Parameterized complexity

a hierarchy of parameterized complexity classes whose hard problems, such as k-clique, are believed not to be fixed-parameter tractable.

In parameterized complexity, W-hierarchy refers to a hierarchy of parameterized complexity classes whose hard problems, such as k-clique, are believed not to be fixed-parameter tractable. This meaning comes from Downey (1995) in Theoretical Computer Science.[1]
