A cactus is a connected graph that does not contain $K_4 - e$ as a minor. Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and integer $k ge 0$, Cactus Vertex Deletion (also known as Diamond Hitting Set) is the problem of deciding whether $G$ has a vertex set of size at most $k$ whose removal leaves a forest of cacti. The current best deterministic parameterized algorithm for this problem was due to Bonnet et al. [WG 2016], which runs in time $26^kn^{O(1)}$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of $G$. In this paper, we design a deterministic algorithm for Cactus Vertex Deletion, which runs in time $17.64^kn^{O(1)}$. As a straightforward application of our algorithm, we give a $17.64^kn^{O(1)}$-time algorithm for Even Cycle Transversal. The idea behind this improvement is to apply the measure and conquer analysis with a slightly elaborate measure of instances.
In the Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem, the input is a directed graph $D$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and an integer $k$. The objective is to determine whether there exists a set of at most $k$ vertices intersecting every directed cycl
The pathwidth of a graph is a measure of how path-like the graph is. Given a graph G and an integer k, the problem of finding whether there exist at most k vertices in G whose deletion results in a graph of pathwidth at most one is NP- complete. We i
In the Disjoint Paths problem, the input is an undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a set of $k$ vertex pairs, ${s_i,t_i}_{i=1}^k$, and the task is to find $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths connecting $s_i$ to $t_i$. The problem was shown to hav
Graph-modification problems, where we add/delete a small number of vertices/edges to make the given graph to belong to a simpler graph class, is a well-studied optimization problem in all algorithmic paradigms including classical, approximation and p
A graph is $d$-orientable if its edges can be oriented so that the maximum in-degree of the resulting digraph is at most $d$. $d$-orientability is a well-studied concept with close connections to fundamental graph-theoretic notions and applications a
