Obtaining split graphs by edge contraction

We study the parameterized complexity of the following Split Contraction problem: Given a graph G, and an integer k as parameter, determine whether G can be modified into a split graph by contracting at most k edges. We show that Split Contraction can be solved in FPT time 2O(k2)n5, but admits no po...

Zusammenfassung:We study the parameterized complexity of the following Split Contraction problem: Given a graph G, and an integer k as parameter, determine whether G can be modified into a split graph by contracting at most k edges. We show that Split Contraction can be solved in FPT time 2O(k2)n5, but admits no polynomial kernel unless NP⊆coNP/poly.
