The Complexity Landscape of Decompositional Parameters for ILP

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that ILP is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the treedepth of the constraint matrix and the maximum absolute value of any coefficient occurring in the ILP instance.

Breaking the 2n-barrier for Irredundance: Two lines of attack

TL;DR: In this paper, exact exponential-time algorithms for computing the lower and upper irredundance numbers of a graph G on n vertices with running time O(1.99914^n) and O( 1.9369^n, respectively, were presented.

Approximation of Natural W[P]-Complete Minimisation Problems Is Hard

TL;DR: This work proves that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio unless FPT = W[P].

Graph operations characterizing rank-width

TL;DR: This work defines operations on graphs that characterize rank-width and help for the construction of Fixed Parameter Tractable algorithms, especially for problems specified in monadic second-order logic.

Fully proportional representation with approval ballots: approximating the maxcover problem with bounded frequencies in FPT time

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of winner determination under Chamberlin-Courant's multiwinner voting rule with approval utilities and showed an exponential-time/FPT approximation algorithm that achieves arbitrarily good approximation ratios and running times much better than known exact algorithms.
