Compression-based fixed-parameter algorithms for feedback vertex set and edge bipartization

We show that the NP-complete Feedback Vertex Set problem, which asks for the smallest set of vertices to remove from a graph to destroy all cycles, is deterministically solvable in O ( c k ⋅ m ) time. Here, m denotes the number of graph edges, k denotes the size of the feedback vertex set searched f...
