Twin-width VI: the lens of contraction sequences∗

É Bonnet, EJ Kim, A Reinald, S Thomassé - … of the 2022 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2022 - SIAM
A contraction sequence of a graph consists of iteratively merging two of its vertices until only
one vertex remains. The recently introduced twin-width graph invariant is based on …

Structural parameterizations for two bounded degree problems revisited

M Lampis, M Vasilakis - ACM Transactions on Computation Theory, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We revisit two well-studied problems, Bounded Degree Vertex Deletion and Defective
Coloring, where the input is a graph G and a target degree Δ, and we are asked either to edit …

Tight algorithms for connectivity problems parameterized by clique-width

F Hegerfeld, S Kratsch - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.03627, 2023 - arxiv.org
The complexity of problems involving global constraints is usually much more difficult to
understand than the complexity of problems only involving local constraints. A natural form …

Clique-width for hereditary graph classes.

KK Dabrowski, M Johnson, D Paulusma - BCC, 2019 - books.google.com
Clique-width is a well-studied graph parameter owing to its use in understanding algorithmic
tractability: if the clique-width of a graph class G is bounded by a constant, a wide range of …

Counting list homomorphisms from graphs of bounded treewidth: tight complexity bounds

J Focke, D Marx, P Rzążewski - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2024 - dl.acm.org
The goal of this work is to give precise bounds on the counting complexity of a family of
generalized coloring problems (list homomorphisms) on bounded-treewidth graphs. Given …

R Ganian, T Hamm, V Korchemna, K Okrasa… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The generic homomorphism problem, which asks whether an input graph $ G $ admits a
homomorphism into a fixed target graph $ H $, has been widely studied in the literature. In …

Towards exact structural thresholds for parameterized complexity

F Hegerfeld, S Kratsch - arXiv preprint arXiv:2107.06111, 2021 - arxiv.org
Parameterized complexity seeks to use input structure to obtain faster algorithms for NP-
