FPT Isomorphism Test for $F$-Free Tournaments

arXiv:2609.24804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that isomorphism of $F$-free tournaments can be solved in FPT time $f(k) \cdot n^{O(1)}$, where $k$ denotes the size of $F$, and $n$ denotes the size of the input…

Vertex Cover Interdiction in Bipartite Graphs

arXiv:2609.24624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the vertex cover interdiction problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, two integers $t$ and $k$ and a vertex subset $B\subseteq V$, and we are asked to find…

Optimal Analysis of Greedy for Stochastic Online Euclidean Matching

arXiv:2609.23947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Greedy for online metric matching with $n$ servers and $n$ requests sampled independently and uniformly from $[0,1]^d$. Servers are available initially, and…

Union-Find with Constant-Time Deletions Across the Optimal Worst-Case Tradeoff

arXiv:2609.22892v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider union-find with deletions, where the representation and the cost of a query must depend on the current number of live elements rather than on the number of…

Hardness of Online Directed Steiner Network

arXiv:2609.22605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the Directed Steiner Network (DSN) problem we are given a directed graph and a set of demands $(s_i,t_i)$, and asked to find a cheap subgraph connecting each terminal…

A Polynomial Kernel for Planar Directed Feedback Vertex Set

arXiv:2609.23669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Directed Feedback Vertex Set problem (DFVS) asks whether a digraph can be made acyclic by deleting at most $k$ vertices. Whether DFVS admits a polynomial kernel…
