Interval scheduling and colorful independent sets

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the parameterized complexity of Independent Set on 2-union graphs and on subclasses like strip graphs and showed that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the parameter $$k$$k.

Quantifying hybridization in realistic time

TL;DR: A new fixed-parameter algorithm for computing the minimum number of hybridization events for when two rooted binary phylogenetic trees are given is given, based on interleaving-a technique using repeated kernelization steps that are applied throughout the exhaustive search part of a fixed- parameter algorithm.

Chamberlin--Courant Rule with Approval Ballots: Approximating the MaxCover Problem with Bounded Frequencies in FPT Time

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of winner determination under Chamberlin-Courant's multiwinner voting rule with approval utilities and shows exponential-time/FPT approximation algorithms that achieve arbitrarily good approximation ratios and have running times much better than known exact algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kernel bounds for path and cycle problems

TL;DR: This work explores the existence of polynomial kernels for various path and cycle problems, by considering nonstandard parameterizations, and shows polynometric kernels when the parameters are a given vertex cover, a modulator to a cluster graph, or a (promised) max leaf number.

Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for Kemeny Scores

TL;DR: This work provides first, encouraging fixed-parameter tractability results for computing optimal scores, and second, extending the results to votes with ties and incomplete votes, thus, having no longer permutations as input.
