Be sparse! Be dense! Be robust!

In this thesis we study the computational complexity of five NP-hard graph problems. It is widely accepted that, in general, NP-hard problems cannot be solved efficiently, that is, in polynomial time, due to many unsuccessful attempts to prove the contrary. Hence, we aim to identify properties of the inputs other than their length, that make the problem tractable or intractable. We measure these properties via parameters, mappings that assign to each input a nonnegative integer. For a given parameter k, we then attempt to design fixed-parameter algorithms, algorithms that on input q have running time upper bounded by f(k(q)) * |q|^c , where f is a preferably slowly growing function, |q| is t...

This two volume set LNCS 9234 and 9235 constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 40th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2015, held in Milan, Italy, in August 2015. The 82 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully selected from 201 submissions. The papers feature high-quality research in all branches of theoretical computer science. They have been organized in the following topical main sections: logic, semantics, automata, and theory of programming (volume 1) and algorithms, complexity, and games (volume 2).

Classic graph problems made temporal – a parameterized complexity analysis

This thesis investigates the parameterized computational complexity of six classic graph problems lifted to a temporal setting. More specifically, we consider problems defined on temporal graphs, that is, a graph where the edge set may change over a discrete time interval, while the vertex set remains unchanged. Temporal graphs are well-suited to model dynamic data and hence they are naturally motivated in contexts where dynamic changes or time-dependent interactions play an important role, such as, for example, communication networks, social networks, or physical proximity networks. The most important selection criteria for our problems was that they are well-motivated in the context of dyn...

  • Publisher: Springer

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 43rd International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, WG 2017, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in June 2017. The 31 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. They cover a wide range of areas, aiming at connecting theory and applications by demonstrating how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer science. Another focus is on presenting recent results and on identifying and exploring promising directions of future research.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation, IPEC 2011, in Saarbrücken, Germany, in September 2011. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The topics addressed cover research in all aspects of parameterized and exact computation and complexity, including but not limited to new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms, fixed-parameter tractability results, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications, applications of parameterized and exact computation, and implementation issues of parameterized and exact algorithms.

Fixed-Parameter Linear-Time Algorithms for NP-hard Graph and Hypergraph Problems Arising in Industrial Applications

This thesis aims for the development of efficient algorithms to exactly solve four selected NP-hard graph and hypergraph problems arising in the fields of scheduling, steel manufactoring, software engineering, radio frequency allocation, computer-aided circuit design, and social network analysis. NP-hard problems presumably cannot be solved exactly in a running time growing only polynomially with the input size. In order to still solve the considered problems efficiently, this thesis develops linear-time data reduction and fixed-parameter linear-time algorithms—algorithms that can be proven to run in linear time if certain parameters of the problem instances are constant. Besides proving l...
