Does query evaluation tractability help query containment

TL;DR: This work investigates to which extent restrictions on UCQs and UC2RPQs, which have been known to reduce the complexity of query containment for these classes, yield a more "manageable" single-exponential time bound, which is the norm for several static analysis and verification tasks.

Interval vertex deletion admits a polynomial kernel

TL;DR: The existence of a polynomial kernel for interval vertex deletion is known to be NP-complete as discussed by the authors, but the existence of such a kernel is open in Parameterized Complexity.

Feedback Vertex Set in Mixed Graphs

TL;DR: This work presents an algorithm for deciding whether a given mixed graph on n vertices contains a feedback vertex set (FVS) of size at most k, in time O(47.5k ċ k! ċ n4).

FPT approximation schemes for maximizing submodular functions

TL;DR: It is argued that many real-life problems can be expressed as maximization of submodular, p -separable functions, with low values of the parameter p, and FPT approximation schemes for the minimization and maximization variants of the problem are presented.

On the Hardness of Losing Weight

TL;DR: This work studies the complexity of local search for the Boolean constraint satisfaction problem, and classifies the complexity, both classical and parameterized, of such problems by a Schaefer-style dichotomy result, that is, with a restricted set of allowed types of constraints.
