We study the effects of faulty data on NP-hard sets. We consider hard sets for several polynomial time reductions, add corrupt data and then analyze whether the resulting sets are...
The measure and conquer approach has proven to be a powerful tool to analyse exact algorithms for combinatorial problems, like Dominating Set and Independent Set. In this paper, we...
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...

We study finite partial orders which have a chain such that every element of the order either belongs to this chain or has all its covers in this chain. We show that such orders a...

In this paper we study the consequences of the existence of sparse hard sets for NP and other complexity classes under certain types of deterministic, randomized, and nondetermini...
