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

Outerplanar Obstructions for Matroid Pathwidth

open access: yesElectronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2011
For each non-negative integer k, we provide all outerplanar obstructions for the class of graphs whose cycle matroid has pathwidth at most k. Our proof combines a decomposition lemma for proving lower bounds on matroid pathwidth and a relation between matroid pathwidth and linear width.

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 ...

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 ...

Structural parameterizations for boxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The boxicity of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an intersection model of axis-aligned $d$-dimensional boxes. Boxicity, the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ has boxicity at most $d$, is NP-complete for every fixed $d ...

A simple linear-time algorithm for finding path-decompositions of small width [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We described a simple algorithm running in linear time for each fixed constant $k$, that either establishes that the pathwidth of a graph $G$ is greater than $k$, or finds a path-decomposition of $G$ of width at most $O(2^{k})$.

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.

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.
