Abstract

We present new kernelization results for the s-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL problem for s 3. In particular, we show a 6k2 kernel for 4-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL and a O(ks-1) kernel for s-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL when s 4. We prove the NP-completeness of s-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL on planar graphs and obtain a 74k kernel for 4-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL on planar graphs. We also give several kernelization results for a related problem (≤ s)-CYCLE TRANSVERSAL.
