It is well known that a graph with m edges can be made triangle-free by removing (slightly less than) m/2 edges. On the other hand, there are many classes of graphs which are hard to make triangle-free, in the sense that it is necessary to remove roughly m/2 edges in order to eliminate all triangles.We prove that dense graphs that are hard to make triangle-free have a large packing of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles. In particular, they have more than m(1/4+cβ) pairwise edge-disjoint triangles where β is the density of the graph and c ≥ is an absolute constant. This improves upon a previous m(1/4−o(1)) bound which follows from the asymptotic validity of Tuza's conjecture for dense graphs. We conjecture that such graphs have an asymptotically optimal triangle packing of size m(1/3−o(1)).We extend our result from triangles to larger cliques and odd cycles.

In this paper, we will consider the problem of constructing stable maps between two closed orientable surfaces M and N with a given branch set of curves immersed on N. We will study, from a global point of view, the behavior of its families in different isotopies classes on the space of smooth maps. The main goal is to obtain different relationships between invariants. We will provide a new proof of Quine’s Theorem.

AbstractIn this paper we revisit the classical edge disjoint paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph G and a set of terminal pairs P and asks whether G contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal pair in P. Our focus lies on structural parameterizations for the problem that allow for efficient (polynomial-time or FPT) algorithms. As our first result, we answer an open question stated in Fleszar et al. (Proceedings of the ESA, 2016), by showing that the problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph has a feedback vertex set of size one. We also show that EDP parameterized by the treewidth and the maximum degree of the input graph is fixed-parameter tractable. Having developed two novel algorithms for EDP using structural restrictions on the input graph, we then turn our attention towards the augmented graph, i.e., the graph obtained from the input graph after adding one edge between every terminal pair. In constrast to the input graph, where EDP is known to remain -hard even for treewidth two, a result by Zhou et al. (Algorithmica 26(1):3--30, 2000) shows that EDP can be solved in non-uniform polynomial time if the augmented graph has constant treewidth; we note that the possible improvement of this result to an FPT-algorithm has remained open since then. We show that this is highly unlikely by establishing the [1]-hardness of the problem parameterized by the treewidth (and even feedback vertex set) of the augmented graph. Finally, we develop an FPT-algorithm for EDP by exploiting a novel structural parameter of the augmented graph.
