An Exact Algorithm for the Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree Problem
Given an undirected graph with n nodes, the Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree problem is to find a spanning tree with as many leaves as possible. When parameterized in the number of leav...

Pareto Complexity of Two-Parameter FPT Problems: A Case Study for Partial Vertex Cover
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...

Improved Parameterized Algorithms for the Kemeny Aggregation Problem
We give improvements over fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms to solve the Kemeny aggregation problem, where the task is to summarize a multi-set of preference lists, call...

Improved Induced Matchings in Sparse Graphs
An induced matching in graph G is a matching which is an induced subgraph of G. Clearly, among two vertices with the same neighborhood (called twins) at most one is matched in any...

Stable Assignment with Couples: Parameterized Complexity and Local Search
We study the Hospitals/Residents with Couples problem, a variant of the classical Stable Marriage problem. This is the extension of the Hospitals/Residents problem where residents ...

Even Faster Algorithm for Set Splitting!
In the p-Set Splitting problem we are given a universe U, a family F of subsets of U and a positive integer k and the objective is to find a partition of U into W and B such that...

What Makes Equitable Connected Partition Easy
We study the Equitable Connected Partition problem, which is the problem of partitioning a graph into a given number of partitions, such that each partition induces a connected sub...

A Probabilistic Approach to Problems Parameterized above or below Tight Bounds
We introduce a new approach for establishing fixed-parameter tractability of problems parameterized above tight lower bounds or below tight upper bounds. To illustrate the approac...

The Parameterized Complexity of Some Geometric Problems in Unbounded Dimension
We study the parameterized complexity of the following fundamental geometric problems with respect to the dimension d: i) Given n points in Rd, compute their minimum enclosing cyl...
