A Kernelisation Approach for Multiple d-Hitting Set and Its Application in Optimal Multi-Drug Therapeutic Combinations

TL;DR: This work shows that despite being NP-complete, the (α,β,d)-Hitting Set problem is fixed-parameter tractable with a kernel of size O(αdkd) when the authors parameterize by the size k of the hitting set and the maximum number α of the minimum number of hits, and takes the maximum degree d of the target sets as a constant.

FPT algorithms for path-transversals and cycle-transversals problems in graphs

TL;DR: Abuilding stone for the authors' algorithms is a general O*(4p) algorithm for a class of problems aiming at breaking a set of paths in a graph, provided that the set ofpaths has a special property called homogeneity.

Reconfiguration over Tree Decompositions

TL;DR: In this paper, the complexity of the reconfiguration version of the vertex-subset problem is investigated for graphs of bounded treewidth. But the complexity remains PSPACE-complete.

Structural Parameterizations of the Mixed Chinese Postman Problem

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the unweighted version of the MCPP and showed that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the treewidth of the graph.

Treewidth reduction for constrained separation and bipartization problems

TL;DR: This work presents a method for reducing the treewidth of a graph while preserving all the minimal $s-t$ separators and proves the fixed-parameter tractability of a number of well-known separation and bipartization problems with various additional restrictions.
