Editing to a planar graph of given degrees. (English) Zbl 1356.68096

Summary: We consider the following graph modification problem. Let the input consist of a graph \(G = (V, E)\), a weight function \(w : V \cup E \rightarrow \mathbb{N}\), a cost function \(c : V \cup E \rightarrow \mathbb{N}_0\) and a degree function \(\delta : V \rightarrow \mathbb{N}_0\), together with three integers \(k_v\), \(k_e\) and \(C\). The question is whether we can delete a set of vertices of total weight at most \(k_v\) and a set of edges of total weight at most \(k_e\) so that the total cost of the deleted elements is at most \(C\) and every non-deleted vertex \(v\) has degree \(\delta(v)\) in the resulting graph \(G^\prime\). We also consider the variant in which \(G^\prime\) must be connected. Both problems are known to be \(\mathsf{NP}\)-complete and \(\mathsf{W} [1]\)-hard when parameterized by \(k_v + k_e\). We prove that, when restricted to planar graphs, they stay \(\mathsf{NP}\)-complete but have polynomial kernels when parameterized by \(k_v + k_e\).
