W[1]: removed another big-O
Line 40:
'''W[1]''' includes the first class of problems not believed to be in FPT.
 
An example is deciding if an ''n''-vertex graph contains an [[independent set]] of cardinality ''k''. This question can be decided in time <math>O(n^kn^2)</math> by inspecting all vertex subsets of size ''k''; this running time is not fixed-parameter tractable, and no algorithm with a running time of the form <math>O(f(k)n^{O(1)})</math> is known.
