Jean - Sébastien Sereni ON FAIR EDGE DELETION PROBLEMS

In edge deletion problems, we are given a graph G and a graph property π and the task is to find a subset of edges the deletion of which results in a subgraph of G satisfying the property π. Typically the objective is to minimize the total number of deleted edges while in less common fair versions the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges removed from a single vertex. We focus on...
