Fast fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for nontrivial generalizations of vertex cover

Our goal in this paper is the development of fast algorithms for recognizing general classes of graphs. We seek algorithms whose complexity can be expressed as a linear function of the graph size plus an exponential function of k, a natural parameter describing the class. In particular, we consider...
