An Improved Deterministic Parameterized Algorithm for Cactus Vertex Deletion
A cactus is a connected graph that does not contain K 4 − e as a minor. Given a graph G = ( V , E ) and an integer k ≥ 0, Cactus Vertex Deletion (also known as Diamond Hitting Set ) is the problem of deciding whether G has a vertex set of size at most k whose removal leaves a forest of cacti.

cactus
is a connected graph that does not contain
K
4
−
e
as a minor. Given a graph
G
= (
V
,
E
) and an integer
k
≥ 0,
Cactus Vertex Deletion
(also known as
Diamond Hitting Set
) is the problem of deciding whether
G
has a vertex set of size at most
k
whose removal leaves a forest of cacti. The previously best deterministic parameterized algorithm for this problem was due to Bonnet et al. [WG

], which runs in time 26

, where
n
is the number of vertices of
G
. In this paper, we design a deterministic algorithm for
Cactus Vertex Deletion
, which runs in time 17.64
k

. As an almost straightforward application of our algorithm, we also give a deterministic 17.64

Even Cycle Transversal
, which improves the previous running time 50

of the known deterministic parameterized algorithm due to Misra et al. [WG
