petri nets. For product T-systems we define a c...

Algorithms for Implicit Hitting Set Problems
A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

Querying Graphs in Protein-Protein Interactions Networks Using Feedback Vertex Set
Recent techniques increase rapidly the amount of our knowledge on interactions between proteins. The interpretation of these new information depends on our ability to retrieve kno...

A primal-dual interpretation of two 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs
Recently, Becker and Geiger and Bafna, Berman and Fujito gave 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs. We show how their algorithms can...

A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure for the Feedback Vertex Set Problem
Abstract. A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is a randomized heuristic that has produced high quality solutions for a wide range of combinatorial optimization pr...

Improved upper and lower bounds on the feedback vertex numbers of grids and butterflies
We improve upon the best known upper and lower bounds on the sizes of minimal feedback vertex sets in butterflies. Also, we construct new feedback vertex sets in grids so that for...

Feedback vertex set on AT-free graphs
We present a polynomial time algorithm to compute a minimum (weight) feedback vertex set for AT-free graphs, and extending this approach we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for ...
