Presentation / Conference Contribution
Johnson, M., Martin, B., Pandey, S., Paulusma, D., Smith, S., & Van Leeuwen, E. J. (2023, August). Complexity Framework for Forbidden Subgraphs III: When Problems are Tractable on Subcubic Graphs. Presented at 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023), Bordeaux, France

For any finite set H = {H1,. .. , Hp} of graphs, a graph is H-subgraph-free if it does not contain any of H1,. .. , Hp as a subgraph. In recent work, meta-classifications have been studied: these show that if graph problems satisfy certain prescribed...

Paths P1,…,Pk in a graph G=(V,E) are mutually induced if any two distinct Pi and Pj have neither common vertices nor adjacent vertices. The INDUCED DISJOINT PATHS problem is to decide if a graph G with k pairs of specified vertices (si,ti) contains k...

For a fixed integer, the k-Colouring problem is to decide if the vertices of a graph can be coloured with at most k colours for an integer k, such that no two adjacent vertices are coloured alike. A graph G is H-free if G does not contain H as an ind... Read More about Colouring generalized claw-free graphs and graphs of large girth: Bounding the diameter.

A natural way of increasing our understanding of NP-complete graph problems is to restrict the input to a special graph class.

The L(p, q)-Edge-Labelling problem is the edge variant of the well-known L(p, q)-Labelling problem. It is equivalent to the L(p, q)-Labelling problem itself if we restrict the input of the latter problem to line graphs. So far, the complexity of L(p,...
