The maximum/minimum bisection problems are, given an edge-weighted graph, to find a bipartition of the vertex set into two sets whose sizes differ by at most one, such that the total weight of edges between the two sets is maximized/minimized. Although these two problems are known to be NP-hard, there is an efficient algorithm for bounded-treewidth graphs. In particular, Jansen et al. (SIAM J. Comput. 2005) gave an $O(2^tn^3)$-time algorithm when given a tree decomposition of width $t$ of the input graph, where $n$ is the number of vertices of the input graph. Eiben et al. (ESA 2019) improved the dependency of $n$ in the running time by giving an $O(8^tt^5n^2log n)$-time algorithm. Moreover, they showed that there is no $O(n^{2-varepsilon})$-time algorithm for trees under some reasonable complexity assumption. In this paper, we show an $O(2^t(tn)^2)$-time algorithm for both problems, which is asymptotically tight to their conditional lower bound. We also show that the exponential dependency of the treewidth is asymptotically optimal under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. Finally, we discuss the (in)tractability of both problems with respect to special graph classes.

The Subgraph Isomorphism problem is of considerable importance in computer science. We examine the problem when the pattern graph H is of bounded treewidth, as occurs in a variety of applications. This problem has a well-known algorithm via color-cod
ing that runs in time $O(n^{tw(H)+1})$ [Alon, Yuster, Zwick95], where $n$ is the number of vertices of the host graph $G$. While there are pattern graphs known for which Subgraph Isomorphism can be solved in an improved running time of $O(n^{tw(H)+1-varepsilon})$ or even faster (e.g. for $k$-cliques), it is not known whether such improvements are possible for all patterns. The only known lower bound rules out time $n^{o(tw(H) / log(tw(H)))}$ for any class of patterns of unbounded treewidth assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis [Marx07]. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of maximally hard pattern graphs $H$ that require time $n^{tw(H)+1-o(1)}$. Specifically, under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), a standard assumption from fine-grained complexity theory, we prove the following asymptotic statement for large treewidth $t$: For any $varepsilon > 0$ there exists $t ge 3$ and a pattern graph $H$ of treewidth $t$ such that Subgraph Isomorphism on pattern $H$ has no algorithm running in time $O(n^{t+1-varepsilon})$. Under the more recent 3-uniform Hyperclique hypothesis, we even obtain tight lower bounds for each specific treewidth $t ge 3$: For any $t ge 3$ there exists a pattern graph $H$ of treewidth $t$ such that for any $varepsilon>0$ Subgraph Isomorphism on pattern $H$ has no algorithm running in time $O(n^{t+1-varepsilon})$. In addition to these main results, we explore (1) colored and uncolored problem variants (and why they are equivalent for most cases), (2) Subgraph Isomorphism for $tw < 3$, (3) Subgraph Isomorphism parameterized by pathwidth, and (4) a weighted problem variant.
We initiate the study of coresets for clustering in graph metrics, i.e., the shortest-path metric of edge-weighted graphs. Such clustering problems are essential to data analysis and used for example in road networks and data visualization. A coreset
is a compact summary of the data that approximately preserves the clustering objective for every possible center set, and it offers significant efficiency improvements in terms of running time, storage, and communication, including in streaming and distributed settings. Our main result is a near-linear time construction of a coreset for k-Median in a general graph $G$, with size $O_{epsilon, k}(mathrm{tw}(G))$ where $mathrm{tw}(G)$ is the treewidth of $G$, and we complement the construction with a nearly-tight size lower bound. The construction is based on the framework of Feldman and Langberg [STOC 2011], and our main technical contribution, as required by this framework, is a uniform bound of $O(mathrm{tw}(G))$ on the shattering dimension under any point weights. We validate our coreset on real-world road networks, and our scalable algorithm constructs tiny coresets with high accuracy, which translates to a massive speedup of existing approximation algorithms such as local search for graph k-Median.
We give polynomial-time approximation schemes for monotone maximization problems expressible in terms of distances (up to a fixed upper bound) and efficiently solvable in graphs of bounded treewidth. These schemes apply in all fractionally treewidth-
fragile graph classes, a property that is true for many natural graph classes with sublinear separators. We also provide quasipolynomial-time approximation schemes for these problems in all classes with sublinear separators.
In this paper, we prove that, given a clique-width $k$-expression of an $n$-vertex graph, textsc{Hamiltonian Cycle} can be solved in time $n^{mathcal{O}(k)}$. This improves the naive algorithm that runs in time $n^{mathcal{O}(k^2)}$ by Espelage et al
. (WG 2001), and it also matches with the lower bound result by Fomin et al. that, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails, there is no algorithm running in time $n^{o(k)}$ (SIAM. J. Computing 2014). We present a technique of representative sets using two-edge colored multigraphs on $k$ vertices. The essential idea is that, for a two-edge colored multigraph, the existence of an Eulerian trail that uses edges with different colors alternately can be determined by two information: the number of colored edges incident with each vertex, and the connectedness of the multigraph. With this idea, we avoid the bottleneck of the naive algorithm, which stores all the possible multigraphs on $k$ vertices with at most $n$ edges.
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a positive integer $tgeq2$, the task in the vertex cover $P_t$ ($VCP_t$) problem is to find a minimum subset of vertices $Fsubseteq V$ such that every path of order $t$ in $G$ contains at least one vertex from $F$. The $VC
P_t$ problem is NP-complete for any integer $tgeq2$ and has many applications in real world. Recently, the authors presented a dynamic programming algorithm running in time $4^pcdot n^{O(1)}$ for the $VCP_3$ problem on $n$-vertex graphs with treewidth $p$. In this paper, we propose an improvement of it and improved the time-complexity to $3^pcdot n^{O(1)}$. The connected vertex cover $P_3$ ($CVCP_3$) problem is the connected variation of the $VCP_3$ problem where $G[F]$ is required to be connected. Using the Cut&Count technique, we give a randomized algorithm with runtime $4^pcdot n^{O(1)}$ for the $CVCP_3$ problem on $n$-vertex graphs with treewidth $p$.
