Loops in reeb graphs of 2-manifolds
Given a Morse function over a 2-manifold with or without boundary, the Reeb graph is obtained by contracting the connected components of the level sets to points. We prove tight u...

On digraph coloring problems and treewidth duality
It is known that every constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) reduces, and is in fact polynomially equivalent, to a digraph coloring problem. By carefully analyzing the constructio...
