Abstract

Iterative Compression has recently led to a number of breakthroughs in parameterized complexity. The main purpose of this paper is to show that iterative compression can also be used in the design of exact exponential time algorithms. We exemplify our findings with algorithms for the Maximum Independent Setproblem, a counting version of k-Hitting Setand the Maximum Induced Cluster Subgraphproblem.
