In this paper, we introduce a new class of parameterized problems, which we call XALP: the class of all parameterized problems that can be solved in $f(k)n^{O(1)}$ time and $f(k)\log n$ space on a non-deterministic Turing Machine with…

We introduce a class of parameterised counting problems on graphs, p-#Induced Subgraph With Property(\Phi), which generalises a number of problems which have previously been studied. This paper focusses on the case in which \Phi defines a…

We extend the correspondence between two-stage coding procedures in data compression and penalized likelihood procedures in statistical estimation. Traditionally, this had required restriction to countable parameter spaces. We show how to…

In this article, we study parameterized complexity theory from the perspective of logic, or more specifically, descriptive complexity theory. We propose to consider parameterized model-checking problems for various fragments of first-order…

We show that the Minimal Length-Bounded L-But problem can be computed in linear time with respect to L and the tree-width of the input graph as parameters. In this problem the task is to find a set of edges of a graph such that after…

Parametric Markov chains have been introduced as a model for families of stochastic systems that rely on the same graph structure, but differ in the concrete transition probabilities. The latter are specified by polynomial constraints for…

Let XNLP be the class of parameterized problems such that an instance of size n with parameter k can be solved nondeterministically in time $f(k)n^{O(1)}$ and space $f(k)\log(n)$ (for some computable function f). We give a wide variety of…
