We study (vertex-disjoint) packings of paths of length two (i.e., of P2's) in graphs under a parameterized perspective. Starting from a maximal P2-packing P of size j we use e...
We divide a string into k segments, each with only one sort of symbols, so as to minimize the total number of exceptions. Motivations come from machine learning and data mining. F...
The Satisfactory Partition problem consists in deciding if a given graph has a partition of its vertex set into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neigh...
Given a graph G, a function f : V (G) {1, 2, . . . , k} is a k-ranking of G if f (u) = f (v) implies every u - v path contains a vertex w such that f (w) > f (u). A k-ranking ...

Background: The search for cluster structure in microarray datasets is a base problem for the so-called “-omic sciences”. A difficult problem in clustering is how to handle da...
