Abstract

In Chapt. 2, we went over some of the central notions and results from the theory of classical complexity, that play a role in this thesis. In this chapter, we will give a similar overview of the area of parameterized complexity theory.

Parameterized complexity is based on a deal with the devil of intractability.
