چکیده

In this paper we give ratio 4 deterministic and randomized approximation algorithms for the FEEDBACK ARC SET problem in bipartite tournaments. We also generalize these results to give a factor 4 deterministic approximation algorithm for FEEDBACK ARC SET problem in multipartite tournaments. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Linear Programming Based Approximation Algorithms for Feedback Set Problems in Bipartite Tournaments

We consider the feedback vertex set and feedback arc set problems in bipartite tournaments. We improve on recent results by giving a 2-approximation algorithm for the feedback vertex set problem. We show that this result is the best we can attain when using a certain linear program as the lower bound on the optimal value. For the feedback arc set problem in bipartite tournaments, we show that a...

Feedback arc set in bipartite tournaments is NP-complete

The Feedback Arc Set problem asks whether it is possible to delete at most k arcs to make a directed graph acyclic. We show that Feedback Arc Set is NPcomplete for bipartite tournaments, that is, directed graphs that are orientations of complete bipartite graphs.

Fixed-Parameter Tractability Results for Feedback Set Problems in Tournaments

Complementing recent progress on classical complexity and polynomial-time approximability of feedback set problems in (bipartite) tournaments, we extend and partially improve fixed-parameter tractability results for these problems. We show that Feedback Vertex Set in tournaments is amenable to the novel iterative compression technique. Moreover, we provide data reductions and problem kernels fo...

Faster Exact and Parameterized Algorithm for Feedback Vertex Set in Bipartite Tournaments

A bipartite tournament is a directed graph T := (A ∪ B,E) such that every pair of vertices (a, b), a ∈ A, b ∈ B are connected by an arc, and no arc connects two vertices of A or two vertices of B. A feedback vertex set is a set S of vertices in T such that T − S is acyclic. In this article we consider the Feedback Vertex Set problem in bipartite tournaments. Here the input is a bipartite tourna...

Parameterized algorithms for feedback set problems and their duals in tournaments

The parameterized feedback vertex (arc) set problem is to find whether there are k vertices (arcs) in a given graph whose removal makes the graph acyclic. The parameterized complexity of this problem in general directed graphs is a long standing open problem. We investigate the problems on tournaments, a well studied class of directed graphs. We consider both weighted and unweighted versions. W...
