....function of the parameter k. The instance I is then exhaustively analyzed, and a solution for I can be lifted to a solution for I, in the case where a solution exists. We illustrate the method with the problems Vertex Cover and Max Leaf Spanning Tree [GJ] defined below) Theorem 2. 7 (Buss [Bu]) Vertex Cover can be solved in time O(n k ) Proof. Observe that for a simple graph H any vertex of degree greater than k must belong to every k element vertex cover of H. Step 1: Locate all vertices in H of degree greater than k; let p equal the number of such vertices. If p k, there is ....

....another definition of feasible higher type computation, namely 8f: 8x:W (x) W (f(x) W (F (f) in a suitable second order system. In an earlier draft of this work we used the functions D(a; b) j P (b; a) and E(a; b) j P (b; P (b; a) as initial functions; Sam Buss pointed out to us [B2] that these two can be eliminated in favor of the single predecessor function, p. See the comments near the end of Part II for a discussion of how D and E are still of interest. 24 Chapter 3 Polytime As a motivating example, consider the definition of the fi function (similar to the smash ....
