In this paper, it is shown that the Feedback Vertex Set problem on unweighted, undirected graphs has a kernel of cubic size. I.e., a polynomial time algorithm is described, that, w...
The Feedback Vertex Set problem asks whether a graph contains q vertices meeting all its cycles. This is not a local property, in the sense that we cannot check if q vertices meet...

A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

Let G be a graph with a nonnegative integral function w defined on V (G). A collection F of subsets of V (G) (repetition is allowed) is called a feedback vertex set packing in G ...
Abstract. A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is a randomized heuristic that has produced high quality solutions for a wide range of combinatorial optimization pr...
