A survey on approximation in parameterized complexity: Hardness and algorithms

AE Feldmann, E Lee, P Manurangsi - Algorithms, 2020 - mdpi.com
Parameterization and approximation are two popular ways of coping with NP-hard
problems. More recently, the two have also been combined to derive many interesting …

Exact and approximate bandwidth

M Cygan, M Pilipczuk - Theoretical Computer Science, 2010 - Elsevier
In this paper we gather several improvements in the field of exact and approximate
exponential time algorithms for the Bandwidth problem. For graphs with treewidth t we …

Approximation of min coloring by moderately exponential algorithms

N Bourgeois, B Escoffier, VT Paschos - Information Processing Letters, 2009 - Elsevier
We study in this note approximation algorithms for the problem of coloring the vertices of a
graph with as few colors as possible, with moderately exponential running times (and using …

Capacitated domination faster than O (2n)

M Cygan, M Pilipczuk, JO Wojtaszczyk - Information processing letters, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper we consider the Capacitated Dominating Set problem—a generalisation of the
Dominating Set problem where each vertex v is additionally equipped with a number c (v) …

Combining two worlds: parameterised approximation for vertex cover

L Brankovic, H Fernau - International Symposium on Algorithms and …, 2010 - Springer
We explore opportunities for parameterising constant factor approximation algorithms for
vertex cover. We provide a simple algorithm that works on any approximation ratio of the …

Fast Algorithms for min independent dominating set

N Bourgeois, B Escoffier, VT Paschos - … 2010, Şirince, Turkey, June 7-11 …, 2010 - Springer
We first devise a branching algorithm that computes a minimum independent dominating set
with running time O*(2 0.424 n) and polynomial space. This improves the O*(2 0.441 n) …
