Kernelization for Cycle Transversal Problems
Abstract. We present new kernelization results for the s-cycle transversal problem for s > 3. In particular, we show a 6k2 kernel for 4-cycle transversal and a O(ks−1 ) kernel...

On the Small Cycle Transversal of Planar Graphs
We consider the problem of finding a k-edge transversal set that covers all (simple) cycles of length at most s in a planar graph, where s ≥ 3 is a constant. This problem, refe...

Compression via matroids: a randomized polynomial kernel for odd cycle transversal
The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most k of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Op...

Odd Cycle Packing
We study the ratio between the minimum size of an odd cycle vertex transversal and the maximum size of a collection of vertex-disjoint odd cycles in a planar graph. We show that th...

Approximating Maximum Subgraphs without Short Cycles
We study approximation algorithms, integrality gaps, and hardness of approximation, of two problems related to cycles of "small" length k in a given graph. The instance f...
