Acactusis a connected graph that does not containK4−eas a minor. Given a graphG= (V,E) and an integerk≥ 0,Cactus Vertex Deletion(also known asDiamond Hitting Set) is the problem of deciding whetherGhas a vertex set of size at mostkwhose removal leaves a forest of cacti. The previously best deterministic parameterized algorithm for this problem was due to Bonnet et al. [WG ], which runs in time 26knO(1), wherenis the number of vertices ofG. In this paper, we design a deterministic algorithm forCactus Vertex Deletion, which runs in time 17.64knO(1). As an almost straightforward application of our algorithm, we also give a deterministic 17.64knO(1)-time algorithm forEven Cycle Transversal, which improves the previous running time 50knO(1)of the known deterministic parameterized algorithm due to Misra et al. [WG ].
