Discovering Graph Functional Dependencies

TL;DR: It is shown that GFD discovery is feasible over large-scale graphs, by providing parallel scalable algorithms for discovering GFDs that guarantee to reduce running time when more processors are used, and experimentally verify the effectiveness and scalability of the algorithms.

Preprocessing subgraph and minor problems: When does a small vertex cover help?

TL;DR: These characterizations not only give generic explanations for the existence of many known polynomial kernels for problems like q-Coloring, Odd Cycle Transversal, Chordal Deletion, @h-Transversal or Long Path, parameterized by the size of a vertex cover, but also imply new polynometric kernels for Problems like F-Minor-Free Deletions.

Subexponential Algorithms for Partial Cover Problems

TL;DR: It was shown that on planar graphs both problems can be solved in time $2^{\cO(k)n^{\ cO(1)}$ and on parameterized complexity classes when parameterized by $k.

Simultaneously Satisfying Linear Equations Over F_2: MaxLin2 and Max-r-Lin2 Parameterized Above Average

TL;DR: A theorem is proved which implies that Max-r-Lin2-AA[k,r] has a kernel with at most (2k-1)r variables and implies a lower bound on the maximum of a function f that maps {-1,1}^n to the set of reals and whose Fourier expansion is of degree r.

Exploring the Subexponential Complexity of Completion Problems

TL;DR: It is proved that completions into several well-studied classes of graphs without long induced cycles and paths also admit parameterized subexponential time algorithms.
