    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...

    Algorithms and Complexity for Metric Dimension and Location-domination on Interval and Permutation Graphs

    We study the problems Locating-Dominating Set and Metric Dimension, which consist of determining a minimum-size set of vertices that distinguishes the vertices of a graph using either neighbourhoods or distances....

    On Temporally Connected Graphs of Small Cost

    We study the design of small cost temporally connected graphs, under various constraints. We mainly consider undirected graphs of n vertices, where each edge has an associated set of discrete availability instanc...

    An Intersection Model for Multitolerance Graphs: Efficient Algorithms and Hierarchy

    Tolerance graphs model interval relations in such a way that intervals can tolerate a certain degree of overlap without being in conflict. This class of graphs has attracted many research efforts, mainly due t...

    Approximating Fixation Probabilities in the Generalized Moran Process

    We consider the Moran process, as generalized by Lieberman et al. (Nature 433:312–316, 2005). A population resides on the vertices of a finite, connected, undirected graph and, at each time step, an individual is...

    Parameterized Domination in Circle Graphs

    A circle graph is the intersection graph of a set of chords in a circle. Keil [Discrete Applied Mathematics, 42(1):51-63, 1993] proved that Dominating Set, Connected Dominating Set, and Total Dominating Set are N...

    The Longest Path Problem has a Polynomial Solution on Interval Graphs

    The longest path problem is the problem of finding a path of maximum length in a graph. Polynomial solutions for this problem are known only for small classes of graphs, while it is NP-hard on general graphs, ...
