Faster Deterministic Algorithms for Packing, Matching and $t$-Dominating Set Problems

Abstract

In this paper, we devise three deterministic algorithms for solving the $m$-set $k$-packing, $m$-dimensional $k$-matching, and $t$-dominating set problems in time $O^*(5.44^{mk})$, $O^*(5.44^{(m-1)k})$ and $O^*(5.44^{t})$, respectively. Although recently there has been remarkable progress on randomized solutions to those problems, our bounds make good improvements on the best known bounds for deterministic solutions to those problems.
