Exact Exponential-Time Algorithms for Domination Problems in Graphs

TL;DR: This PhD thesis studies exact exponential-time algorithms for domination problems in graphs, which are algorithms that use a number of operations that is exponential in a complexity parameter of the input in the worst case and return an optimal solution to the problem.

From Causes for Database Queries to Repairs and Model-Based Diagnosis and Back

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors establish and investigate connections between causes for query answers in databases, database repairs with respect to denial constraints, and consistency-based diagnosis, and show how to obtain database repairs from causes, and the other way around.

Cognition and Intractability : A Guide to Classical and Parameterized Complexity Analysis

TL;DR: Cognition and Intractability is the first book to provide an accessible introduction to computational complexity analysis and its application to questions of intractability in cognitive science.

Algorithm Engineering for Optimal Graph Bipartization

TL;DR: In this paper, the worst-case time complexity was improved from O(3k · kmn) to O( 3k · mn, where m is the number of vertices, k is the maximum number of edges to delete, and n is the minimum number of nodes to delete.

A multivariate complexity analysis of lobbying in multiple referenda

TL;DR: In this multivariate complexity analysis, a more holistic view on the nature of the computational complexity of LOBBYING is presented, providing both (parameterized) tractability and intractability results, depending on various problem parameterizations to be adopted.
