Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...
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...
We provide polynomial time data reduction rules for Connected Dominating Set in planar graphs and analyze these to obtain a linear kernel for the planar Connected Dominating Set pr...
We consider the problem of finding a k-edge transversal set that covers all (simple) cycles of length at most s in a planar graph, where s ≥ 3 is a constant. This problem, refe...
A linear-time algorithm for the minimum-ratio spanning tree problem on planar graphs is presented. The algorithm is based on a new planar minimum spanning tree algorithm. The appr...
