C-Planarity of Extrovert Clustered Graphs
A clustered graph has its vertices grouped into clusters in a hierarchical way via subset inclusion, thereby imposing a tree structure on the clustering relationship. The c-planari...

Compression via matroids: a randomized polynomial kernel for odd cycle transversal
The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most k of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Op...

An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

On Parameterized Exponential Time Complexity
In this paper we define the notion of an f(k)-uniform parameterized exponential time scheme. We show that a problem can be solved in parameterized O(2o(f(k)) p(n)) time if and on...
