Partitioning H-free graphs of bounded diameter (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Brause, C., Golovach, P. A., Martin, B., Paulusma, D., & Smith, S. (2021). Partitioning H-free graphs of bounded diameter. In H. Ahn, & K. Sadakane (Eds.), . https://doi.org/10.4230/lipics.isaac.2021.21

A natural way of increasing our understanding of NP-complete graph problems is to restrict the input to a special graph class. Classes of H-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain some graph H as an induced subgraph, have proven to be an ide... Read More about Partitioning H-free graphs of bounded diameter.

Acyclic, star and injective colouring: bounding the diameter (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Brause, C., Golovach, P., Martin, B., Paulusma, D., & Smith, S. (2021). Acyclic, star and injective colouring: bounding the diameter. In Ł. Kowalik, M. Pilipczuk, & P. Rzążewski (Eds.), Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science: 47th International Workshop, WG 2021, Warsaw, Poland, June 23–25, 2021, Revised Selected Papers (336-348). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-86838-3_26

We examine the effect of bounding the diameter for wellstudied variants of the Colouring problem. A colouring is acyclic, star, or injective if any two colour classes induce a forest, star forest or disjoint union of vertices and edges, respectively....

QCSP on reflexive tournaments (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Larose, B., Markovic, P., Martin, B., Paulusma, D., Smith, S., & Zivny, S. (2021). QCSP on reflexive tournaments. In P. Mutzel, R. Pagh, & G. Herman (Eds.), . https://doi.org/10.4230/lipics.esa.2021.58

We give a complexity dichotomy for the Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problem QCSP(H) when H is a reflexive tournament. It is well-known that reflexive tournaments can be split into a sequence of strongly connected components H1, . . . , Hn so th... Read More about QCSP on reflexive tournaments.

Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal for H-free graphs: finding large block graphs (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Paesani, G., Paulusma, D., & Rzążewski, P. (2021). Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal for H-free graphs: finding large block graphs. In F. Bonchi, & S. J. Puglisi (Eds.), . https://doi.org/10.4230/lipics.mfcs.2021.82

We prove new complexity results for Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal on H-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain some fixed graph H as an induced subgraph. In particular, we prove that both problems are polynomial-time solvabl... Read More about Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal for H-free graphs: finding large block graphs.

Computing weighted subset transversals in H-free graphs (2021)
Conference Proceeding

He (Eds.), Algorithms and Data Structures 17th International Symposium, WADS 2021, Virtual Event, August 9–11, 2021, Proceedings (229-242). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-83508-8_17

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.

Solving problems on generalized convex graphs via mim-width (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Bonomo-Braberman, F., Brettell, N., Munaro, A., & Paulusma, D. (2021). Solving problems on generalized convex graphs via mim-width. In A. Lubiw, M. Salavatipour, & M. He (Eds.), Algorithms and Data Structures: 17th International Symposium, WADS 2021, Virtual Event, August 9–11, 2021, Proceedings (200-214). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-83508-8_15

A bipartite graph G = (A, B, E) is H-convex, for some family of graphs H, if there exists a graph H ∈ H with V (H) = A such that the set of neighbours in A of each b ∈ B induces a connected subgraph of H. Many NP-complete problems become polynomial-t... Read More about Solving problems on generalized convex graphs via mim-width.

The well-known Disjoint Paths problem is to decide if a graph contains k pairwise disjoint paths, each connecting a different terminal pair from a set of k distinct pairs. We determine, with an exception of two cases, the complexity of the Disjoint P... Read More about Disjoint paths and connected subgraphs for H-free graphs.

Injective colouring for H-free graphs (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Bok, J., Jedličková, N., Martin, B., Paulusma, D., & Smith, S. (2021). Injective colouring for H-free graphs.

A function c : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k} is a k-colouring of a graph G if c(u) 6= c(v) whenever u and v are adjacent. If any two colour classes induce the disjoint union of vertices and edges, then c is called injective. Injective colourings are also... Read More about Injective colouring for H-free graphs.

For k ≥ 1, a k-colouring c of G is a mapping from V (G) to {1, 2, . . . , k} such that c(u) 6= c(v) for any two non-adjacent vertices u and v.
