      An undirected graph $G$ is $d$-degenerate if every subgraph of $G$ has a vertex of degree at most $d$. By the classical theorem of Erdös and Gallai from 1959, every graph of degeneracy $d>1$ contains a cycle of length at ...

      Bandyapadhyay, Sayan; Fomin, Fedor; Golovach, Petr; Lochet, William Alexandre; Purohit, Nidhi; Simonov, Kirill (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      k-means and k-median clustering are powerful unsupervised machine learning techniques. However, due to complicated dependencies on all the features, it is challenging to interpret the resulting cluster assignments. Moshkovitz, ...

      Fernau, Henning; Fomin, Fedor; Lokshtanov, Daniel; Raible, Daniel; Saurabh, Saket; Villanger, Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)
      The {\sc \(k\)-Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching, that is a rooted oriented spanning tree, with at least \(k\) leaves in a given digraph. The problem has recently received much attention from the ...
