The standard formalization of preprocessing in parameterized complexity is given by kernelization. In this work, we depart from this paradigm and study a different type of preprocessing for problems without polynomial kernels, still aiming…
Finding the smallest $d$-chain with a specific $(d-1)$-boundary in a simplicial complex is known as the \textsc{Minimum Bounded Chain} (MBC$_d$) problem. The MBC$_d$ problem is NP-hard for all $d\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that it is…
A framework consists of an undirected graph $G$ and a matroid $M$ whose elements correspond to the vertices of $G$. Recently, Fomin et al. [SODA 2023] and Eiben et al. [ArXiV 2023] developed parameterized algorithms for computing paths of…
A common data analysis task is the reduced-rank regression problem: $$\min_{\textrm{rank-}k \ X} \|AX-B\|,$$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times c}$ and $B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ are given large matrices and $\|\cdot\|$ is some norm.…
In this paper we present a new algorithm for solving linear programs that requires only $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{rank(A)}L)$ iterations to solve a linear program with $m$ constraints, $n$ variables, and constraint matrix $A$, and bit complexity…
We show that any submodular minimization (SM) problem defined on a linear constraint set with constraints having up to two variables per inequality, are 2-approximable in polynomial time. If the constraints are monotone (the two variables…
It has remained an open question for some time whether, given a set of not necessarily binary (i.e. "nonbinary") trees T on a set of taxa X, it is possible to determine in time f(r).poly(m) whether there exists a phylogenetic network that…
We study a family of matroid optimization problems with a linear constraint (MOL). In these problems, we seek a subset of elements which optimizes (i.e., maximizes or minimizes) a linear objective function subject to (i) a matroid…

In this study, we investigate a robust single-machine scheduling problem under processing time uncertainty. The uncertainty is modeled using the budgeted approach, where each job has a nominal and deviation processing time, and the number…
The area of parameterized approximation seeks to combine approximation and parameterized algorithms to obtain, e.g., (1+eps)-approximations in f(k,eps)n^{O(1)} time where k is some parameter of the input. We obtain the following results on…

We study the problem of non-preemptively scheduling $n$ jobs, each job $j$ with a release time $t_j$, a deadline $d_j$, and a processing time $p_j$, on $m$ parallel identical machines. Cieliebak et al. (2004) considered the two constraints…
We improve the running time of the general algorithmic technique known as Baker's approach (1994) on H-minor-free graphs from O(n^{f(|H|)}) to O(f(|H|) n^{O(1)}). The numerous applications include e.g. a 2-approximation for coloring and…
