Hardness and Tractability of T_{h+1}-Free Edge Deletion

Ajinkya Gaikwad, Soumen Maity, Leeja R

We study the parameterized complexity of the T(h+1)-Free Edge Deletion problem. Given a graph G and integers k and h, the task is to delete at most k edges so that every connected…

Inclusive and Exclusive Vertex Splitting into Specific Graph Classes: NP Hardness and Algorithms

Ajinkya Gaikwad, Hitendra Kumar, S. Padmapriya +3

We study a family of graph modification problems called the F-Vertex Splitting problem. Given a graph G, the task is to determine whether G can be transformed into a graph G-prime…
