Parameterized complexity of three edge contraction problems with degree constraints

TL;DR: The results imply that H-Contraction admits a linear vertex kernel on connected graphs when H is the class of cycles and the problem is expected not to admit a kernel at all.

A polynomial time algorithm for bounded directed pathwidth

TL;DR: A polynomial time algorithm for bounded directed pathwidth given a positive integer k and a digraph G with n vertices and m edges and constructs a directed path-decomposition of G of width k if one exists and otherwise reports the non-existence.

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

TL;DR: This work establishes and investigates connections between causes for query answers in databases, database repairs with respect to denial constraints, and consistency-based diagnosis, and shows how to obtain database repairs from causes, and the other way around.

Parameterized Computational Complexity of Dodgson and Young Elections

TL;DR: It is shown that the computational complexity of the Dodgson and Young election systems is completely different from a parameterized complexity point of view, and it is proved that the corresponding problem for Young elections is W[2]-complete.

Going Beyond Primal Treewidth for {(M)ILP}

TL;DR: This work introduces and algorithmic exploitation of two new decompositional parameters for ILP and MILP, and obtains a full complexity landscape mapping the precise conditions under which incidence treewidth can be used to obtain efficient algorithms.
