Abstract

A diamond is a graph obtained by removing an edge from a complete graph on four vertices. A graph is diamond-free if it does not contain an induced diamond. The Diamond-free Edge Deletion problem asks to find whether there exist at most k edges in the input graph whose deletion results in a diamond-free graph. The problem was proved to be NP-complete and a polynomial kernel of O(k^4) vertices was found by Fellows et. al. (Discrete Optimization, 2011). 

In this paper, we give an improved kernel of O(k^3) vertices for Diamond-free Edge Deletion. We give an alternative proof of the NP-completeness of the problem and observe that it cannot be solved in time 2^{o(k)} * n^{O(1)}, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails.
