A. Yeo's Research Interests

I was a Ph.D. student at Odense University until the spring of 1998. I now have a lecture position at Royal Holloway, University of London. My main area's of interest are graph theory, algorithms, computational complexity, combinatorics, combinatorial optimization, operational research and probability.

In graph theory I have mostly been looking at directed graphs, especially semicomplete multipartite digraphs, and edge coloured graphs. Recently I have also been looking at the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Combinatorics I find both very interesting and useful in many cases. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to study this area in depth. I have one publication on the secretary problem, which uses combinatorics and probability theory. My father Geoffrey Yeo was a co-author to this paper.

I have quite a few algorithmic results on digraphs. Some of these give polynomial algorithms for finding certain cycles in semicomplete multipartite digraphs and semicomplete bipartite digraphs. Others are related to the TSP. I have also had several results showing the NP-completeness of problems.

Recently I have done a lot of work in the area of fixed parameter tractibilty.
