Superpatterns and Universal Point Sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An old open problem in graph drawing asks for the size of a universal point set, a set of points that can be used as vertices for straight-line drawings of all n-vertex planar graphs.

Semantic Tree-Width and Path-Width of Conjunctive Regular Path Queries [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science
We show that the problem of whether a query is equivalent to a query of tree-width $k$ is decidable, for the class of Unions of Conjunctive Regular Path Queries with two-way navigation (UC2RPQs).

FPT is Characterized by Useful Obstruction Sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many graph problems were first shown to be fixed-parameter tractable using the results of Robertson and Seymour on graph minors. We show that the combination of finite, computable, obstruction sets and efficient order tests is not just one way of ...

On first-order transductions of classes of graphs [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science
We study various aspects of the first-order transduction quasi-order on graph classes, which provides a way of measuring the relative complexity of graph classes based on whether one can encode the other using a formula of first-order (FO) logic.

The Price of Upwardness [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science
Not every directed acyclic graph (DAG) whose underlying undirected graph is planar admits an upward planar drawing. We are interested in pushing the notion of upward drawings beyond planarity by considering upward $k$-planar drawings of DAGs in which the

The List Coloring Reconfiguration Problem for Bounded Pathwidth Graphs

open access: yes, 2014
We study the problem of transforming one list (vertex) coloring of a graph into another list coloring by changing only one vertex color assignment at a time, while at all times maintaining a list coloring, given a list of allowed colors for each vertex ...

Digraph Complexity Measures and Applications in Formal Language Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate structural complexity measures on digraphs, in particular the cycle rank. This concept is intimately related to a classical topic in formal language theory, namely the star height of regular languages.

Width, Depth, and Space: Tradeoffs between Branching and Dynamic Programming

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2018
Treedepth is a well-established width measure which has recently seen a resurgence of interest. Since graphs of bounded treedepth are more restricted than graphs of bounded tree- or pathwidth, we are interested in the algorithmic utility of this ...

An Improved Bound for First-Fit on Posets Without Two Long Incomparable Chains

open access: yes, 2012
It is known that the First-Fit algorithm for partitioning a poset P into chains uses relatively few chains when P does not have two incomparable chains each of size k. In particular, if P has width w then Bosek, Krawczyk, and Szczypka (SIAM J.
