A survey of ‐boundedness

A Scott, P Seymour - Journal of Graph Theory, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
If a graph has bounded clique number and sufficiently large chromatic number, what can we
say about its induced subgraphs? András Gyárfás made a number of challenging …

Quasi-polynomial-time algorithm for Independent Set in Pt-free graphs via shrinking the space of induced paths

M Pilipczuk, M Pilipczuk, P Rzążewski - Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms …, 2021 - SIAM
In a recent breakthrough work, Gartland and Lokshtanov [FOCS 2020] showed a quasi-
polynomial-time algorithm for Maximum Weight Independent Set in Pt-free graphs, that is …

[HTML][HTML] Treewidth versus clique number. III. Tree-independence number of graphs with a forbidden structure

C Dallard, M Milanič, K Štorgel - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2024 - Elsevier
We continue the study of (tw, ω)-bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in
which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, with the goal of …

Induced subgraphs of bounded treewidth and the container method

T Abrishami, M Chudnovsky, M Pilipczuk… - SIAM Journal on …, 2024 - SIAM
A hole in a graph is an induced cycle of length at least 4. A hole is long if its length is at least
5. By, we denote a path on vertices. In this paper, we give polynomial-time algorithms for the …

Polynomial-time algorithm for maximum independent set in bounded-degree graphs with no long induced claws

T Abrishami, M Chudnovsky, C Dibek… - Proceedings of the 2022 …, 2022 - SIAM
For graphs G and H, we say that G is H-free if it does not contain H as an induced subgraph.
Already in the early 1980s Alekseev observed that if H is connected, then the Max Weight …

[HTML][HTML] Treewidth versus clique number. II. Tree-independence number

C Dallard, M Milanič, K Štorgel - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2024 - Elsevier
In 2020, we initiated a systematic study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be
large due to the presence of a large clique, which we call (tw, ω)-bounded. The family of (tw …

Quasi-polynomial time approximation schemes for the maximum weight independent set problem in H-free graphs

M Chudnovsky, M Pilipczuk, M Pilipczuk… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
In the Maximum Independent Set problem we are asked to find a set of pairwise
nonadjacent vertices in a given graph with the maximum possible cardinality. In general …

Three-in-a-tree in near linear time

KY Lai, HI Lu, M Thorup - Proceedings of the 52nd Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
The three-in-a-tree problem is to determine if a simple undirected graph contains an induced
subgraph which is a tree connecting three given vertices. Based on a beautiful …

E Bargiacchi, T Verstraeten, DM Roijers - AAMAS, 2021 - cris.vub.be
We present a novel model-based algorithm, Cooperative Prioritized Sweeping, for sample-
efficient learning in large multi-agent Markov decision processes. Our approach leverages …
