Jungles, bundles, and fixed parameter tractability

TL;DR: In this paper, a fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) approximation algorithm for computing the path width of a tournament and more generally of a semi-complete digraph is presented.

Parameterized complexity of the firefighter problem

TL;DR: It is shown that Savingk-Vertices and its dual Saving All Butk- Vertices are both W[1]-hard for parameter k even for bipartite graphs, and it is proved that a lower bound to polynomial kernelization for Saving All butk- vertices is proved.

Stable Assignment with Couples: Parameterized Complexity and Local Search

TL;DR: This work studies the Hospitals/Residents with Couples problem, a variant of the classical Stable Marriage problem, using the framework of parameterized complexity, and investigates the matching problem containing couples.

Fast Algorithms for Parameterized Problems with Relaxed Disjointness Constraints

TL;DR: In this paper, generalized versions of k-path, set packing, multilinear monomial testing and Hamiltonian path are considered. But the generalization is obtained by introducing a relaxation parameter, which relaxes the constraints on feasible solutions.

Combinatorial filter reduction

TL;DR: It is shown that this combinatorial filter minimization problem is not fixed-parameter tractable for any of the obvious parameters, but it is fixed- Parameter tractability for a certain combination of new parameters.
