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...

Abstract. Given a graph G and a nonnegative integer k, the NP-complete Induced Matching problem asks for an edge subset M such that M is a matching and no two edges of M are joined...
Abstract. In this paper we show that every chordal graph with n vertices and m edges admits an additive 4-spanner with at most 2n−2 edges and an additive 3-spanner with at most O...
Crown structures in a graph are defined and shown to be useful in kernelization algorithms for the classic vertex cover problem. Two vertex cover kernelization methods are discus...

For supervised and unsupervised learning, positive definite kernels allow to use large and potentially infinite dimensional feature spaces with a computational cost that only depe...
