Universally extendible characters

Benjamin Sambale

Let theta be an ordinary character or a Brauer character of a finite group N. We show that theta extends to every overgroup if and only if Z(N) <= Ker(the…

SETH-based Lower Bound for Dynamic Degeneracy

Konrad Majewski, Michał Pilipczuk

In this work, we consider the problem of maintaining an approximate value of degeneracy of a given dynamic -vertex graph updated by edge insertions and deletions. From the w…

Dynamic domination and independence in sparse graphs

Bartłomiej Bosek, Wojciech Nadara, Michał Pilipczuk +1

Let be a class of graphs of bounded expansion and be fixed. We give a dynamic data structure that for a given dynamic graph , updated by edge i…

Fatness and Flatness

Arnold Filtser, Hung Le, Nikolas Mählmann +2

Fat minors are the metric analog of graph minors that are tailored to the analysis of metric (edge-weighted) graphs and, more generally, metric spaces having a suitable notion of s…

Neighborhood Complexity and Radius-1 Merge-Width in Monadically Dependent Graph Classes

Jan Dreier, Nikolas Mählmann, Rose McCarty +2

Monadic dependence is a proposed structural dividing line for fixed-parameter tractability of first-order model checking on hereditary graph classes. A graph class is \emph{monadic…

A coarse block-cut tree theorem

Júlia Baligács, Václav Blažej, Jadwiga Czyżewska +2

We prove a coarse analogue of the classic fact that every graph can be decomposed along its cut-vertices into -connected components. Precisely, we prove that for every graph …

A coarse Menger's Theorem for planar and bounded genus graphs

Václav Blažej, Michał Pilipczuk, Evangelos Protopapas

Menger's Theorem is a fundamental result in graph theory. It states that if in a graph with distinguished sets of terminal vertices and there are no pairwise vertex…

Dynamic Detours

Daniel Dadush, Michał Pilipczuk, Amadeus Reinald +2

Fix a parameter . We give dynamic data structures that for a fully dynamic undirected graph , updated over time by edge insertions and edge deletions, can answe…

Coarse Balanced Separators in Fat-Minor-Free Graphs

Édouard Bonnet, Hung Le, Marcin Pilipczuk +1

Fat minors are a coarse analogue of graph minors where the subgraphs modeling vertices and edges of the embedded graph are required to be distant from each other, instead of just b…

Pattern-Sparse Tree Decompositions in -Minor-Free Graphs

Dániel Marx, Marcin Pilipczuk, Michał Pilipczuk

Given an -minor-free graph and an integer , our main technical contribution is sampling in randomized polynomial time an induced subgraph of and a tree decomposi…

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…

Variants of Merge-Width and Applications

Karolina Drabik, Maël Dumas, Colin Geniet +3

Merge-width is a recently introduced family of graph parameters that unifies treewidth, clique-width, twin-width, and generalised colouring numbers. We prove the equivalence of sev…

Dynamic data structures for twin-ordered matrices

Bartłomiej Bosek, Jadwiga Czyżewska, Evangelos Kipouridis +4

We present a dynamic data structure for representing binary matrices that are -twin-ordered, for a~fixed parameter . Our structure supports cell queries and singl…

Finding large sparse induced subgraphs in graphs of small (but not very small) tree-independence number

Daniel Lokshtanov, Michał Pilipczuk, Paweł Rzążewski

The independence number of a tree decomposition is the size of a largest independent set contained in a single bag. The tree-independence number of a graph is the minimum indep…

Efficient reversal of transductions of sparse graph classes

Jan Dreier, Jakub Gajarský, Michał Pilipczuk

(First-order) transductions are a basic notion capturing graph modifications that can be described in first-order logic. In this work, we propose an efficient algorithmic method to…
