Abstract

In this talk we present fixed-parameter algorithms for the problem Dual—given two hypergraphs, decide if one is the transversal hypergraph of the other—and related problems. Briefly, a parameterized problem with parameter k is fixed-parameter tractable if it can be solved by an algorithm running in time O(f(k)·poly(n)), where f is a function depending on k only, n is the size of the input, and poly(n) is any polynomial in n. The class FPT contains all fixed-parameter tractable problems.


In the first part, we consider the number of edges of the hypergraphs, the maximum degree of a vertex, and a vertex complementary degree as our parameters. In the second part, we use an Apriori approach to obtain FPT results for generating all maximal independent sets of a hypergraph, all minimal transversals of a hypergraph, and all maximal frequent sets where parameters bound the intersections or unions of edges.
