Tight Lower Bounds for Certain Parameterized NP-Hard Problems
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...

Solving MAX-r-SAT Above a Tight Lower Bound
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

A Probabilistic Approach to Problems Parameterized above or below Tight Bounds
We introduce a new approach for establishing fixed-parameter tractability of problems parameterized above tight lower bounds or below tight upper bounds. To illustrate the approac...

Algorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized by Clique-width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

Maximum common subgraph: some upper bound and lower bound results
Background: Structure matching plays an important part in understanding the functional role of biological structures. Bioinformatics assists in this effort by reformulating this p...
