Feedback problems consist of removing a minimal number of vertices of a directed or undirected graph in order to make it acyclic. The problem is known to be NPcomplete. In this pa...

Abstract. We give an fpt approximation algorithm for the directed vertex disjoint cycle problem. Given a directed graph G with n vertices and a positive integer k, the algorithm co...
Abstract. We present improved parameterized algorithms for the Feedback Vertex Set problem on both unweighted and weighted graphs. Both algorithms run in time O(5k kn2 ). The algor...

A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

The paper studies crown reductions for the Minimum Weighted Vertex Cover problem introduced recently in the unweighted case by Fellows et al. [Blow-Ups, Win/Win's and crown r...
