The Parameter Report: An Orientation Guide for Data-Driven Parameterization

arXiv:2509.06880v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A strength of parameterized algorithmics is that each problem can be parameterized by an essentially inexhaustible set of parameters. Usually, the choice of the…

Canonization of a random graph by two matrix-vector multiplications

arXiv:2312.03686v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We show that a canonical labeling of a random $n$-vertex graph can be obtained by assigning to each vertex $x$ the triple $(w_1(x),w_2(x),w_3(x))$, where $w_k(x)$ is…

Laziness of Quantum Walks on Graphs

arXiv:2608.20739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The trace of the average mixing matrix of a quantum walk measures the "laziness" of the walk: the higher the trace, the more likely that the walker returns home in the…

Temporal Orienteering with Changing Fuel Costs

arXiv:2507.00728v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The problem Orienteering asks whether there exists a walk which visits a number of sites without exceeding some fuel budget. In the variant of the problem we consider,…

Structural Parameters for Dense Temporal Graphs

arXiv:2404.19453v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Temporal graphs provide a useful model for many real-world networks. Unfortunately the majority of algorithmic problems we might consider on such graphs are…

Stochastic Multi-Robot Monitoring on Graphs under Markovian Mobility

arXiv:2608.20618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a stochastic multi-robot monitoring problem on a connected graph $G=(V,E)$, where each robot moves according to a Markov chain on $G$ and monitors the closed…

Online Service with Per-Batch Maximum Delay

arXiv:2608.18577v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study online service with one maximum-waiting-time charge per service batch. The persistent server endpoint prevents a phase-by-phase comparison with the offline…

Forcing a unique minimum spanning tree and a unique shortest path

arXiv:2509.24309v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A forcing set $S$ in a combinatorial problem is a set of elements such that there is a unique solution that contains all the elements in $S$. An anti-forcing set is…

T-Robinson Spaces: Structure, Recognition, and Applications to Real Data

arXiv:2608.21248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study \emph{$T$-Robinson spaces}, a tree-based generalization of Robinson spaces in which every path of a compatible tree induces a Robinson subspace. This framework…

A note on efficient k-limited broadcast domination in graphs

arXiv:2608.20437v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An efficient $k$-limited dominating broadcast, or $k$-ELDB, is a $k$-limited broadcast in which every vertex is dominated exactly once. This notion brings together…
