Kernelization is the standard framework to analyze preprocessing routines mathematically. Here, in terms of efficiency, we demand the preprocessing routine to run in time polynomial in the input size. However, today, various NP-complete…

Parameterized complexity attempts to give a more fine-grained analysis of the complexity of problems: instead of measuring the running time as a function of only the input size, we analyze the running time with respect to additional…

Streaming is a model where an input graph is provided one edge at a time, instead of being able to inspect it at will. In this work, we take a parameterized approach by assuming a vertex cover of the graph is given, building on work of…
