The Parameterized Complexity of the Rainbow Subgraph Problem

The NP-hard RAINBOW SUBGRAPH problem, motivated from bioinformatics, is to find in an edge-colored graph a subgraph that contains each edge color exactly once and has at most \(k\) vertices. We examine the parameterized complexity of RAINBOW SUBGRAPH for paths, trees, and general graphs. We sho...
