Summary: We give a simple and intuitive fixed parameter tractable algorithm for the odd cycle transversal problem, running in time \(O(3^{k } \cdot k \cdot |E| \cdot |V|)\). Our algorithm is best viewed as a reinterpretation of the classical iterative compression algorithm for odd cycle transversal by B. Reed et al. [Oper. Res. Lett. 32, No. 4, 299–301 (2004; Zbl 1052.05061)].
