Abstract
We give a simple and intuitive fixed parameter tractable algorithm for the Odd Cycle Transversal problem, running in time O(3k ·k ·|E| ·|V|). Our algorithm is best viewed as a reinterpretation of the classical Iterative Compression algorithm for Odd Cycle Transversal by Reed, Smith and Vetta [8].
