Open AccessUnderstanding the effectiveness of government interventions against the resurgence of COVID-19 in Europe
European governments use non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to control resurging waves of COVID-19. However, they only have outdated estimates for how effective individual NPIs were in the first wave. We ...

Sorting by Swaps with Noisy Comparisons
We study sorting of permutations by random swaps if each comparison gives the wrong result with some fixed probability \(p<1/2\) ...

Compact I/O-Efficient Representation of Separable Graphs and Optimal Tree Layouts
Compact and I/O-efficient data representations play an important role in efficient algorithm design, as memory bandwidth and latency can present a significant performance bottleneck, slowing the computation by...

Fixed Parameter Complexity of Distance Constrained Labeling and Uniform Channel Assignment Problems
We study computational complexity of the class of distance-constrained graph labeling problems from the fixed parameter tractability point of view. The parameters studied are neighborhood diversity and clique ...

Cops and Robbers on String Graphs
The game of cops and robber, introduced by Nowakowski and Winkler in 1983, is played by two players on a graph. One controls k cops and the other a robber. The players alternate and move their pieces to the dista...

Deciding First Order Properties of Matroids
Frick and Grohe [J. ACM 48 (2006), 1184–1206] introduced a notion of graph classes with locally bounded tree-width and established that every first order property can be decided in almost linear time in such a...

Catching a Fast Robber on Interval Graphs
We analyse the Cops and ∞-fast Robber game on the class of interval graphs and show it to be polynomially decidable on such graphs. This solves an open problem posed in paper “Pursuing a fast robber on a graph...
