W[1]-Hardness of Upper Clique Transversal

J. Pascal Gollin, Pascal J. Gollin, Tesshu Hanaka +3

A clique transversal of a graph is a set of vertices intersecting every maximal clique. We prove that deciding whether a graph has an inclusion-wise minimal clique transversal of s…

Excluding paths and bicliques

Maria Chudnovsky, Julien Codsi, Matjaž Krnc +1

Classes of graphs excluding a path and a biclique as induced subgraphs are extensively studied in the literature. One of the key structural results for such graphs is a Ramsey-type…

Clique-width and induced topological minors

Paweł Rafał Bieliński, Jadwiga Czyżewska, Martin Milanič +2

A is a chordless path on four vertices. A diamond is a graph obtained from a clique of size four by removing one edge of the clique. A paw is a graph obtained from a clique o…

Minimal toughness in subclasses of weakly chordal graphs

J. Pascal Gollin, Martin Milanič, Laura Ogrin

The toughness of a graph is defined as the largest real number such that for any set such that is disconnected, has at least times more elem…

Tree decompositions whose trees are subgraphs: An application of Simon's factorization

Romain Bourneuf, Gwenaël Joret, Piotr Micek +2

We show that every connected graph has a tree decomposition indexed by a tree such that is a subgraph of and the width of the tree decomposition is bounded from abo…

Awesome graph parameters

Kenny Bešter Štorgel, Clément Dallard, Vadim Lozin +2

For a graph , we denote by the size of a maximum independent set and by the size of a maximum clique in . Our paper lies on the edge of two lines of research, r…

Dominated balanced separators in wheel-induced-minor-free graphs

Maria Chudnovsky, J. Pascal Gollin, Matjaž Krnc +1

Gartland and Lokshtanov conjectured that every graph that excludes some planar graph as an induced minor has a balanced separator, that is, a separator whose deletion leaves every…

Induced matching treewidth and tree-independence number, revisited

Noga Alon, Martin Milanič, Paweł Rzążewski

We study two graph parameters defined via tree decompositions: tree-independence number and induced matching treewidth. Both parameters are defined similarly as treewidth, but with…

On -Roman graphs: complexity of recognition and the case of split graphs

Kenny Bešter Štorgel, Nina Chiarelli, Lara Fernández +4

For a positive integer , a -Roman dominating function of a graph is a function satisfying $\sum_{u\in N(v)} f(u) \geq…

Sandwich Monotonicity and Recognition of Weighted Graph Classes

Jesse Beisegel, Nina Chiarelli, Ekkehard Köhler +5

Edge-weighted graphs play an important role in the theory of Robinsonian matrices and similarity theory, particularly via the concept of level graphs, that is, graphs obtained from…

Layered tree-independence number and clique-based separators

Clément Dallard, Martin Milanič, Andrea Munaro +1

Motivated by a question of Galby, Munaro, and Yang (SoCG 2023) asking whether every graph class of bounded layered tree-independence number admits clique-based separators of sublin…

Excluding an induced wheel minor in graphs without large induced stars

Mujin Choi, Claire Hilaire, Martin Milanič +1

We study a conjecture due to Dallard, Krnc, Kwon, Milanič, Munaro, Štorgel, and Wiederrecht stating that for any positive integer and any planar graph , the class of all $K_…

Treewidth versus clique number. V. Further connections with tree-independence number

Claire Hilaire, Martin Milanič, Đorđe Vasić

We continue the study of -bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in which large treewidth is witnessed by the presence of a large clique, and the relation…

Linear colorings of graphs

Claire Hilaire, Matjaž Krnc, Martin Milanič +1

Motivated by algorithmic applications, Kun, O'Brien, Pilipczuk, and Sullivan introduced the parameter linear chromatic number as a relaxation of treedepth and proved that the two p…

Path Eccentricity and Forbidden Induced Subgraphs

Sylwia Cichacz, Claire Hilaire, Tomáš Masařík +2

The path eccentricity of a connected graph is the minimum integer such that has a path such that every vertex is at distance at most from the path. A result of Duff…

Tree independence number V. Walls and claws

Maria Chudnovsky, Julien Codsi, Daniel Lokshtanov +2

Given a family of graphs, we say that a graph is -free if no induced subgraph of is isomorphic to a member of . Let be t…

Young domination on Hamming rectangles

Janko Gravner, Matjaž Krnc, Martin Milanič +1

We introduce a family of domination-type problems in Cartesian products of two graphs. The framework captures several well-studied topics, including variants of bootstrap percolati…
