Abstract

we study the computational complexity of two well-known graph transversal problems, namely Subset Feedback Vertex Set and Subset Odd Cycle Transversal, by restricting the input to H-free graphs, that is, to graphs that do not contain some fixed graph H as an induced subgraph. By combining known and new results, we determine the computational complexity of both problems on H-free graphs for every graph H except when H = sP1 + P4 for some s ≥ 1. As part of our approach, we introduce the Subset Vertex Cover problem and prove that it is polynomial-time solvable for (sP1 + P4)-free graphs for every s ≥ 1
