A Polynomial kernel for Proper Interval Vertex Deletion

Data Structures and Algorithms 2015-03-20 v1

Abstract

It is known that the problem of deleting at most k vertices to obtain a proper interval graph (Proper Interval Vertex Deletion) is fixed parameter tractable. However, whether the problem admits a polynomial kernel or not was open. Here, we answers this question in affirmative by obtaining a polynomial kernel for Proper Interval Vertex Deletion. This resolves an open question of van Bevern, Komusiewicz, Moser, and Niedermeier.
