Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time on Graphs with Excluded Minors
We prove that fixed-point logic with counting captures polynomial time on all classes of graphs with excluded minors. That is, for every class C of graphs such that some graph H is...

Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time on Chordal Graphs and Line Graphs
The question of whether there is a logic that captures polynomial time was formulated by Yuri Gurevich in 1988. It is still wide open and regarded as one of the main open problems...

New bounds on the edge number of a k-map graph
It is known that for every integer k ≥ 4, each k-map graph with n vertices has at most kn − 2k edges. Previously, it was open whether this bound is tight or not. We show that ...

Contractions of Planar Graphs in Polynomial Time
Abstract. We prove that for every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar graph can be contracted to H. We introduce contractions and topological min...
