This dissertation is concerned with new results in the area of parameterized algorithms and complexity. We develop a new technique for hard graph problems that generalizes and unifies established methods such as Color-Coding, representative families, labelled walks and algebraic fingerprinting. At the heart of the approach lies an algebraic formulation of the problems, which is effected by means of a suitable exterior algebra. This allows us to estimate the number of simple paths of given length in directed graphs faster than before. Additionally, we give fast deterministic algorithms for finding paths of given length if the input graph contains only few of such paths. Moreover, we develop faster deterministic algorithms to find spanning tr...
