Maximum balanced subgraph problem parameterized above lower bound

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of finding a balanced subgraph with at least m 2+n-14+k4 edges, where k is the parameter, and obtained an algorithm for the problem in polynomial time.

Graphs with few P 4 's under the convexity of paths of order three

TL;DR: It is proved that the Caratheodory number is at most three for every cograph, P 4 -sparse graph and every connected ( q, q - 4 ) -graph with at least q vertices.

Win-Win Kernelization for Degree Sequence Completion Problems

TL;DR: This work shows fixed-parameter tractability for NP-hard graph completion (that is, edge addition) cases while it shows that there is no hope to achieve analogous results for the corresponding vertex or edge deletion versions.
