Parameterized Resolution and, moreover, a general framework for parameterized proof complexity was introduced by Dantchev, Martin, and Szeider [16] (FOCS’07). In that paper, Dan...
Given an arbitrary graph G = (V, E) and an additional set of admissible edges F, the Chordal Sandwich problem asks whether there exists a chordal graph (V, E F ) such that F F. ...
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

We describe three applications in computational learning theory of techniques and ideas recently introduced in the study of parameterized computational complexity. (1) Using param...

We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...
