Computing weighted subset transversals in H-free graphs (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brettell, N., Johnson, M., & Paulusma, D. (2021, August). Computing weighted subset transversals in H-free graphs. Presented at WADS 2021, Halifax, Nova Scotia

For the Odd Cycle Transversal problem, the task is to nd a small set S of vertices in a graph that intersects every cycle of odd length. The Subset Odd Cycle Transversal requires S to intersect only those odd cycles that include a vertex of a disting... Read More about Computing weighted subset transversals in H-free graphs.

Recognizing Graphs Close to Bipartite Graphs with an Application to Colouring Reconfiguration (2021)
Journal Article
Bonamy, M., Dabrowski, K., Feghali, C., Johnson, M., & Paulusma, D. (2021). Recognizing Graphs Close to Bipartite Graphs with an Application to Colouring Reconfiguration. Journal of Graph Theory, 98(1), 81-109. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgt.22683

We continue research into a well-studied family of problems that ask whether the vertices of a given graph can be partitioned into sets A and B, where A is an independent set and B induces a graph from some specified graph class G. We consider the ca... Read More about Recognizing Graphs Close to Bipartite Graphs with an Application to Colouring Reconfiguration.

What graphs are 2-dot product graphs? (2021)
Journal Article
Johnson, M., Paulusma, D., & van Leeuwen, E. (2021). What graphs are 2-dot product graphs?. International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications, 31(01), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0218195921500011

Let d ≥ 1 be an integer. From a set of d-dimensional vectors, we obtain a d-dot product graph by letting each vector a u correspond to a vertex u and by adding an edge between two vertices u and v if and only if their dot product a u · a v ≥ t, for s...

Steiner Trees for Hereditary Graph Classes: a Treewidth Perspective (2021)
Journal Article
Bodlaender, H., Brettell, N., Johnson, M., Paesani, G., Paulusma, D., & van Leeuwen, E. (2021). Steiner Trees for Hereditary Graph Classes: a Treewidth Perspective. Theoretical Computer Science, 867, 30-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcs.2021.03.012

We consider the classical problems (Edge) Steiner Tree and Vertex Steiner Tree after restricting the input to some class of graphs characterized by a small set of forbidden induced subgraphs. We show a dichotomy for the former problem restricted to -... Read More about Steiner Trees for Hereditary Graph Classes: a Treewidth Perspective.

Bodlaender, H., Brettell, N., Johnson, M., Paesani, G., Paulusma, D., & van Leeuwen, E. J. (2020, May). Steiner trees for hereditary graph classes. Presented at LATIN 2020, São Paulo

We consider the classical problems (Edge) Steiner Tree and Vertex Steiner Tree after restricting the input to some class of graphs characterized by a small set of forbidden induced subgraphs. We show a dichotomy for the former problem restricted to (... Read More about Steiner trees for hereditary graph classes.

Computing subset transversals in H-free graphs (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brettell, N., Johnson, M., Paesani, G., & Paulusma, D. (2020, December). Computing subset transversals in H-free graphs. Presented at WG 2020, Leeds, England

We study the computational complexity of two well-known graph transversal problems, namely Subset Feedback Vertex Set and Subset Odd Cycle Transversal, by restricting the input to H-free graphs, that is, to graphs that do not contain some fixed graph...

Graph isomorphism for (H1,H2)-free graphs: an almost complete dichotomy (2020)
Journal Article
Bonamy, M., Bousquet, N., Dabrowski, K., Johnson, M., Paulusma, D., & Pierron, T. (2021). Graph isomorphism for (H1,H2)-free graphs: an almost complete dichotomy. Algorithmica, 83(3), 822-852. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00453-020-00747-x

We resolve the computational complexity of GRAPH ISOMORPHISM for classes of graphs characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs H_{1} and H_2 for all but six pairs (H_1,H_2). Schweitzer had previously shown that the number of open cases was finit... Read More about Graph isomorphism for (H1,H2)-free graphs: an almost complete dichotomy.

Clique-width for graph classes closed under complementation (2020)
Journal Article
Blanché, A., Dabrowski, K., Johnson, M., Lozin, V., Paulusma, D., & Zamaraev, V. (2020). Clique-width for graph classes closed under complementation. SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 34(2), 1107-1147. https://doi.org/10.1137/18m1235016

Clique-width is an important graph parameter due to its algorithmic and structural properties. A graph class is hereditary if it can be characterized by a (not necessarily finite) set H of forbidden induced subgraphs. We study the boundedness of cliq...

On Cycle Transversals and Their Connected Variants in the Absence of a Small Linear Forest (2020)
Journal Article

A graph is H-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to H. We prove new complexity results for the two classical cycle transversal problems FEEDBACK VERTEX SET and ODD CYCLE TRANSVERSAL by showing that they can be solved in polynomial time...

Independent transversals versus transversals (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dabrowski, K., Johnson, M., Paesani, G., Paulusma, D., & Zamaraev, V. (2019, December). Independent transversals versus transversals. Presented at EuroComb 2019, Bratislava, Slovakia

We compare the minimum size of a vertex cover, feedback vertex set and odd cycle transversal of a graph with the minimum size of the corresponding variants in which the transversal must be an independent set. We investigate for which graphs H the two... Read More about Independent transversals versus transversals.
