On the Parameterized Complexity of the $s$-Club Cluster Edge Deletion Problem (2205.10834v1)
Abstract: We study the parameterized complexity of the $s$-Club Cluster Edge Deletion problem: Given a graph $G$ and two integers $s \ge 2$ and $k \ge 1$, is it possible to remove at most $k$ edges from $G$ such that each connected component of the resulting graph has diameter at most $s$? This problem is known to be NP-hard already when $s = 2$. We prove that it admits a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm when parameterized by $s$ and the treewidth of the input graph.
