Abstract

In the problem {\sc Min-DESC}, we are given a digraph DD and an integer kk, and asked if there exists a set AA' of at most kk arcs in DD, such that if we remove the arcs of AA', in the resulting digraph every strong component is Eulerian. {\sc Min-DESC} is NP-hard; Cechl\'{a}rov\'{a} and Schlotter (IPEC 2010) asked if the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by kk. We consider the subproblem of{\sc Min-DESC} when DD is a tournament. We show that this problem is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to kk.
