Local linear set on graphs with bounded twin cover number. (English) Zbl 1516.68066

Summary: Inspired by recent results for the so-called fair and local linear problems, we define two problems, Local Linear Set and Local Linear Vertex Cover. Here the task is to find a set of vertices \(X\subseteq V\) (which is a vertex cover) of the input graph \((V, E)\) such that the local linear constraints \(\ell(v)\leq | X\cap N(v)|\leq u(v)\) hold for all \(v\in V\); here, \(\ell(v)\) and \(u(v)\) are on the input. We prove that both problems are in FPT for the parameter twin cover number (using integer linear programming).
