• Approximating Acyclicity Parameters of Sparse Hypergraphs 

      Fomin, Fedor; Golovach, Petr; Thilikos, Dimitrios (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)
      The notions of hypertree width and generalized hypertree width were introduced by Gottlob, Leone, and Scarcello (PODS'99, PODS'01) in order to extend the concept of hypergraph acyclicity. These notions were further generalized ...
    • Kernel(s) for Problems with No Kernel: On Out-Trees with Many Leaves 

      Fernau, Henning; Fomin, Fedor; Lokshtanov, Daniel; Raible, Daniel; Saurabh, Saket; Villanger, Yngve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)
      The {\sc \(k\)-Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching, that is a rooted oriented spanning tree, with at least \(k\) leaves in a given digraph. The problem has recently received much attention from the ...
    • Subexponential Algorithms for Partial Cover Problems 

      Fomin, Fedor; Lokshtanov, Daniel; Raman, Venkatesh; Saurabh, Saket (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)
      Partial Cover problems are optimization versions of fundamental and well studied problems like {\sc Vertex Cover} and {\sc Dominating Set}. Here one is interested in covering (or dominating) the maximum number of edges (or ...
