We present a method for reducing the treewidth of a graph while preserving all the minimal s−t separators. This technique turns out to be very useful in the design of parameteriz...
ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

For a connected graph G = (V, E), a subset U ⊆ V is called a k-cut if U disconnects G, and the subgraph induced by U contains exactly k (≥ 1) components. More specifically, a ...
We present the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Minimum Independent Dominating Set problem in graphs of polynomially bounded growth. Graphs of bounded gr...
