Parameterized complexity of k-Chinese Postman Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the k-Chinese postman problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k. In fact, the problem admits a kernel with O(k^2logk) vertices.

Counting crossing-free structures

TL;DR: This paper develops a general technique for computing the number of crossing-free structures of an input set P and shows that the techniques are general enough to solve the restricted triangulation counting problem, which is proved to be W[2]-hard in the parameter k.

Variable-deletion backdoors to planning

TL;DR: This work defines a new type of variable-deletion backdoors based on the extended causal graph of a planning instance, which explores the capabilities of polynomial time preprocessing and shows the close connection between planning and verification problems such as Vector Addition System with States (VASS).

Constructing minimal phylogenetic networks from softwired clusters is fixed parameter tractable

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that given a set of clusters C on a taxa X, where |X|=n, it is possible to determine in time f(k).poly(n) whether there exists a level-<-k network (i.e., a network where each biconnected component has reticulation number at most k) that represents all the clusters in C in the softwired sense, and if so to construct such a network.

The Complexity of Ontology-Based Data Access with OWL 2 QL and Bounded Treewidth Queries

TL;DR: It is shown that OMQs with bounded depth ontologies have nonrecursive datalog (NDL) rewritings that can be constructed and evaluated in LOGCFL for combined complexity, and even in NL if their CQs are tree-shaped with a bounded number of leaves.
