On the computational hardness based on linear FPT-reductions Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The notion of linear fpt-reductions has been recently introduced to derive strong computational lower bounds for well-known NP-hard problems. In this paper, we formally investigate the notion of W[t]-hardness under the linear fpt-reduction, and study the structural properties of the corresponding complexity classes. Additional complexity lower bounds on important computational problems are established. Some observations on structural properties of the standard parameterized hierarchy, the W-hierarchy, are also presented. Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2006.
