We consider a generic algorithmic paradigm that we call progressive exploration, which can be used to develop simple and efficient parameterized graph algorithms. We identify two model-theoretic properties that lead to efficient progressive algorithms, namely variants of the Helly property and stability. We demonstrate our approach by giving linear-time fixed-parameter algorithms for the distance-r dominating set problem (parameterized by the solution size) in a wide variety of restricted graph… Expand

It is shown that the directed Steiner tree problem is fixed-parameter tractable on any class of directed bounded expansion parameterized by the number of non-terminals plus the maximal diameter in the subgraph induced by the terminals, and thereby highlights a rich algorithmic structure theory ofdirected bounded expansion classes.

Rankwidth meets stability
• Computer Science, Mathematics

Monadic stability and monadic dependence extend classical structural notions for graphs by viewing them in a wider, model-theoretical context by proving that classes with bounded rankwidth excluding some half-graph as a semi-induced subgraph are linearly $\chi$-bounded. Expand
Parameterized Distributed Complexity Theory: A logical approach
This work defines the levels of the Distributed-W-hierarchy and the Distributes that have first-order model-checking problems as their complete problems via suitable reductions and follows a logical approach that leads to a more robust theory. Expand
Clustering powers of sparse graphs

It is proved that if G is a sparse graph and d in N is fixed, then thedth power of G can be partitioned into cliques so that contracting each of these clique to a single vertex again yields a sparse graphs. Expand
Constant Round Distributed Domination on Graph Classes with Bounded Expansion

The parameterized complexity of the Connected Dominating Set Reconfiguration problem is studied, and it is shown that the CDS-R parameterized by $k$ is fixed-parameter tractable, and in fact admits a polynomial kernel on planar graphs. Expand
Linear rankwidth meets stability
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• SODA
• 2020
This work takes both views on classes with bounded linear rankwidth and proves structural and model theoretic properties of these classes, and shows a strong link between these graph classes considered from the point of view of structural graph theory and finite model theory. Expand

It is observed that this recent tameness notion from (algorithmic) graph theory is essentially the earlier stability theoretic notion of superflatness, and for subgraph-closed classes of graphs it is proved equivalence to stability and to not having the independence property. Expand
