[C58] An FPT Algorithm for Elimination Distance to Bounded Degree Graphs
Akanksha Agrawal, Lawqueen Kanesh, Fahad Panolan, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh
STACS 2021.

Summary: In this paper, we show that computing the elimination distance of a given graph to the class of graphs excluding a finite set of graphs as an induced subgraph is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the solution value, i.e., the elimination distance. As a corollary, we obtain an FPT algorithm for determining the elimination distance of a given graph to the class of graphs of bounded degree.

[C57] FPT-approximation for FPT problems
Daniel Lokshtanov, Pranabendu Misra, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh, Meirav Zehavi
SODA 2021.

Summary: In this paper, we design FPT-approximation algorithms for several problems that are fixed-parameter tractable, with running times that are significantly faster than the corresponding best known FPT-algorithm, and while achieving approximation ratios that are significantly better than what is possible in polynomial time. For instance, we obtain a factor-2 FPT-approximation 
for Directed Feedback Vertex Set where the running time has a single-exponential dependence on the parameter.

[C56] A Hotelling-Downs Framework for Party Nominees
Paul Harrenstein, Grzegorz Lisowski, M. S. Ramanujan, Paolo Turrini
AAMAS 2021.

​Summary: We study knockout tournaments played among coalitions, allowing each of them to strategically select one of their members to take part in a single-elimination knockout tournament. We investigate the algorithmic properties of equilibrium strategies under various setups, i.e., whether or not choices can be made at each round and whether or not tournament progression is important to the group. The results we obtain can be applied to all those settings where each side participating in a tournament can act strategically before matches take place, such as sport events or elections with run-off.

​[J23] Faster Graph Bipartization
Sudeshna Kolay, Pranabendu Misra, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh
J. Comput. Syst. Sci. 109: 45-55 (2020)

​Summary: The main result of this paper is an FPT algorithm for Graph Bipartization (Odd Cycle Transversal) that has linear dependence on the input size while matching the dependence on k incurred by the algorithm of Reed, Smith and Vetta up to poly(k) factors. This is the current fastest linear-time FPT algorithm for this problem. The crux of this algorithm is a new polynomial-time factor-poly(OPT) approximation for Graph Bipartization that has linear dependence on the input size.

​[J22] A Characterization of König-Egerváry graphs with Extendable Vertex Covers.
Venkatesh Raman, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh
Information Processing Letters, Vol. 161 (2020)

Summary: It is well known that in a bipartite (and more generally in a König-Egerváry) graph, the size of the minimum vertex cover is equal to the size of the maximum matching. We address the question whether (and if not, when) this property still holds in a König-Egerváry graph if we consider vertex covers containing a given subset of vertices. In this paper, we characterize such graphs using the classic notions of alternating paths and flowers used in Edmonds' matching algorithm.

[C55] Parameterized Complexity and Approximability of Directed Odd Cycle Transversal 
Daniel Lokshtanov, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh, Meirav Zehavi
SODA 2020.

Summary: The Odd Cycle Transversal problem is a fundamental problem in graph  algorithmics and resolving the parameterized complexity of the directed version of this problem was one of the biggest open problems in the area of parameterized complexity for more than a decade. In this paper, we resolve this problem by showing that the Directed Odd Cycle Transversal Problem cannot have an efficient parameterized algorithm under reasonable complexity hypotheses. 

[C54] On the Complexity of Recovering Incidence Matrices
Fedor V. Fomin, Petr Golovach, Pranabendu Misra, M. S. Ramanujan
ESA 2020.

Summary: We initiate the study of the computational complexity of recovering incidence matrices of graphs from a binary matrix that is known to be a small rank or small Hamming weight perturbation of an incidence matrix. We obtain upper and lower bounds when the question asks to recover incidence matrices of graphs from various specific graph classes.

[C53] On the Parameterized Complexity of Clique Elimination Distance 
Akanksha Agrawal, M. S. Ramanujan
IPEC 2020.

Summary: In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the elimination distance of a given graph to the class of cluster graphs and initiate the study of the parameterized complexity of a more general version – that of obtaining a modulator to such graphs. Our main result is a polynomial kernelization (parameterized by the modulator size) for this problem. As components in the proof of our main result, we develop a fixed-parameter algorithm for computing the elimination distance of a given graph to cluster graphs and a polynomial-time polyopt-factor approximation for the same problem.

[C51]  An Approximate Kernel for Connected Feedback Vertex Set 
M. S. Ramanujan
ESA 2019.

Summary: In this paper, we give the first Polynomial-size Approximate Kernelization Scheme (PSAKS) for the Connected Feedback Vertex Set problem. The crux of this result is a proof that for any small ε, given graph G and a non-negative integer k, there is a polynomial-time computable graph G′ of size poly(k) such that for every c ≥ 1, any c-approximate solution for the Connected Feedback Vertex Set problem on G′ of size at most k is a c·(1+ε)-approximate solution for the same problem on G.


[C50] On Succinct Encodings for the Tournament Fixing Problem
Sushmita Gupta, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh, Meirav Zehavi
IJCAI 2019.

Summary: In this paper, we present the first polynomial kernelization for the Tournament Fixing Problem parameterized by the feedback arc set number of the input tournament. We achieve this by providing a polynomial-time SAT encoding where the number of clauses is bounded polynomially in the feedback arc set number.

Daniel Lokshtanov, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh
SODA 2018.

Summary: This paper settled one of the outstanding open problems regarding the complexity of exactly solving
the classic Feedback Vertex Set problem on directed graphs, leading to the first significant progress on the problem in a decade.
 This paper presents a new linear-time algorithm to determine whether a constant number of vertices intersect all feedback loops in a given directed graph, for any given constant. The existence of such an algorithm even when the given constant is 2, was open since '78 [Garey and Tarjan, IPL 78]. The techniques introduced in this work also give faster algorithms for several basic computational problems via a speed-up of the popular and highly cited iterative-compression tool introduced by Reed, Smith and Vetta.

[J11] Linear-Time Parameterized Algorithms via Skew-Symmetric Multicuts
M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh
ACM Trans. Algorithms, volume 13, number 4, pages 46:1–46:25, September 2017, Assoc. Comput. Mach., New York.

Summary: This paper presents a linear-time algorithm to determine whether a constant number of vertices intersect all odd cycles in a given undirected graph, for any given constant. This paper introduced new flow-cut techniques on skew-symmetric digraphs and resolved a decade-long open problem resulting from the work of Reed, Smith and Vetta in 2003, where they gave a quadratic-time algorithm (indeed this was the first ever polynomial-time algorithm for this problem).

ACM Transactions on Algorithms, volume 11, number 2, pages 15:1–15:31, 2014.

Summary: This paper is the first to beat the 3^k dependence on the parameter in fixed-parameter algorithms for the classic Odd Cycle Transversal problem. The importance of this paper is threefold: (i) The 3^k bound had survived for ten years and there was belief that this could be tight. (ii) It was among the earliest papers to bring linear-programming  (LP) techniques to the design of fixed-parameter algorithms. LP techniques are now a cornerstone of fixed-parameter algorithm design. (iii) It provides the current best parameter dependence for this problem.
