Subexponential Time and Fixed-Parameter Tractability: Exploiting the Miniaturization Mapping
Recently it has been shown that the miniaturization mapping M faithfully translates subexponential parameterized complexity into (unbounded) parameterized complexity. We determine the preimages under M of various (classes of) problems. For many parameterized problems whose underlying classical problem is in NP we show that the preimages coincide with natural reparameterizations which take into ...
متن کاملSubexponential fixed-parameter tractability of cluster editing
In the Correlation Clustering problem, also known as Cluster Editing, we are given an undirected graph G and a positive integer k; the task is to decide whether G can be transformed into a cluster graph, i.e., a disjoint union of cliques, by changing at most k adjacencies, that is, by adding or deleting at most k edges. We study the parameterized complexity of Correlation Clustering with this r...
متن کاملFixed Parameter Tractability and Treewidth 14 . 1 Fixed Parameter Tractability
One of the ways to cope with hard problems in practice is to realized that problem instances may be associated with some “parameters” related to their complexity. If the parameter of an instance is small, we might have some hope in finding a polynomial time solution to that instance. This idea has been investigated in the 1990’s by Downian and Fellowes in their work on fixed parameter tractabil...
متن کاملFixed Parameter Tractability and Completeness
For many fixed-parameter problems that are trivially solvable in polynomial-time, such as k-Dominating Set, essentially no better algorithm is presently known than the one which tries all possible solutions. Other problems, such as k-Feedback Vertex Set, exhibit fixed-parameter tractability: for each fixed k the problem is solvable in time bounded by a polynomial of degree c, where c is a const...
متن کاملFirefighting on Trees: (1-1/e)-Approximation, Fixed Parameter Tractability and a Subexponential Algorithm
The firefighter problem is defined as follows. Initially, a fire breaks out at a vertex r of a graph G. In each subsequent time unit, a firefighter chooses a vertex not yet on fire and protects it, and the fire spreads to all unprotected neighbors of the vertices on fire. The objective is to choose a sequence of vertices for the firefighter to protect so as to save the maximum number of vertice...
