Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
We study the properties of embeddings, multicommodity flows, and sparse cuts in minor-closed families of graphs which are also closed under 2-sums; this includes planar graphs, g...

Tree decompositions of graphs are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. Planar decompositions generalise tree decompositions by allowing an arbitrar...
We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...
A clustered graph has its vertices grouped into clusters in a hierarchical way via subset inclusion, thereby imposing a tree structure on the clustering relationship. The c-planari...
