Fixed-parameter tractability and lower bounds for stabbing problems

TL;DR: It is shown that when S consists of axis-Parallel unit squares in R 2 the (decision) problem of stabbing S with axis-parallel lines is W[1]-hard with respect to k (and thus, not) the stabbing problem from a parameterized complexity point of view.

Editing to a Graph of Given Degrees

TL;DR: An FPT-algorithm is constructed for Editing to a Graph of Given Degrees parameterized by d + k and it is shown that the problem has no polynomial kernel unless NP ?

Parameterized Inapproximability of Target Set Selection and Generalizations

TL;DR: This problem models several practical issues like faults in distributed networks or word-to-mouth recommendations in social networks and it is shown that for any functions f and $rho$ this problem cannot be approximated within a factor of $\rho(k)$ in f( k) \cdot n^{O(1)}$ time, unless FPT = W[P], even for restricted thresholds.

The Constant Inapproximability of the Parameterized Dominating Set Problem

TL;DR: A set $D$ of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex of G is contained in D or adjacent to some vertex of D and the number of vertice in the smallest dominating set ofG is 1.
