Abstract

In this paper we introduce the Maximum Happy Set problem (MaxHS) and study its parameterized complexity: For an undirected graph G = (V,E) and a subset S ⊆ V of vertices, a vertex v is happy if v and all its neighbors are in S; and otherwise unhappy. Given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and an integer k, the goal of MaxHS is to find a subset S ⊆ V of k vertices such that the number of happy vertices is maximized. In this paper we first show that MaxHS is W[1]-hard when parameterized by k. Then, we prove the fixed-parameter tractability of MaxHS when parameterized by the tree-width, the clique-width and k, the neighborhood diversity, or the twin-cover number.
