Linear kernels and single-exponential algorithms via protrusion decompositions

Eun Jung Kim, Alexander Langer, Christophe Paul +4

A \emph{-treewidth-modulator} of a graph is a set such that the treewidth of is at most some constant . In this paper, we present a novel algor…

Linear Kernels on Graphs Excluding Topological Minors

Alexander Langer, Felix Reidl, Peter Rossmanith +1

We show that problems which have finite integer index and satisfy a requirement we call treewidth-bounding admit linear kernels on the class of -topological-minor free graphs, f…

Lower Bounds on the Complexity of MSO1 Model-Checking

Robert Ganian, Petr Hliněný, Alexander Langer +3

One of the most important algorithmic meta-theorems is a famous result by Courcelle, which states that any graph problem definable in monadic second-order logic with edge-set quant…

Courcelle's Theorem - A Game-Theoretic Approach

Joachim Kneis, Alexander Langer, Peter Rossmanith

Courcelle's Theorem states that every problem definable in Monadic Second-Order logic can be solved in linear time on structures of bounded treewidth, for example, by constructing…

Linear-Time Algorithms for Graphs of Bounded Rankwidth: A Fresh Look Using Game Theory

Alexander Langer, Peter Rossmanith, Somnath Sikdar

We present an alternative proof of a theorem by Courcelle, Makowski and Rotics which states that problems expressible in MSO are solvable in linear time for graphs of bounded rankw…

Breaking the 2^n-Barrier for Irredundance: A Parameterized Route to Solving Exact Puzzles

Ljiljana Brankovic, Henning Fernau, Joachim Kneis +1

The lower and the upper irredundance numbers of a graph , denoted and respectively, are conceptually linked to domination and independence numbers and have numer…
