Planar Subgraph Isomorphism Revisited

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the running time of Eppstein's algorithm to 2^O(k) n by exploiting the topology of the underlying embeddings of the subgraph pattern.

Separator-based data reduction for signed graph balancing

TL;DR: This work uses a fixed-parameter algorithm based on iterative compression with a very effective heuristic speedup to solve the NP-hard Balanced Subgraph problem, which asks for a 2-coloring of a graph that minimizes the inconsistencies with given edge labels.

Linear kernels for (connected) dominating set on H-minor-free graphs

TL;DR: The first linear kernels forDominating Set and Connected Dominating Set problems on graphs excluding a fixed graph H as a minor are given, based on a novel generic reduction rule producing an equivalent instance of the problem with treewidth O(√k) such that G has a (connected) dominating set of size k if and only if G' has.

The Complexity of Bounded Length Graph Recoloring and CSP Reconfiguration

TL;DR: This work shows that the more general problem of l-length bounded reconfiguration of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k+l+r, where r is the maximum constraint arity and k is themaximum domain size.

Parameterized Algorithms for Modular-Width

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a parameter called modular-width, defined using the well-known notion of modular decompositions, and use a combination of ILP and dynamic programming to find a different structural graph parameter which is as general as possible, covers dense graphs but does not incur such a heavy algorithmic penalty.
