Following some recent FPT algorithms parameterized by the width of a given tree-partition due to Bodlaender, Cornelissen, and van der Wegen, we consider the parameterized problem of computing a decomposition. We prove that computing an optimal tree-partition is XALP-complete, which is likely to exclude FPT algorithms. However, we prove that computing a tree-partition of approximate …

For fixed integers $r\ge 3, e\ge 3$, and $v\ge r+1$, let $f_r(n,v,e)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph in which the union of arbitrary $e$ distinct edges contains at least $v+1$ vertices. In 1973, Brown, Erdős and Sós initiated the study of the function $f_r(n,v,e)$ and they proved that $\Omega(n^{\frac{er-v}{e-1}})=f_r(n,v,e)=O(n^{\lceil\frac{er-v}{e-1}\rceil})$. … |

Finding the smallest integer $N=ES_d(n)$ such that in every configuration of $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in general position, there exist $n$ points in convex position is one of the most classical problems in extremal combinatorics, known as the Erdős-Szekeres problem. In 1935, Erdős and Szekeres famously conjectured that $ES_2(n)=2^{n−2}+1$ holds, which was nearly settled by … |
