Connectivity Augmentation of Plane Graphs

Krishnan Dehaleesan, Asif Khan, Pranabendu Misra

We study the problem of connectivity augmentation of a planar graph, while preserving planarity. This problem is motivated by many real-world settings such as road-networks, power-…

Space Efficient Algorithms for Parameterised Problems

Sheikh Shakil Akhtar, Pranabendu Misra, Geevarghese Philip

We study "space efficient" FPT algorithms for graph problems with limited memory. Let n be the size of the input graph and k be the parameter. We present algorithms that run in tim…

Improving Order with Queues

Andreas Karrenbauer, Kurt Mehlhorn, Pranabendu Misra +4

Given a sequence of numbers and parallel First-in-First-Out (FIFO) queues, how close can one bring the sequence to sorted order? It is known that queues suffice to sort…

Addressing Bias in Algorithmic Solutions: Exploring Vertex Cover and Feedback Vertex Set

Sheikh Shakil Akhtar, Jayakrishnan Madathil, Pranabendu Misra +1

A typical goal of research in combinatorial optimization is to come up with fast algorithms that find optimal solutions to a computational problem. The process that takes a real-wo…

A Single Exponential-Time FPT Algorithm for Cactus Contraction

R. Krithika, Pranabendu Misra, Prafullkumar Tale

For a collection of graphs, the -\textsc{Contraction} problem takes a graph and an integer as input and decides if can be modified to some gr…

Robust Contraction Decomposition for Minor-Free Graphs and its Applications

Sayan Bandyapadhyay, William Lochet, Daniel Lokshtanov +6

We prove a robust contraction decomposition theorem for -minor-free graphs, which states that given an -minor-free graph and an integer , one can partition in polynomi…
