Block Elimination Distance
(Springer Japan Kk, 2022) Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Giannopoulou, Archontia C.; Stamoulis, Giannos; Thilikos, Dimitrios M.
We introduce the parameter of block elimination distance as a measure of how close a graph is to some particular graph class. Formally, given a graph class g, the class B(G) contains all graphs whose blocks belong to G and the class A(G) contains all graphs where the removal of a vertex creates a graph in G. Given a hereditary graph class G, we recursively define G((k)) so that G((0)) = B(G) and, if k >= 1 G((k)) B(A(G((k-1))) ) N We show that, for every nontrivial hereditary class g, the problem of deciding whether G is an element of G((k)) is NP-complete. We focus on the case where G is minor-closed and we study the minor obstruction set of G((k)) i.e., the minor-minimal graphs not in G((k)). We prove that the size of the obstructions of G((k)) is upper bounded by some explicit function ofk and the maximum size of a minor obstruction of G. This implies that the problem of deciding whether G is an element of G((k)) is constructively fixed parameter tractable, when parameterized by k. Finally, we give two graph operations that generate members of G((k)) from members of G((k -1)) and we prove that this set of operations is complete for the class O of outerplanar graphs.Please check and confirm if the authors Given and Family names have been correctly identified for author znur YaYar Diner.

On List K-Coloring Convex Bipartite Graphs
(Springer Nature, 2021) Diaz, Josep; Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Diner, Öznur Yaşar; Serna, Maria; Oriol, Serra
List k-Coloring (Lik-Col) is the decision problem asking if a given graph admits a proper coloring compatible with a given list assignment to its vertices with colors in {1, 2, …, k}. The problem is known to be NP-hard even for k = 3 within the class of 3-regular planar bipartite graphs and for k = 4 within the class of chordal bipartite graphs. In 2015 Huang, Johnson and Paulusma asked for the complexity of Li 3-Col in the class of chordal bipartite graphs. In this paper, we give a partial answer to this question by showing that Lik-Col is polynomial in the class of convex bipartite graphs. We show first that biconvex bipartite graphs admit a multichain ordering, extending the classes of graphs where a polynomial algorithm of Enright et al. (SIAM J Discrete Math 28(4):1675–1685, 2014) can be applied to the problem. We provide a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the Lik-Col in the class of convex bipartite graphs. Finally, we show how our algorithm can be modified to solve the more general LiH-Col problem on convex bipartite graphs.
The Multicolored Graph Realization Problem
(Elsevier B.V., 2022) Díaz, J.; Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Diner, Ö.Y.; Serna, M.; Serra, O.
We introduce the multicolored graph realization problem (MGR). The input to this problem is a colored graph (G,?), i.e., a graph G together with a coloring ? on its vertices. We associate each colored graph (G,?) with a cluster graph (G?) in which, after collapsing all vertices with the same color to a node, we remove multiple edges and self-loops. A set of vertices S is multicolored when S has exactly one vertex from each color class. The MGR problem is to decide whether there is a multicolored set S so that, after identifying each vertex in S with its color class, G[S] coincides with G?. The MGR problem is related to the well-known class of generalized network problems, most of which are NP-hard, like the generalized Minimum Spanning Tree problem. The MGR is a generalization of the multicolored clique problem, which is known to be W[1]-hard when parameterized by the number of colors. Thus, MGR remains W[1]-hard, when parameterized by the size of the cluster graph. These results imply that the MGR problem is W[1]-hard when parameterized by any graph parameter on G?, among which lies treewidth. Consequently, we look at the instances of the problem in which both the number of color classes and the treewidth of G? are unbounded. We consider three natural such graph classes: chordal graphs, convex bipartite graphs and 2-dimensional grid graphs. We show that MGR is NP-complete when G? is either chordal, biconvex bipartite, complete bipartite or a 2-dimensional grid. Our reductions show that the problem remains hard even when the maximum number of vertices in a color class is 3. In the case of the grid, the hardness holds even for graphs with bounded degree. We provide a complexity dichotomy with respect to cluster size. © 2022 The Author(s)
On minimum vertex bisection of random d-regular graphs
(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2024) Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Diner, Oznur Yasar; Serna, Maria; Serra, Oriol
Minimum vertex bisection is a graph partitioning problem in which the aim is to find a partition of the vertices into two equal parts that minimizes the number of vertices in one partition set that have a neighbor in the other set. In this work we are interested in providing asymptotically almost surely upper bounds on the minimum vertex bisection of random d -regular graphs, for constant values of d . Our approach is based on analyzing a greedy algorithm by using the differential equation method. In this way, we obtain the first known non -trivial upper bounds for the vertex bisection number in random regular graphs. The numerical approximations of these theoretical bounds are compared with the emprical ones, and with the lower bounds from Kolesnik and Wormald (2014) [30]. (c) 2024 The Author(s).

