Compendium of Parameterized Problems at Higher Levels of the Polynomial Hierarchy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a list of parameterized problems together with a complexity classification of whether they allow a fixed-parameter tractable reduction to SAT or not. These parameterized problems are based on problems whose complexity lies at the second level of the Polynomial Hierarchy or higher. The list will be updated as necessary.

The Parameterized Complexity of Reasoning Problems Beyond NP
Today’s propositional satisfiability (SAT) solvers are extremely powerful and can be used as an efficient back-end for solving NP-complete problems. However, many fundamental problems in knowledge representation and reasoning are located at the second level of the Polynomial Hierarchy or even higher, and hence polynomial-time transformations to SAT are not possible, unless the hierarchy collaps...
متن کاملParameterized Complexity Results for Agenda Safety in Judgment Aggregation
Many problems arising in computational social choice are of high computational complexity, and some are located at higher levels of the Polynomial Hierarchy. We argue that a parameterized complexity analysis provides valuable insight into the factors contributing to the complexity of these problems, and can lead to practically useful algorithms. As a case study, we consider the problem of agend...
متن کاملFixed-Parameter Tractability and Completeness I: Basic Results
For many fixed-parameter problems that are trivially soluable in polynomial time, such as (k-)DOMINATING SET, essentially no better algorithm is presently known than the one which tries all possible solutions. Other problems, such as (k-)FEEDBACK VERTEX SET, exhibit fixed-parameter tractability: for each fixed k the problem is soluable in time bounded by a polynomial of degree c, where c is a c...
متن کاملPolynomial Time Approximation Schemes and Parameterized Complexity
In this paper, we study the relationship between the approximability and the parameterized complexity of NP optimization problems. We introduce a notion of polynomial fixed-parameter tractability and prove that, under a very general constraint, an NP optimization problem has a fully polynomial time approximation scheme if and only if the problem is polynomial fixed-parameter tractable. By enfor...
متن کاملFixed-Parameter Tractable Reductions to SAT
Today’s SAT solvers have an enormous importance and impact in many practical settings. They are used as efficient back-end to solve many NP-complete problems. However, many computational problems are located at the second level of the Polynomial Hierarchy or even higher, and hence polynomial-time transformations to SAT are not possible, unless the hierarchy collapses. In certain cases one can b...
