We show that Edge Dominating Set, Hamiltonian Cycle, and Graph Coloring are W[1]-hard parameterized by clique-width. It was an open problem, explicitly mentioned in several papers,...

Clique-width is an important graph parameter whose computation is NP-hard. In fact we do not know of any other algorithm than brute force for the exact computation of clique-width...
We construct a polynomial-time algorithm to approximate the branch-width of certain symmetric submodular functions, and give two applications. The first is to graph "clique-wi...
