A book embedding of a graph is a drawing that maps vertices onto a line and edges to simple pairwise non-crossing curves drawn into "pages", which are half-planes bounded by that line. Two-page book embeddin...

We study several problems related to graph modification problems under connectivity constraints from the perspective of parameterized complexity: (Weighted) Biconnectivity Deletion, where we are tasked with deleting k edges while preserving biconnectivity in an undirected graph, Vertexdeletion Preserving Strong Connectivity, where we want to maintain strong connectivity of a digraph while deleting exactly k vertices, and Path-contraction Preserving Strong Connectivity, in which the operation of path contraction on arcs is used instead. The parameterized tractability of this last problem was posed in [Bang-Jensen and Yeo, Discrete Applied Math 2008] as an open question and we answer it here in the negative: both variants of preserving strong connectivity are W[1]-hard. Preserving biconnectivity, on the other hand, turns out to be fixed parameter tractable (FPT) and we provide an FPT algorithm that solves Weighted Biconnectivity Deletion. Further, we show that the unweighted case even admits a randomized polynomial kernel. All our results provide further interesting data points for the systematic study of connectivitypreservation constraints in the parameterized setting.
Inspired by the increasingly popular research on extending partial graph drawings, we propose a new perspective on the traditional and arguably most important geometric graph parameter, the crossing number. Specifical...

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a central and generic computational problem which provides a common framework for many theoretical and practical applications. A central line of research is concerned with the identification of classes of instances for which CSP can be solved in polynomial time; such classes are often called "islands of tractability." A prominent way of defining islands of tractability for CSP is to restrict the relations that may occur in the constraints to a fixed set, called a constraint language, whereas a constraint language is conservative if it contains all unary relations. Schaefer's famous Dichotomy Theorem (STOC 1978) identifies all islands of tractability in terms of tractable constraint languages over a Boolean domain of values. Since then many extensions and generalizations of this result have been obtained. Recently, Bulatov (TOCL 2011, JACM 2013) gave a full characterization of all islands of tractability for CSP and the counting version #CSP that are defined in terms of conservative constraint languages. This paper addresses the general limit of the mentioned tractability results for CSP and #CSP, that they only apply to instances where all constraints belong to a single tractable language (in general, the union of two tractable languages isn't tractable). We show that we can overcome this limitation as long as we keep some control of how constraints over the various considered tractable languages interact with each other. For this purpose we utilize the notion of a strong backdoor of a CSP instance, as introduced by Williams et al. (IJCAI 2003), which is a set of variables that when instantiated moves the instance to an island of tractability, i.e., to a tractable class of instances. We consider strong backdoors into scattered classes, consisting of CSP instances where each connected component belongs entirely to some class from a list of tractable classes. Figuratively speaking, a scattered class constitutes an archipela
