We study the parameterized complexity of an NP-complete geometric covering problem called d-dimensional Rectangle Stabbing where we are given a set of axis-parallel d-dimensional h...

We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propag...

We consider the parameterized complexity of the following problem under the framework introduced by Downey and Fellows[4]: Given a graph G, an integer parameter k and a non-trivial...

Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...

We give machine characterisations and logical descriptions of a number of parameterized complexity classes. The focus of our attention is the class W[P], which we characterise as ...

Abstract. Problem parameters are ubiquitous. In every area of computer science, we find all kinds of “special aspects” to the problems encountered. Hence, the study of paramet...

The class of graphs where the size of a minimum vertex cover equals that of a maximum matching is known as K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs. K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs have been studied ex...

Recently it has been shown that the miniaturization mapping M faithfully translates subexponential parameterized complexity into (unbounded) parameterized complexity. We determine...

We study the parameterized complexity of two families of problems: the bounded length disjoint paths problem and the bounded length cut problem. From Menger’s theorem both proble...

We investigate the parameterized complexity of generalisations and variations of the dominating set problem on classes of graphs that are nowhere dense. In particular, we show that...
