Abstract

To solve NP-hard problems, polynomial-time preprocessing is a natural and promising approach. Preprocessing is based on data reduction techniques that take a problem's input instance and try to perform a reduction to a smaller, equivalent problem kernel.


In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to data reduction and problem kernels and review some recent developments in this field, in particular, a linear kernelization for Cluster Editing and a general framework for deriving linear kernels for planar graph problems.
