We give the first linear kernels for DOMINATING SET and CONNECTED DOMINATING SET problems on graphs excluding a fixed graph H as a minor. In other words, we give polynomial time...

A planning problem is k-dependent if each action has at most k pre-conditions on variables unaffected by the action. This concept is well-founded since k is a constant for all but...
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...
Topological invariants of spatial databases (i.e., finite structures that capture the topological properties of the database) are receiving increasing attention since they can act...