List Coloring Based Algorithm for the Futoshiki Puzzle
(Ramazan Yaman, 2024) Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Şen, Banu Baklan; Diner, Oznur Yaşar
Given a graph G=(V, E) and a list of available colors L(v) for each vertex v\\in V, where L(v) \\subseteq {1, 2, ..., k}, List k-Coloring refers to the problem of assigning colors to the vertices of $G$ so that each vertex receives a color from its own list and no two neighboring vertices receive the same color. The decision version of the problem, List k-Coloring, is NP-complete even for bipartite graphs. As an application of list coloring problem we are interested in the Futoshiki Problem. Futoshiki is an NP-complete Latin Square Completion Type Puzzle. Considering Futoshiki puzzle as a constraint satisfaction problem, we first give a list coloring based algorithm for it which is efficient for small boards of fixed size. To thoroughly investigate the efficiency of our algorithm in comparison with a proposed backtracking-based algorithm, we conducted a substantial number of computational experiments at different difficulty levels, considering varying numbers of inequality constraints and given values. Our results from the extensive range of experiments indicate that the list coloring-based algorithm is much more efficient.
Contraction and Deletion Blockers for Perfect Graphs and H-Free Graphs
(Elsevier Science, 2018) Diner, Öznur Yaşar; Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Paulusma, Daniel; Picouleau, Christophe; Ries, Bernard
We study the following problem: for given integers d k and graph G can we reduce some fixed graph parameter pi of G by at least d via at most k graph operations from some fixed set S? As parameters we take the chromatic number chi clique number omega and independence number alpha and as operations we choose edge contraction ec and vertex deletion vd. We determine the complexity of this problem for S = {ec} and S = {vd} and pi is an element of{chi omega alpha} for a number of subclasses of perfect graphs. We use these results to determine the complexity of the problem for S = {ec} and S = {vd} and pi is an element of{chi omega alpha} restricted to H-free graphs. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Formally, given a graph class G, the class B(G) contains all graphs whose blocks belong to G and the class A(G) contains all graphs where the removal of a vertex creates a graph in G.

The block elimination distance of a graph G to a graph class G is the minimum k such that G? G( k ) and can be seen as an analog of the elimination distance parameter, defined in [J. Bulian & A. Dawar. Algorithmica, 75(2):363–382, 2016], with the difference that connectivity is now replaced by biconnectivity. We show that, for every non-trivial hereditary class G, the problem of deciding whether G? G( k ) is NP-complete. We focus on the case where G is minor-closed and we study the minor obstruction set of G( k ) i.e., the minor-minimal graphs not in G( k ). We prove that the size of the obstructions of G( k ) is upper bounded by some explicit function of k and the maximum size of a minor obstruction of G. This implies that the problem of deciding whether G? G( k ) is constructively fixed parameter tractable, when parameterized by k. Our results are based on a structural characterization of the obstructions of B(G), relatively to the obstructions of G. Finally, we give two graph operations that generate members of G( k ) from members of G( k - 1 ) and we prove that this set of operations is complete for the class O of outerplanar graphs. This yields the identification of all members O? G( k ), for every k? N and every non-trivial minor-closed graph class G. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
Contraction Blockers for Graphs With Forbidden Induced Paths
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2015) Diner, Öznur Yaşar; Yaşar Diner, Öznur; Paulusma, Daniel; Picouleau, Christophe; Ries, Bernard
We consider the following problem: can a certain graph parameter of some given graph be reduced by at least d for some integer d via at most k edge contractions for some given integer k? We examine three graph parameters: the chromatic number clique number and independence number. For each of these graph parameters we show that when d is part of the input this problem is polynomial-time solvable on P-4-free graphs and NP-complete as well as W[1]-hard with parameter d for split graphs. As split graphs form a subclass of P-5-free graphs both results together give a complete complexity classification for P-l-free graphs. The W[1]-hardness result implies that it is unlikely that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable for split graphs with parameter d. But we do show on the positive side that the problem is polynomial-time solvable for each parameter on split graphs if d is fixed i.e. not part of the input. We also initiate a study into other subclasses of perfect graphs namely cobipartite graphs and interval graphs.
