On Endomorphism Universality of Sparse Graph Classes

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 223-244, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We show that every commutative idempotent monoid (a.k.a. lattice) is the endomorphism monoid of a subcubic graph. This solves a problem of Babai and Pultr and the degree bound is best‐possible. On the other hand, we show that no class excluding a minor can have all commutative idempotent monoids among its endomorphism monoids. As a by‐product,

Tight Distance Query Reconstruction for Trees and Graphs Without Long Induced Cycles

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Given access to the vertex set V$$ V $$ of a connected graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$ and an oracle that given two vertices u,v∈V$$ u,v\in V $$, returns the shortest path distance between u$$ u $$ and v$$ v $$, how many queries are needed to reconstruct E$$ E $$?

A Strategy for Dynamic Programs: Start over and Muddle through [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2019
In the setting of DynFO, dynamic programs update the stored result of a query whenever the underlying data changes. This update is expressed in terms of first-order logic.

A PTAS for Bounded-Capacity Vehicle Routing in Planar Graphs

open access: yes, 2019
The Capacitated Vehicle Routing problem is to find a minimum-cost set of tours that collectively cover clients in a graph, such that each tour starts and ends at a specified depot and is subject to a capacity bound on the number of clients it can serve ...

Structural properties of graph products

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 107-136, June 2025.
Abstract Dujmovć, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt, and Wood established that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a graph with bounded treewidth and a path. Motivated by this result, this paper systematically studies various structural properties of cartesian, direct and strong products.

Regular resolution for CNF of bounded incidence treewidth with few long clauses

open access: yes, 2019
We demonstrate that Regular Resolution is FPT for two restricted families of CNFs of bounded incidence treewidth. The first includes CNFs having at most $p$ clauses whose removal results in a CNF of primal treewidth at most $k$.

An FPT 2-Approximation for Tree-Cut Decomposition

open access: yes, 2015
The tree-cut width of a graph is a graph parameter defined by Wollan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 110:47-66, 2015] with the help of tree-cut decompositions.

On Constrained Minimum Weight Edge Covers With Applications to Emergency Planning

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 85, Issue 3, Page 261-271, April 2025.
ABSTRACT In this paper we present a new covering problem, called Min Cost q$$ q $$‐Single Location Cover, where we are given a fixed positive integer q$$ q $$, a finite ground set J$$ J $$, an integral positive demand dj$$ {d}_j $$ for each element j∈J$$ j\in J $$, a collection 𝒥 of subsets of J$$ J $$, an integral positive cost cS$$ {c}_S $$ and an ...

Walking Through Waypoints

open access: yes, 2018
We initiate the study of a fundamental combinatorial problem: Given a capacitated graph $G=(V,E)$, find a shortest walk ("route") from a source $s\in V$ to a destination $t\in V$ that includes all vertices specified by a set $\mathscr{W}\subseteq V$: the

The complexity of the perfect matching‐cut problem

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 432-462, March 2025.
Abstract PERFECT MATCHING‐CUT is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge‐cut. We show that this problem is NP‐complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for bipartite five‐regular graphs, for graphs of diameter three, and for bipartite graphs of diameter four.
