Parameterized vertex deletion problems for hereditary graph classes with a block property

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For a class of graphs mathcalP, the Bounded mathcalP-Block Vertex Deletion problem asks, given a graph G on n vertices and positive integers k and d, whether there is a set S of at most k vertices such that each block of GS has at most d vertices and is in mathcalP. We show that when mathcalP satisfies a natural hereditary property and is recognizable in polynomial time, Bounded mathcalP-Block Vertex Deletion can be solved in time 2O(klogd)nO(1). When mathcalP contains all split graphs, we show that this running time is essentially optimal unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails. On the other hand, if mathcalP consists of only complete graphs, or only cycle graphs and K2, then Bounded mathcalP-Block Vertex Deletion admits a cknO(1)-time algorithm for some constant c independent of d. We also show that Bounded mathcalP-Block Vertex Deletion admits a kernel with O(k2d7) vertices.
