A
linear matching
consists of 2
n
vertices ordered linearly, together with
n
vertex-disjoint edges. In this article, we study the
Linear Matching Inclusion
problem, which takes two linear matchings, called the
pattern
and the
target
, and asks if there is an order-preserving mapping of the pattern into the target. We consider several parameterizations of this problem, for which we obtain parameterized algorithms and hardness results. In addition, we settle the parameterized complexity of the related
Nesting-Free 2-Interval Pattern
problem.
