A complexity dichotomy for hitting connected minors on bounded treewidth graphs: the chair and the banner draw the boundary

J Baste, I Sau, DM Thilikos - Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2020 - SIAM
For a fixed connected graph H, the {H}-M-Deletion problem asks, given a graph G, for the
minimum number of vertices that intersect all minor models of H in G. It is known that this …

Parameterized max min feedback vertex set

M Lampis, N Melissinos, M Vasilakis - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.09604, 2023 - arxiv.org
Given a graph $ G $ and an integer $ k $, Max Min FVS asks whether there exists a minimal
set of vertices of size at least $ k $ whose deletion destroys all cycles. We present several …

In the general AntiFactor problem, a graph $ G $ is given with a set $ X_v\subseteq\mathbb
{N} $ of forbidden degrees for every vertex $ v $ and the task is to find a set $ S $ of edges …

Close relatives of feedback vertex set without single-exponential algorithms parameterized by treewidth

Digraph coloring and distance to acyclicity

A Harutyunyan, M Lampis, N Melissinos - Theory of Computing Systems, 2024 - Springer
Abstract In k-Digraph Coloring we are given a digraph and are asked to partition its vertices
into at most k sets, so that each set induces a DAG. This well-known problem is NP-hard, as …
