A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected graph is a set of vertices that contains at least one vertex of each cycle of the graph. The feedback vertex set problem consists of constructing a FVS of size less than a certain given value.…
We show that a simple local search gives a PTAS for the Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem in minor-free graphs. An efficient PTAS in minor-free graphs was known for this problem by Fomin, Lokshtanov, Raman and Sauraubh. However, their…
We present a new parameterized algorithm for the {feedback vertex set} problem ({\sc fvs}) on undirected graphs. We approach the problem by considering a variation of it, the {disjoint feedback vertex set} problem ({\sc disjoint-fvs}),…
For a digraph $G$, a set $F\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a feedback vertex set (FVS) if $G-F$ is acyclic. The problem of finding a smallest FVS is NP-hard. We present a matrix scaling technique for finding feedback vertex sets 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…
The Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem takes as input a directed graph~$G$ and seeks a smallest vertex set~$S$ that hits all cycles in $G$. This is one of Karp's 21 $\mathsf{NP}$-complete problems. Resolving the parameterized…
We consider the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs (FVS). The input to FVS is an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative vertex costs. The goal is to find a minimum cost subset of vertices $S \subseteq V$ such that $G-S$…
The minimum directed feedback vertex set problem consists in finding the minimum set of vertices that should be removed in order to make a directed graph acyclic. This is a well-known NP-hard optimization problem with applications in…
A feedback vertex set (FVS) in a digraph is a subset of vertices whose removal makes the digraph acyclic. In other words, it hits all cycles in the digraph. Lokshtanov et al. [TALG '21] gave a factor 2 randomized approximation algorithm for…
In the \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set (Subset-FVS)} problem the input is a graph $G$, a subset \(T\) of vertices of \(G\) called the `terminal' vertices, and an integer $k$. The task is to determine whether there exists a subset of…
Given a graph, the minimum dominating set (MinDS) problem is to identify a smallest set $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The MinDS problem is a classic $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem…
Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem asks if there is a vertex set $T$ of size at most $k$ that hits all cycles in the graph. The fixed-parameter tractability status of FVS in directed graphs was a…
A typical example that behaves computationally different in subclasses of chordal graphs is the \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} (SFVS) problem: given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V$, the \textsc{Subset…
In directed graphs, we investigate the problems of finding: 1) a minimum feedback vertex set (also called the Feedback Vertex Set problem, or MFVS), 2) a feedback vertex set inducing an acyclic graph (also called the Vertex 2-Coloring…
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…
In this paper we study a maximization version of the classical Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem, namely, the Max Min FVS problem, in the realm of parameterized complexity. In this problem, given an undirected graph $G$, a positive integer…
The Minimum Vertex Cover (MinVC) problem is a well-known NP-hard problem. Recently there has been great interest in solving this problem on real-world massive graphs. For such graphs, local search is a promising approach to finding optimal…
The decomposition of undirected graphs simplifies complex problems by breaking them into solvable subgraphs, following the philosophy of divide and conquer. This paper investigates the relationship between atom decomposition and the maximum…
We study the recently introduced Connected Feedback Vertex Set (CFVS) problem from the view-point of parameterized algorithms. CFVS is the connected variant of the classical Feedback Vertex Set problem and is defined as follows: given a…
We study reduction rules for Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) on directed graphs without long cycles. A DFVS instance without cycles longer than $d$ naturally corresponds to an instance of $d$-Hitting Set, however, enumerating all cycles…
