Abstract. We present new kernelization results for the s-cycle transversal problem for s > 3. In particular, we show a 6k2 kernel for 4-cycle transversal and a O(ks−1 ) kernel...
We study a general class of problems called F -Deletion problems. In an F -Deletion problem, we are asked whether a subset of at most k vertices can be deleted from a graph G such...

Polynomial time preprocessing to reduce instance size is one of the most commonly deployed heuristics to tackle computationally hard problems. In a parameterized problem, every in...

We solve the subgraph isomorphism problem in planar graphs in linear time, for any pattern of constant size. Our results are based on a technique of partitioning the planar graph ...
