Time and Parallelizability Results for Parity Games with Bounded Tree and DAG Width [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2013
Parity games are a much researched class of games in NP intersect CoNP that are not known to be in P. Consequently, researchers have considered specialised algorithms for the case where certain graph parameters are small.

Tuza's Conjecture for Threshold Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2022
Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum average degree, including

Treewidth-Aware Cycle Breaking for Algebraic Answer Set Counting

open access: yesInternational Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2021
Probabilistic reasoning, parameter learning, and most probable explanation inference for answer set programming have recently received growing attention.

Stable gonality is computable [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
Stable gonality is a multigraph parameter that measures the complexity of a graph. It is defined using maps to trees. Those maps, in some sense, divide the edges equally over the edges of the tree; stable gonality asks for the map with the minimum number

An improved algorithm for the vertex cover $P_3$ problem on graphs of bounded treewidth [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a positive integer $t\geq2$, the task in the vertex cover $P_t$ ($VCP_t$) problem is to find a minimum subset of vertices $F\subseteq V$ such that every path of order $t$ in $G$ contains at least one vertex from $F$.

A Machine Learning Approach to Algorithm Selection for Exact Computation of Treewidth

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2019
We present an algorithm selection framework based on machine learning for the exact computation of treewidth, an intensively studied graph parameter that is NP-hard to compute.

Tree-width for first order formulae [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2012
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae \phi, fotw(\phi). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formulae of bounded fotw, model checking is fixed parameter tractable ...

Decomposition-Guided Reductions for Argumentation and Treewidth

open access: yesInternational Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021
Argumentation is a widely applied framework for modeling and evaluating arguments and its reasoning with various applications. Popular frameworks are abstract argumentation (Dung’s framework) or logic-based argumentation (Besnard-Hunter’s framework ...

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 ...

Optimizing tree decompositions in MSO [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2022
The classic algorithm of Bodlaender and Kloks [J. Algorithms, 1996] solves the following problem in linear fixed-parameter time: given a tree decomposition of a graph of (possibly suboptimal) width k, compute an optimum-width tree decomposition of the ...
