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...

To decide if the parameterized feedback vertex set problem in directed graph is fixed-parameter tractable is a long standing open problem. In this paper, we prove that the paramet...
Abstract. We describe some new, simple and apparently general methods for designing FPT algorithms, and illustrate how these can be used to obtain a signi cantly improved FPT 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...
