Simple Combinatorial Construction of the -Lower Bound for Approximating the Parameterized -Clique

Y Chen, Y Feng, B Laekhanukit, Y Liu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.07516, 2023 - arxiv.org
In the parameterized $ k $-clique problem, or $ k $-Clique for short, we are given a graph $
G $ and a parameter $ k\ge 1$. The goal is to decide whether there exist $ k $ vertices in $ G …

Constant Approximating Disjoint Paths on Acyclic Digraphs is W [1]-hard

M Włodarczyk - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.03596, 2024 - arxiv.org
In the Disjoint Paths problem, one is given a graph with a set of $ k $ vertex pairs $(s_i, t_i) $
and the task is to connect each $ s_i $ to $ t_i $ with a path, so that the $ k $ paths are …
