Abstract
Sometimes the inventor of a “method” deserves more credit than the one who applies it to obtain results, but it is often harder to trace the origin of a method than a theorem. The “Coefficient Extraction Method” used by Lokshtanov and his co-authors is traced to earlier methods involving polynomial equations.
