    Approximate and Randomized Algorithms for Computing a Second Hamiltonian Cycle

    In this paper we consider the following problem: Given a Hamiltonian graph G, and a Hamiltonian cycle C of G, can we compute a second Hamiltonian cycle ...

    Equitable scheduling on a single machine

    We introduce a natural but seemingly yet unstudied variant of the problem of scheduling jobs on a single machine so as to minimize the number of tardy jobs. The novelty of our new variant lies in simultaneousl...

    Payment Scheduling in the Interval Debt Model

    The networks-based study of financial systems has received considerable attention in recent years, but seldom explicitly incorporated the dynamic aspects of such systems. We consider this problem setting from ...

    Interference-free walks in time: temporally disjoint paths

    We investigate the computational complexity of finding temporally disjoint paths and walks in temporal graphs. There, the edge set changes over discrete time steps. Temporal paths and walks use edges that appear ...

    The Power of Linear-Time Data Reduction for Maximum Matching

    Finding maximum-cardinality matchings in undirected graphs is arguably one of the most central graph primitives. For m-edge and n-vertex graphs, it is well-known to be solvable in \(O(m\sqrt{n})\) O ( m n )

    When Can Graph Hyperbolicity be Computed in Linear Time?

    Hyperbolicity is a distance-based measure of how close a given graph is to being a tree. Due to its relevance in modeling real-world networks, hyperbolicity has seen intensive research over the last years. Unf...

    Binary Search in Graphs Revisited

    In the classical binary search in a path the aim is to detect an unknown target by asking as few queries as possible, where each query reveals the direction to the target. This binary search algorithm has been...

    The Temporal Explorer Who Returns to the Base

    In this paper we study the problem of exploring a temporal graph (i.e. a graph that changes over time), in the fundamental case where the underlying static graph is a star on n vertices. The aim of the exploratio...

    Kernelization Lower Bounds for Finding Constant-Size Subgraphs
