Polynomial pathwidth for graphs vertex-coverable by few shortest paths and algorithms for quasi-shortest path covers

Li-Hsuan Chen, Florent Foucaud, Ling-Ju Hung +3

We study how covering a graph by a small number of shortest or approximately shortest paths/walks constrains its treewidth and pathwidth. A path or walk is -quasi-shortest f…

A note on partitioning the vertex set of a graph into a dominating set and a locating dominating set

Dipayan Chakraborty, Florent Foucaud, Michael A. Henning +1

A set of vertices in a graph is a dominating set of if every vertex not in has a neighbor in , where two vertices are neighbors if they are adjacent. The dominat…

Algorithms and Hardness for Geodetic Set on Tree-like Digraphs

Florent Foucaud, Narges Ghareghani, Lucas Lorieau +3

In the GEODETIC SET problem, an input is a (di)graph and integer , and the objective is to decide whether there exists a vertex subset of size such that any vertex i…

Polynomial-time algorithms for PATH COVER and PATH PARTITION on trees and graphs of bounded treewidth

Florent Foucaud, Atrayee Majumder, Tobias Mömke +1

In the PATH COVER problem, one asks to cover the vertices of a graph using the smallest possible number of (not necessarily disjoint) paths. While the variant where the paths need…

The Parameterized Complexity of Computing the VC-Dimension

Florent Foucaud, Harmender Gahlawat, Fionn Mc Inerney +1

The VC-dimension is a well-studied and fundamental complexity measure of a set system (or hypergraph) that is central to many areas of machine learning. We establish several new re…

Characterizing optimal monitoring edge-geodetic sets for some structured graph classes

Florent Foucaud, Arti Pandey, Kaustav Paul

Given a graph , a set is said to be a monitoring edge-geodetic set if the deletion of any edge in the graph results in a change in the distance between at l…

Strong isometric path complexity of graphs: Asymptotic minors, restricted holes, and graph operations

Dibyayan Chakraborty, Florent Foucaud

The (strong) isometric path complexity is a recently introduced graph invariant that captures how arbitrary isometric paths (i.e., shortest paths) of a graph can be viewed as a uni…
