Abstract
Approximation algorithms and parameterized complexity are two classic approaches for coping with NP-hard problems. The field of parameterized approximation which combines the two approaches has flourished in recent years, with a myriad of algorithmic results as well as lower bounds. In this survey we give an introduction to the field and highlight some of the main techniques developed for the design of parameterized approximation algorithms and for deriving hardness results.
期刊介绍:
Computer Science Review, a publication dedicated to research surveys and expository overviews of open problems in computer science, targets a broad audience within the field seeking comprehensive insights into the latest developments. The journal welcomes articles from various fields as long as their content impacts the advancement of computer science. In particular, articles that review the application of well-known Computer Science methods to other areas are in scope only if these articles advance the fundamental understanding of those methods.
