In Directed Feeback Arc Set (DFAS) we search for a set of at most $k$ arcs which intersect every cycle in the input digraph. It is a well-known open problem in parameterized complexity to decide if DFAS admits a kernel of polynomial size.…

In this paper we consider Simultaneous Feedback Edge Set (Sim-FES) problem. In this problem, the input is an $n$-vertex graph $G$, an integer $k$ and a coloring function ${\sf col}: E(G) \rightarrow 2^{[\alpha]}$ and the objective is to…

Given a clique-width $k$-expression of a graph $G$, we provide $2^{O(k)}\cdot n$ time algorithms for connectivity constraints on locally checkable properties such as Node-Weighted Steiner Tree, Connected Dominating Set, or Connected Vertex…

The paper deals with the Feedback Vertex Set problem parameterized by the solution size. Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, one has to decide if there is a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that $G-S$ is acyclic. Assuming the…

The pathwidth of a graph is a measure of how path-like the graph is. Given a graph G and an integer k, the problem of finding whether there exist at most k vertices in G whose deletion results in a graph of pathwidth at most one is NP-…

We present the first semi-streaming PTAS for the minimum feedback arc set problem on directed tournaments in a small number of passes. Namely, we obtain a $(1 + \varepsilon)$-approximation in polynomial time $O \left( \text{poly}(n)…

We introduce a new kernelization tool, called rainbow matching technique}, that is appropriate for the design of polynomial kernels for packing problems and their hitting counterparts. Our technique capitalizes on the powerful combinatorial…

Enumerative kernelization is a recent and promising area sitting at the intersection of parameterized complexity and enumeration algorithms. Its study began with the paper of Creignou et al. [Theory Comput. Syst., 2017], and development in…

A mixed graph is a graph with both directed and undirected edges. We present an algorithm for deciding whether a given mixed graph on $n$ vertices contains a feedback vertex set (FVS) of size at most $k$, in time $2^{O(k)}k! O(n^4)$. This…

We present a new heuristic algorithm for computing a minimum Feedback Arc Set in directed graphs. The new technique produces solutions that are better than the ones produced by the best previously known heuristics, often reducing the FAS…

Given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, a subset feedback vertex set $X$ is a set of the vertices of $G$ such that the graph induced by $V \setminus X$ has no cycle containing a vertex of $S$. The \textsc{Subset…

An induced subgraph is called an induced matching if each vertex is a degree-1 vertex in the subgraph. The \textsc{Almost Induced Matching} problem asks whether we can delete at most $k$ vertices from the input graph such that the remaining…

A kernelization for a parameterized decision problem $\mathcal{Q}$ is a polynomial-time preprocessing algorithm that reduces any parameterized instance $(x,k)$ into an instance $(x',k')$ whose size is bounded by a function of $k$ alone and…

We extend the notion of lossy kernelization, introduced by Lokshtanov et al. [STOC 2017], to approximate Turing kernelization. An $\alpha$-approximate Turing kernel for a parameterized optimization problem is a polynomial-time algorithm…

FAST problem is finding minimum feedback arc set problem in tournaments. In this paper we present some algorithms that are similar to sorting algorithms for FAST problem and we analyze them. We present Pseudo_InsertionSort algorithm for…

Given an input graph G and an integer k, the parameterized K_4-minor cover problem asks whether there is a set S of at most k vertices whose deletion results in a K_4-minor-free graph, or equivalently in a graph of treewidth at most 2. This…

The (\textsc{Weighted}) \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} problem is a generalization of the classical \textsc{Feedback Vertex Set} problem and asks for a vertex set of minimum (weighted) size that intersects all cycles containing a…

We investigate whether kernelization results can be obtained if we restrict kernelization algorithms to run in logarithmic space. This restriction for kernelization is motivated by the question of what results are attainable for…

In the \textsc{Geodetic Set} problem, the input consists of a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$. The goal is to determine whether there exists a subset $S$ of vertices of size $k$ such that every vertex in the graph is included in a…

We present two new deterministic algorithms for the Feedback Vertex Set problem parameterized by the solution size. We begin with a simple algorithm, which runs in O*((2 + \phi)^k) time, where \phi < 1.619 is the golden ratio. It already…
