The Leafed Induced Subtree in chordal and bounded treewidth graphs

Data Structures and Algorithms 2026-04-08 v5

Abstract

In the Fully Leafed Induced Subtrees, one is given a graph GG and two integers aa and bb and the question is to find an induced subtree of GG with aa vertices and at least bb leaves. This problem is known to be NP-complete even when the input graph is 44-regular. Polynomial algorithms are known when the input graph is restricted to be a tree or series-parallel. In this paper we generalize these results by providing an FPT algorithm parameterized by treewidth. We also provide a polynomial algorithm when the input graph is restricted to be a chordal graph.
