The maximum cut problem in graphs and its generalizations are fundamental combinatorial problems. Several of these cut problems were recently shown to be fixed-parameter tractable and admit polynomial kernels when parameterized above the tight lower bound measured by the size and order of the graph. In this paper we continue this line of research and considerably improve several of those results:We show that an algorithm by Crowston et al. (Algorithmica 72(3):734–757, 2015) for(Signed) Max-Cut Above Edwards−Erdős Boundcan be implemented so as to run inlinear time; this significantly improves the previous analysis with run time.We give anasymptotically optimalkernel for(Signed) Max-Cut Above Edwards−Erdős BoundwithO(k) vertices, improving a kernel withvertices by Crowston et al. (Theor Comput Sci 513:53–64, 2013).We improveallknown kernels for parameterizations above strongly-extendible properties (a generalization of theMax-Cutresults) by Crowston et al. (Proceedings of FSTTCS 2013, Leibniz international proceedings in informatics, Guwahati, 2013) fromvertices toO(k) vertices.Therefore,Max Acyclic Subdigraphparameterized above Poljak–Turzík bound admits a kernel withO(k) vertices and can be solved intime; this answers an open question by Crowston et al. (Proceedings of FSTTCS 2012, Leibniz international proceedings in informatics, Hyderabad, 2012).All presented kernels can be computed in timeO(km).
