On the parameterized complexity of interval scheduling with eligible machine sets
Published in Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Volume 144, p.103533., 2024
We show W[1]-hardness for the number of machines \(m\) in Interval Scheduling with Eligible Machines, prove NP-hardness for bounded \(p_{\max}\), and give an FPT algorithm for the combined parameter \(p_{\max} + m\).

Temporal Unit Interval Independent Sets
Published in 1st Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2022), 2022
We study the complexity of finding large independent sets in temporal unit interval graphs, and obtain hardness, constant-factor approximation, and fixed-parameter tractability results.
