Breaking the $2^n$ barrier for directed hamiltonicity

We give a randomized algorithm for Directed Hamiltonian Cycle on $n$-vertex directed graphs that runs in time $O^*((375/196)^n)=O^*(1.9133^n)$. For general directed graphs, this is the first improvement in the exponential base over the classical $O^*(2^n)$-time algorithms of Bellman and Held--Karp (1962). To obtain thi...

Approximate Counting of $k$-Paths in $O^*(2^k)$ Time

A randomized algorithm returns a $(1\pm\varepsilon)-approximation with failure probability at most $\delta$ in $O^*(2^k\varepsilon^{-2}\log(1/\delta)$ time.

Graph Coloring with Color Preferences

We study graph coloring with color preferences, in which each vertex ranks the available colors. In addition to assigning different colors to adjacent vertices, we require the coloring to be stable: no group of vertices can cyclically exchange their assigned colors so that each strictly prefers its new color to its ori...

A Single-Exponential FPT Algorithm for 2-Vertex-Connectivity Augmentation

We study restricted-link augmentation to $2$-vertex-connectivity. An instance consists of a graph $G$, possibly disconnected, a set $L$ of admissible links on its vertices, integer link costs in $\{1,\dots,W\}$, and an integer $k$; the task is to add at most $k$ links of minimum total cost so that the resulting multigr...
