We consider the variant of the minimum vertex cover problem in which we require that the cover induces a connected subgraph. We give new approximation results for this problem in d...
We investigate the computational complexity of a general “compression task” centrally occurring in the recently developed technique of iterative compression for exactly solving...

We describe a framework for expressing the complexity of algorithms for FPT problems with two separate parameters k, m and with exponential time bounds O∗ (xk ym ) where x, y &g...
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...

We describe three applications in computational learning theory of techniques and ideas recently introduced in the study of parameterized computational complexity. (1) Using param...
