Let $P$ be a path graph of $n$ vertices embedded in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding a new edge to $P$ so that the radius of the resulting graph is minimized, where any center is constrained to be one of the vertices of $P$. Previously, the continuous version of the problem where a center may be a point in the interior of an edge of the graph was studied and a linear-time algorithm was known. Our discrete version of the problem has not been studied before. We present a linear-time algorithm for the problem.

We consider the problem of computing the diameter of a unicycle graph (i.e., a graph with a unique cycle). We present an O(n) time algorithm for the problem, where n is the number of vertices of the graph. This improves the previous best O(n log n) t ime solution [Oh and Ahn, ISAAC 2016]. Using this algorithm as a subroutine, we solve the problem of adding a shortcut to a tree so that the diameter of the new graph (which is a unicycle graph) is minimized; our algorithm takes O(n^2 log n) time and O(n) space. The previous best algorithms solve the problem in O(n^2 log^3 n) time and O(n) space [Oh and Ahn, ISAAC 2016], or in O(n^2) time and O(n^2) space [Bil`o, ISAAC 2018].
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k ge 1$, a $k$-hop dominating set $D$ of $G$ is a subset of $V$, such that, for every vertex $v in V$, there exists a node $u in D$ whose hop-distance from $v$ is at most $k$. A $k$-hop dominating set of minimu m cardinality is called a minimum $k$-hop dominating set. In this paper, we present linear-time algorithms that find a minimum $k$-hop dominating set in unicyclic and cactus graphs. To achieve this, we show that the $k$-dominating set problem on unicycle graph reduces to the piercing circular arcs problem, and show a linear-time algorithm for piercing sorted circular arcs, which improves the best known $O(nlog n)$-time algorithm.

In this article, we devise a concise algorithm for computing BOCP. Our method is simple, easy-to-implement but without loss of efficiency. Given two circular-arc polygons with $m$ and $n$ edges respectively, our method runs in $O(m+n+(l+k)log l)$ tim e, using $O(m+n+k)$ space, where $k$ is the number of intersections, and $l$ is the number of {edge}s. Our algorithm has the power to approximate to linear complexity when $k$ and $l$ are small. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is also validated through empirical study.
The optimization version of the Unique Label Cover problem is at the heart of the Unique Games Conjecture which has played an important role in the proof of several tight inapproximability results. In recent years, this problem has been also studied extensively from the point of view of parameterized complexity. Cygan et al. [FOCS 2012] proved that this problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) and Wahlstrom [SODA 2014] gave an FPT algorithm with an improved parameter dependence. Subsequently, Iwata, Wahlstrom and Yoshida [2014] proved that the edge version of Unique Label Cover can be solved in linear FPT-time. That is, there is an FPT algorithm whose dependence on the input-size is linear. However, such an algorithm for the node version of the problem was left as an open problem. In this paper, we resolve this question by presenting the first linear-time FPT algorithm for Node Unique Label Cover.
In the Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem, the input is a directed graph $D$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and an integer $k$. The objective is to determine whether there exists a set of at most $k$ vertices intersecting every directed cycl e of $D$. Whether or not DFVS admits a fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm was considered the most important open problem in parameterized complexity until Chen, Liu, Lu, OSullivan and Razgon [JACM 2008] answered the question in the affirmative. They gave an algorithm for the problem with running time $O(k!4^kk^4nm)$. Since then, no faster algorithm for the problem has been found. In this paper, we give an algorithm for DFVS with running time $O(k!4^kk^5(n+m))$. Our algorithm is the first algorithm for DFVS with linear dependence on input size. Furthermore, the asymptotic dependence of the running time of our algorithm on the parameter $k$ matches up to a factor $k$ the algorithm of Chen, Liu, Lu, OSullivan and Razgon. On the way to designing our algorithm for DFVS, we give a general methodology to shave off a factor of $n$ from iterative-compression based algorithms for a few other well-studied covering problems in parameterized complexity. We demonstrate the applicability of this technique by speeding up by a factor of $n$, the current best FPT algorithms for Multicut [STOC 2011, SICOMP 2014] and Directed Subset Feedback Vertex Set [ICALP 2012, TALG 2014].
