Abstract

We introduce the basic class W[1] and prove the fundamental analogue of the Cook–Levin Theorem. This is central to much of the hardness theory for parameterized complexity.

Fußnoten
1
Of course, here we are using graphs for simplicity, but really this would be a τ-structure \(\mathcal{A}\) for some signature τ of the formulae φ. Graphs are universal anyway.
 
2
Note that the dual graph of a 2-interval graph is not necessarily a 2-interval graph so there is no contradiction from 1.
 
3
The definition of multiple interval graph in the previous exercise. For more hardness results for multiple interval graphs we refer the reader to Jiang [417] and Jiang and Zhang [418].
