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

Practical Access to Dynamic Programming on Tree Decompositions
Algorithms, 2019 Parameterized complexity theory has led to a wide range of algorithmic breakthroughs within the last few decades, but the practicability of these methods for real-world problems is still not well understood.

Tree Independence Number III. Thetas, Prisms and Stars
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We prove that for every t ∈ N $t\in {\mathbb{N}}$ there exists τ = τ ( t ) ∈ N $\tau =\tau (t)\in {\mathbb{N}}$ such that every (theta, prism, K 1 , t ${K}_{1,t}$)‐free graph has tree independence number at most τ $\tau $ (where we allow “prisms” to have one path of length zero).

Stable gonality is computable [PDF]
Discrete 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

Flexible List Coloring of Graphs With Maximum Average Degree Less Than 3
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the flexible list coloring problem, we consider a graph G $G$ and a color list assignment L $L$ on G $G$, as well as a subset U ⊆ V ( G ) $U\subseteq V(G)$ for which each u ∈ U $u\in U$ has a preferred color p ( u ) ∈ L ( u ) $p(u)\in L(u)$. Our goal is to find a proper L $L$‐coloring ϕ $\phi $ of G $G$ such that ϕ ( u ) = p ( u ) $\phi (u)=

Computing Treewidth on the GPU
CoRR, 2017 We present a parallel algorithm for computing the treewidth of a graph on a GPU. We implement this algorithm in OpenCL, and experimentally evaluate its performance. Our algorithm is based on an $O^*(2^{n})$-time algorithm that explores the elimination orderings of the graph using a Held-Karp like dynamic programming approach.

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, 1993 In this paper we show that the treewidth of a circle graph can be computed in polynomial time. A circle graph is a graph that is isomorphic to the intersection graph of a finite collection of chords of a circle. The TREEWIDTH problem can be viewed upon as the problem of finding a chordal embedding of the graph that minimizes the clique number.
