• Computing cutwidth and pathwidth of semi-complete digraphs via degree orderings 

      Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      The notions of cutwidth and pathwidth of digraphs play a central role in the containment theory for tournaments, or more generally semi-complete digraphs, developed in a recent series of papers by Chudnovsky, Fradkin, Kim, ...
    • Exploring Subexponential Parameterized Complexity of Completion Problems 

      Drange, Pål Grønås; Fomin, Fedor; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Villanger, Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-19)
      Let F be a family of graphs. In the F-Completion problem, we are given an n-vertex graph G and an integer k as input, and asked whether at most k edges can be added to G so that the resulting graph does not contain a graph ...
    • Largest chordal and interval subgraphs faster than 2n 

      Bliznets, Ivan; Fomin, Fedor; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Villanger, Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-22)
      We prove that in a graph with n vertices, induced chordal and interval subgraphs with the maximum number of vertices can be found in time O(2λn) for some λ< 1. These are the first algorithms breaking the trivial 2nnO(1) ...
    • On cutwidth parameterized by vertex cover 

      Cygan, Marek; Lokshtanov, Daniel; Pilipczuk, Marcin; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Saurabh, Saket (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04)
      We study the CUTWIDTH problem, where the input is a graph G, and the objective is find a linear layout of the vertices that minimizes the maximum number of edges intersected by any vertical line inserted between two ...
    • Parameterized complexity of Eulerian deletion problems 

      Cygan, Marek; Pilipczuk, Marcin; Marx, Dániel; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Schlotter, Ildikó (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01)
      We study a family of problems where the goal is to make a graph Eulerian, i.e., connected and with all the vertices having even degrees, by a minimum number of deletions. We completely classify the parameterized complexity ...
    • Solving the 2-disjoint connected subgraphs problem faster than 2ⁿ 

      Cygan, Marek; Pilipczuk, Marcin; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Wojtaszczyk, Jakub Onufry (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)
      The 2-DISJOINT CONNECTED SUBGRAPHS problem, given a graph along with two disjoint sets of terminals Z1,Z2, asks whether it is possible to find disjoint sets A1,A2, such that Z1 ⊆ A1, Z2 ⊆ A2 and A1,A2 induce connected ...
    • Subexponential-time parameterized algorithm for Steiner tree on planar graphs 

      Pilipczuk, Marcin; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; van Leeuwen, Erik Jan; Sankowski, Piotr (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      The well-known bidimensionality theory provides a method for designing fast, subexponential-time parameterized algorithms for a vast number of NP-hard problems on sparse graph classes such as planar graphs, bounded genus ...
    • Tight bounds for parameterized complexity of Cluster Editing 

      Fomin, Fedor; Kratsch, Stefan; Pilipczuk, Marcin; Pilipczuk, Michal Pawel; Villanger, Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      In the Correlation Clustering problem, also known as Cluster Editing, we are given an undirected graph G and a positive integer k; the task is to decide whether G can be transformed into a cluster graph, i.e., a disjoint ...
    • Tournaments and Optimality: New Results in Parameterized Complexity
