TREEWIDTH and PATHWIDTH parameterized by vertex cover

چکیده
After the number of vertices, Vertex Cover is the largest of the classical graph parameters and has more and more frequently been used as a separate parameter in parameterized problems, including problems that are not directly related to the Vertex Cover. Here we consider the TREEWIDTH and PATHWIDTH problems parameterized by k, the size of a minimum vertex cover of the input graph. We show that the PATHWIDTH and TREEWIDTH can be computed in O(3) time. This complements recent polynomial kernel results for TREEWIDTH and PATHWIDTH parameterized by the Vertex Cover.

Parameterized Complexity of 1-Planarity
We consider the problem of finding a 1-planar drawing for a general graph, where a 1-planar drawing is a drawing in which each edge participates in at most one crossing. Since this problem is known to be NP-hard we investigate the parameterized complexity of the problem with respect to the vertex cover number, tree-depth, and cyclomatic number. For these parameters we construct fixed-parameter ...
متن کاملWhat Makes Equitable Connected Partition Easy
We study the Equitable Connected Partition problem, which is the problem of partitioning a graph into a given number of partitions, such that each partition induces a connected subgraph, and the partitions differ in size by at most one. We examine the problem from the parameterized complexity perspective with respect to the number of partitions, the treewidth, the pathwidth, the size of a minim...
متن کاملKernel Bounds for Structural Parameterizations of Pathwidth
Assuming the AND-distillation conjecture, the Pathwidth problem of determining whether a given graphG has pathwidth at most k admits no polynomial kernelization with respect to k. The present work studies the existence of polynomial kernels for Pathwidth with respect to other, structural, parameters. Our main result is that, unless NP ⊆ coNP/poly, Pathwidth admits no polynomial kernelization ev...
متن کاملCapacitated Domination and Covering: A Parameterized Perspective
Capacitated versions of Vertex Cover and Dominating Set have been studied intensively in terms of polynomial time approximation algorithms. Although the problems Dominating Set and Vertex Cover have been subjected to considerable scrutiny in the parameterized complexity world, this is not true for their capacitated versions. Here we make an attempt to understand the behavior of the problems Cap...
متن کاملAbstract Milling with Turn Costs
The Abstract Milling problem is a natural and quite general graph-theoretic model for geometric milling problems. Given a graph, one asks for a walk that covers all its vertices with a minimum number of turns, as specified in the graph model by a 0/1 turncost function fx at each vertex x giving, for each ordered pair of edges (e, f) incident at x, the turn cost at x of a walk that enters the ve...
