Abstract

We show that Edge Dominating Set, Hamiltonian Cycle, and Graph Coloring are W[1]-hard parameterized by clique-width. It was an open problem, explicitly mentioned in several papers, whether any of these problems is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by the clique-width, that is, solvable in time g(k) · n O(1) on n-vertex graphs of clique-width k, where g is some function of k only. Our results imply that the running time O(n f(k) ) of many clique-width based algorithms is essentially the best we can hope for (up to a widely believed assumption from parameterized complexity, namely F P T 6= W[1]).
