Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a graph G, a pebbling move consists of taking two pebbles off some vertex v and putting one of them back on a vertex adjacent t...
Abstract. Bidimensionality provides a tool for developing subexponential fixed-parameter algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems on graph families that exclude a minor....

: Let G be a toroidal graph without cycles of a fixed length k, and l(G) the list chromatic number of G. We establish tight upper bounds Contract grant sponsor: RGC; Contract grant...
A set M of edges of a graph G is a matching if no two edges in M are incident to the same vertex. The matching number of G is the maximum cardinality of a matching of G. A set S o...
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...
