Crown structures in a graph are defined and shown to be useful in kernelization algorithms for the classic vertex cover problem. Two vertex cover kernelization methods are discus...

The paper concerns graph spanners that are resistant to vertex or edge failures. Given a weighted undirected n-vertex graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, the subgraph H = (V, E ...

We localize and strengthen Katona’s idea of an edge-toughness to a local topological toughness. We disprove a conjecture of Katona concerning the connection between edgetoughnes...
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...

An induced matching in graph G is a matching which is an induced subgraph of G. Clearly, among two vertices with the same neighborhood (called twins) at most one is matched in any...
