Data Reductions and Combinatorial Bounds for Improved Approximation Algorithms

Kernelization algorithms in the context of Parameterized Complexity are often based on a combination of reduction rules and combinatorial insights. We will expose in this paper a similar strategy for obtaining polynomial-time approximation algorithms. Our method features the use of approximation-preserving reductions, akin to the notion of parameterized reductions. We exemplify this method to o...

Parameterized Approximation Problems

Parameterized complexity is fast becoming accepted as an important strand in the mainstream of algorithm design and analysis. Up until now, most of the work in the area has focussed on exact algorithms for decision problems. The goal of the present paper is to apply parameterized ideas to approximation. We begin exploration of parameterized approximation problems, where the problem in question ...

Applications of Parameterized Computation in Computational Biology

This paper first gives an introduction to parameterized computation and complexity theory, a new subfield in theoretical computer science. Then it presents a summary of its applications to addressing some important NP-hard problems in computational biology. Specifically, we can design efficient parameterized algorithms and also drive computational lower bounds for the parameterized algorithms a...

Maximization Problems Parameterized Using Their Minimization Versions: The Case of Vertex Cover

The parameterized complexity of problems is often studied with respect to the size of their optimal solutions. However, for a maximization problem, the size of the optimal solution can be very large, rendering algorithms parameterized by it inefficient. Therefore, we suggest to study the parameterized complexity of maximization problems with respect to the size of the optimal solutions to their...
