A Complexity Dichotomy for Finding Disjoint Solutions of Vertex Deletion Problems
2011
ACM Transactions on Computation Theory
We investigate the computational complexity of a general "compression task" centrally occurring in the recently developed technique of iterative compression for exactly solving NP-hard minimization problems. The core issue (particularly but not only motivated by iterative compression) is to determine the computational complexity of, given an already inclusion-minimal solution for an underlying (typically NPhard) vertex deletion problem in graphs, to find a better disjoint solution.
