On the Parameterized Complexity of Reconfiguration Problems

TL;DR: This study is motivated by results establishing that for many NP-hard problems, the classical complexity of reconfiguration is PSPACE-complete, and addresses the question for several important graph properties under two natural parameterizations.

The undirected feedback vertex set problem has a poly( k ) kernel

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that polynomial-time preprocessing is sufficient to reduce an initial problem instance (G,k) to a decision-equivalent simplified instance where k ≤ k, and the number of vertices of G,k is bounded by a poly(k) function of k.

On Parameterized Approximability.

TL;DR: This work introduces a theory of parameterized approximability, which is intended to deal with the efficient approximation of small cost solutions for optimisation problems.

Complexity of semi-stable and stage semantics in argumentation frameworks

TL;DR: This work answers two questions about the complexity of semi-stable semantics for abstract argumentation frameworks and extends these complexity bounds to the according decision problems for stage semantics and discusses two approaches towards tractability.

Graph-based data clustering with overlaps

TL;DR: A complexity dichotomy is provided (polynomial-time solvable versus NP-hard) for the underlying edge modification problems, forbidden subgraph characterizations of ''cluster graphs with overlaps'', and the parameterized complexity in terms of the number of allowed edge modifications is studied.
