We examine exact algorithms for the NP-hard Graph Bipartization problem. The task is, given a graph, to find a minimum set of vertices to delete to make it bipartite. Based on the " iterative compression " method introduced by Reed, Smith, and Vetta in 2004, we present new algorithms and experimental results. The worst-case time complexity is improved. Based on new structural insights, we give a simplified correctness proof. This also allows us to establish a heuristic improvement that in particular speeds up the search on dense graphs. Our best algorithm can solve all instances from a testbed from computational biology within minutes, whereas established methods are only able to solve about half of the instances within reasonable time.
