ON THE STRUCTURE OF PARAMETERIZED PROBLEMS IN NP Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Fixed-parameter intractability of optimization problems in NP is studied based on computational models with limited nondeterminism. Strong evidence is shown that many NP optimization problems are not fixed-parameter tractable and that the fixed-parameter intractability hierarchy (the W-hierarchy) does not collapse. 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
