Homomorphisms are a good basis for counting small subgraphs

R Curticapean, H Dell, D Marx - Proceedings of the 49th Annual ACM …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
We introduce graph motif parameters, a class of graph parameters that depend only on the
frequencies of constant-size induced subgraphs. Classical works by Lovász show that many …

Complexity of counting subgraphs: Only the boundedness of the vertex-cover number counts

For a class C of graphs,# Sub (C) is the counting problem that, given a graph H from C and
an arbitrary graph G, asks for the number of subgraphs of G isomorphic to H. It is known that …

Counting small induced subgraphs: Hardness via fourier analysis

R Curticapean, D Neuen - Proceedings of the 2025 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2025 - SIAM
For a fixed graph property Φ and integer k≥ 1, consider the problem of counting the induced

The simple, little and slow things count: on parameterized counting complexity

R Curticapean - 2015 - publikationen.sulb.uni-saarland.de
In this thesis, we study the parameterized complexity of counting problems, as introduced by
Flum and Grohe. This area mainly involves questions of the following kind: On inputs x with …

From Graph Properties to Graph Parameters: Tight Bounds for Counting on Small Subgraphs

S Döring, D Marx, P Wellnitz - Proceedings of the 2025 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2025 - SIAM
A graph property is a function Φ that maps every graph to {0, 1} and is invariant under
isomorphism. In the# IndSub (Φ) problem, given a graph G and an integer k, the task is to …
