Flow-augmentation III: Complexity dichotomy for Boolean CSPs parameterized by the number of unsatisfied constraints

Eun Jung Kim, Stefan Kratsch, Marcin Pilipczuk +1

We study the parameterized problem of satisfying ``almost all'' constraints of a given formula over a fixed, finite Boolean constraint language , with or without weights. Mo…

Towards exact structural thresholds for parameterized complexity

Falko Hegerfeld, Stefan Kratsch

Parameterized complexity seeks to use input structure to obtain faster algorithms for NP-hard problems. This has been most successful for graphs of low treewidth: Many problems adm…

Elimination Distances, Blocking Sets, and Kernels for Vertex Cover

Eva-Maria C. Hols, Stefan Kratsch, Astrid Pieterse

The Vertex Cover problem plays an essential role in the study of polynomial kernelization in parameterized complexity, i.e., the study of provable and efficient preprocessing for N…

Assessing the Computational Complexity of Multi-Layer Subgraph Detection

Robert Bredereck, Christian Komusiewicz, Stefan Kratsch +3

Multi-layer graphs consist of several graphs (layers) over the same vertex set. They are motivated by real-world problems where entities (vertices) are associated via multiple type…

The Parameterized Complexity of the Minimum Shared Edges Problem

Till Fluschnik, Stefan Kratsch, Rolf Niedermeier +1

We study the NP-complete Minimum Shared Edges (MSE) problem. Given an undirected graph, a source and a sink vertex, and two integers p and k, the question is whether there are p pa…

Polynomial Kernels for Weighted Problems

Michael Etscheid, Stefan Kratsch, Matthias Mnich +1

Kernelization is a formalization of efficient preprocessing for NP-hard problems using the framework of parameterized complexity. Among open problems in kernelization it has been a…
