Faster deterministic algorithm for Co-Path Set

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In the CO-PATH SET problem, the input is a graph G and an integer k, and the goal is to decide whether there is a set of at most k edges whose removal from G results in a graph in which every connected component is a path. In this paper we give a deterministic O(2k)-time algorithm for CO-PATH SET.
