Abstract
We present new kernelization results for the s -cycle transversal problem for s > 3. In particular, we show a 6k 2 kernel for 4-cycle transversal and a O(k s − 1) kernel for s -cycle transversal when s > 4. We prove the NP-completeness of s -cycle transversal on planar graphs and obtain a 74k kernel for 4-cycle transversal on planar graphs. We also give several kernelization results for a related problem ( ≤ s)-cycle transversal.
