Abstract

A graph H is p-edge colorable if there is a coloring, such that for distinct, we have. The Maximum Edge-Colorable Subgraph problem takes as input a graph G and integers l and p, and the objective is to find a subgraph H of G and a p-edge-coloring of H, such that. We study the above problem from the viewpoint of Parameterized Complexity. We obtain FPT algorithms when parameterized by: (1) the vertex cover number of G, by using Integer Linear Programming, and (2) l, a randomized algorithm via a reduction to Rainbow Matching, and a deterministic algorithm by using color coding, and divide and color. With respect to the parameters, where k is one of the following: (1) the solution size, l, (2) the vertex cover number of G, and (3), where is the size of a maximum matching in G; we show that the (decision version of the) problem admits a kernel with vertices. Furthermore, we show that there is no kernel of size, for any and computable function f, unless NP coNP/poly.
