Abstract

A linear matching consists of 2n vertices ordered linearly, together with n vertex-disjoint edges. In this article, we study the Linear Matching Inclusion problem, which takes two linear matchings, called the pattern and the target, and asks if there is an order-preserving mapping of the pattern into the target. We consider several parameterizations of this problem, for which we obtain parameterized algorithms and hardness results. In addition, we settle the parameterized complexity of the related Nesting-Free 2-Interval Pattern problem.
