Abstract

The notion of a “problem kernel” plays a central role in the design of fixed-parameter algorithms. The $\mathcal{FPT}$ literature is rich in kernelization algorithms that exhibit fundamentally different approaches. We highlight these differences and discuss several generalizations and restrictions of the standard notion.
