Both interactive visualization and computational analysis methods are useful for data studies and an integration of both approaches is promising to successfully combine the benefits of both methodologies. In interactive ...
• #### Bisection of Bounded Treewidth Graphs by Convolutions ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
In the Bisection problem, we are given as input an edge-weighted graph G. The task is to find a partition of V(G) into two parts A and B such that ||A| - |B|| <= 1 and the sum of the weights of the edges with one endpoint ...
• #### Personalized Sketch-Based Brushing in Scatterplots ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
Brushing is at the heart of most modern visual analytics solutions and effective and efficient brushing is crucial for successful interactive data exploration and analysis. As the user plays a central role in brushing, ...
• #### Complexity of the Steiner Network Problem with Respect to the Number of Terminals ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
In the Directed Steiner Network problem we are given an arc-weighted digraph G, a set of terminals T subseteq V(G) with |T|=q, and an (unweighted) directed request graph R with V(R)=T. Our task is to output a subgraph H ...
• #### On KDE-based brushing in scatterplots and how it compares to CNN-based brushing ﻿

(Chapter, 2019)
In this paper, we investigate to which degree the human should be involved into the model design and how good the empirical model can be with more careful design. To find out, we extended our previously published Mahalanobis ...
• #### Parameterized complexity classification of deletion to list matrix-partition for low-order matrices ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
Given a symmetric l x l matrix M=(m_{i,j}) with entries in {0,1,*}, a graph G and a function L : V(G) - > 2^{[l]} (where [l] = {1,2,...,l}), a list M-partition of G with respect to L is a partition of V(G) into l parts, ...
• #### Balanced judicious bipartition is fixed-parameter tractable ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
The family of judicious partitioning problems, introduced by Bollobás and Scott to the field of extremal combinatorics, has been extensively studied from a structural point of view for over two decades. This rich realm of ...
• #### Packing cycles faster than Erdos-Posa ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
The Cycle Packing problem asks whether a given undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles. Since the publication of the classic Erdös--Pósa theorem in 1965, this problem received significant attention ...
• #### Rank vertex cover as a natural problem for algebraic compression ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
The question of the existence of a polynomial kernelization of the Vertex Cover Above LP problem was a long-standing, notorious open problem in parameterized complexity. Some years ago, the breakthrough work by Kratsch and ...
• #### Packing arc-disjoint cycles in tournaments ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
A tournament is a directed graph in which there is a single arc between every pair of distinct vertices. Given a tournament T on n vertices, we explore the classical and parameterized complexity of the problems of determining ...
• #### Parameterized complexity of conflict-free matchings and paths ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
An input to a conflict-free variant of a classical problem Gamma, called Conflict-Free Gamma, consists of an instance I of Gamma coupled with a graph H, called the conflict graph. A solution to Conflict-Free Gamma in (I,H) ...
• #### Connecting the Dots (with Minimum Crossings) ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
We study a prototype Crossing Minimization problem, defined as follows. Let F be an infinite family of (possibly vertex-labeled) graphs. Then, given a set P of (possibly labeled) n points in the Euclidean plane, a collection ...
• #### Parameterized streaming algorithms for min-ones d-SAT ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
In this work, we initiate the study of the Min-Ones d-SAT problem in the parameterized streaming model. An instance of the problem consists of a d-CNF formula F and an integer k, and the objective is to determine if F has ...
