Quadratic Kernelization for Convex Recoloring of Trees

TL;DR: This paper shows that CR has a kernel of size O(k2) and describes a search-tree based FPT algorithm with a running time of O( k(k/log k)kn4) that solves the Convex Recoloring problem.

Parameterized Algorithms for (r;l)-Partization

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of nding a set of at most k vertices whose deletion results in a graph that can be partitioned into r independent sets and l cliques, and describes an O (2 k ) algorithm for perfect graphs.

Parameterized complexity of a coupled-task scheduling problem

TL;DR: It is proved that it is fixed-parameter tractable ($$\mathsf {FPT}$$FPT) parameterized by k the standard parameter if the total duration of each task is bounded by a constant, whereas the problem becomes hard otherwise.

Subexponential fixed-parameter tractability of cluster editing

TL;DR: It is shown that, unless ETH fails, for any constant 0 < s <= 1, there is p = Theta(k^s) such that there is no algorithm deciding in time 2^o(sqrt(pk)) n^O(1) whether G can be transformed into a cluster graph with p cliques by changing at most k adjacencies.

Achieving Fully Proportional Representation: Approximability Results

TL;DR: The complexity of (approximate) winner determination under the Monroe and Chamberlin-Courant multiwinner voting rules, which determine the set of representatives by optimizing the total satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the voters with their representatives, is studied.
