Parameterized Complexity and Algorithms

Dear Colleagues,

The past three decades have witnessed remarkable success in the research and applications of parameterized complexity theory. On the one hand, we have seen advancements in theories such as tighter lower bounds, sublinear algorithms, parameterized distributed algorithms, approximate kernelization, etc. On the other hand, its applications have disseminated to diverse domains such as algorithmic graph theory, algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, bioinformatics, machine learning, multiagent systems, planning and scheduling, big data science, etc. In this Special Issue of Algorithms on “Parameterized Algorithms and Complexity”, we aim to take stock of the progress so far and formulate directions for fruitful future research on parameterized complexity at the crossroads of various disciplines. We invite scholars to contribute new or improved results of the parameterized complexity of combinatorial problems originating from different areas, emerging algorithmic techniques or paradigms of parameterized complexity, and surveys on the recent advances of parameterized complexity used in those areas.
