Fast Exact Algorithms for Hamiltonicity in Claw-Free Graphs (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Broersma, H. J., Fomin, F. V., Hof van 't, P., & Paulusma, D. (2009, June). Fast Exact Algorithms for Hamiltonicity in Claw-Free Graphs. Presented at 35th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG 2009), Montpellier, France

The Hamiltonian Cycle problem asks if an n-vertex graph G has a cycle passing through all vertices of G. This problem is a classic NP-complete problem. So far, finding an exact algorithm that solves it in O *(α n ) time for some constant α< 2 is a no...

Three complexity results on coloring Pk-free graphs (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Broersma, H. J., Fomin, F. V., Golovach, P. A., & Paulusma, D. (2023, June). Three complexity results on coloring Pk-free graphs. Presented at 20th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms (IWOCA 2009), Hradec nad Moravicí, Czech Republic

We prove three complexity results on vertex coloring problems restricted to Pk-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain a path on k vertices as an induced subgraph. First of all, we show that the pre-coloring extension version of 5-coloring rema... Read More about Three complexity results on coloring Pk-free graphs.

On-line coloring of H-free bipartite graphs. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Broersma, H. J., Capponi, A., & Paulusma, D. (2006, May). On-line coloring of H-free bipartite graphs. Presented at 6th Italian Conference on Algorithms and Complexity (CIAC 2006)., Rome, Italy

We present a new on-line algorithm for coloring bipartite graphs. This yields a new upper bound on the on-line chromatic number of bipartite graphs, improving a bound due to Lovász, Saks and Trotter. The algorithm is on-line competitive on various cl... Read More about On-line coloring of H-free bipartite graphs..

The computational complexity of the parallel knock-out problem (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Broersma, H., Johnson, M., Paulusma, D., & Stewart, I. (2006, March). The computational complexity of the parallel knock-out problem. Presented at 7th Latin American Theoretical Informatics Symposium (LATIN 2006), Valdivia, Chile

We consider computational complexity questions related to parallel knock-out schemes for graphs. In such schemes, in each round, each remaining vertex of a given graph eliminates exactly one of its neighbours. We show that the problem of whether, for...
