Abstract

In this paper we present fixed-parameter algorithms for theproblem Dual-given two hypergraphs, decide if one is the transversalhypergraph of the other-and related problems. In the first part, weconsider the number of edges of the hypergraphs, the maximum degreeof a vertex, and a vertex complementary degree as our parameters. In the second part, we use an Apriori approach to obtain FPT resultsfor generating all maximal independent sets of a hypergraph, all minimaltransversals of a hypergraph, and all maximal frequent sets whereparameters bound the intersections or unions of edges.
