That is, given a graph $G$ and integers $k$, $t$, the task is to find a vertex set $X$ with $|X| \\le k$ and $|N(X)| \\le t$. We show that\n  - the problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) when parameterized by $t$ but W[1]-hard when parameterized by $k$, and\n  - a terminal variant of the problem, where $X$ must contain a given vertex $s$, is W[1]-hard when parameterized either by $k$ or by $t$ alone, but is FPT when parameterized by $k + t$.\n  We also show that if we consider e"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1304.6189","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
