Parameterized Complexity of Finding Regular Induced Subgraphs

چکیده
The r-Regular Induced Subgraph problem asks, given a graph G and a non-negative integer k, whether G contains an r-regular induced subgraph of size at least k, that is, an induced subgraph in which every vertex has degree exactly r. In this paper we examine its parameterization k-Size r-Regular Induced Subgraph with k as parameter and prove that it is W [1]-hard. We also examine the parameterized complexity of the dual parameterized problem, namely, the k-Almost r-Regular Graph problem, which asks for a given graph G and a non-negative integer k whether G can be made r-regular by deleting at most k vertices. We show that this problem is in FPT by proving the existence of a problem kernel of size O(kr(r + k)).

Parameterized complexity of finding small degree-constrained subgraphs
In this article we study the parameterized complexity of problems consisting in finding degree-constrained subgraphs, taking as the parameter the number of vertices of the desired subgraph. Namely, given two positive integers d and k, we study the problem of finding a d-regular (induced or not) subgraph with at most k vertices and the problem of finding a subgraph with at most k vertices and of...
متن کاملParameterized computational complexity of finding small-diameter subgraphs
Finding subgraphs of small diameter in undirected graphs has been seemingly unexplored from a parameterized complexity perspective. We perform the first parameterized complexity study on the corresponding NP-hard s-Club problem. We consider two parameters: the solution size and its dual.
متن کاملFinding Connected Secluded Subgraphs
Problems related to finding induced subgraphs satisfying given properties form one of the most studied areas within graph algorithms. Such problems have given rise to breakthrough results and led to development of new techniques both within the traditional P vs NP dichotomy and within parameterized complexity. The Π-Subgraph problem asks whether an input graph contains an induced subgraph on at...
متن کاملThe Parameterized Complexity of k-Edge Induced Subgraphs
We prove that finding a k-edge induced subgraph is fixedparameter tractable, thereby answering an open problem of Leizhen Cai [2]. Our algorithm is based on several combinatorial observations, Gauss’ famous Eureka theorem [1], and a generalization of the wellknown fpt-algorithm for the model-checking problem for first-order logic on graphs with locally bounded tree-width due to Frick and Grohe ...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Finding Subgraphs Whose Matching Number Equals the Vertex Cover Number
The class of graphs where the size of a minimum vertex cover equals that of a maximum matching is known as König-Egerváry graphs. König-Egerváry graphs have been studied extensively from a graph theoretic point of view. In this paper, we introduce and study the algorithmic complexity of finding maximumKönig-Egerváry subgraphs of a given graph. More specifically, we look at the problem of findin...
