Marx (STOC~2010, J.~ACM 2013) introduced the notion of submodular width of a conjunctive query (CQ) and showed that for any class $\Phi$ of Boolean CQs of bounded submodular width, the model-checking problem for $\Phi$ on the class of all…

It is already shown that a Boolean function for a NP-complete problem can be computed by a polynomial-sized circuit if its variables have enough number of automorphisms. Looking at this previous study from the different perspective gives us…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

We refine the complexity landscape for enumeration problems by introducing very low classes defined by using Boolean circuits as enumerators. We locate well-known enumeration problems, e.g., from graph theory, Gray code enumeration, and…

We define the parametric closure problem, in which the input is a partially ordered set whose elements have linearly varying weights and the goal is to compute the sequence of minimum-weight lower sets of the partial order as the weights…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal P$, we say that a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $[n]$ is $\mathcal P$-saturated if $\mathcal F$ does not contain an induced copy of $\mathcal P$, but adding any other set to $\mathcal F$ creates an induced…

Consider a matroid equipped with a labeling of its ground set to an abelian group. We define the label of a subset of the ground set as the sum of the labels of its elements. We study a collection of problems on finding bases and common…

Enumerating the result set of a first-order query over a relational structure of bounded degree can be done with linear preprocessing and constant delay. In this work, we extend this result towards the compressed perspective where the…

Characterizing the solution sets in a problem by closedness under operations is recognized as one of the key aspects of algorithm development, especially in constraint satisfaction. An example from the Boolean satisfiability problem is that…

A wide variety of problems in combinatorics and discrete optimization depend on counting the set $S$ of integer points in a polytope, or in some more general object constructed via discrete geometry and first-order logic. We take a tour…

The idea of enumeration algorithms with polynomial delay is to polynomially bound the running time between any two subsequent solutions output by the enumeration algorithm. While it is open for more than four decades if all minimal…

The distinguishing result of this paper is a $\mathbf{P}$-time enumerable partition of all the potential perfect matchings in a bipartite graph. This partition is a set of equivalence classes induced by the missing edges in the potential…

We study the problem of enumerating the satisfying valuations of a circuit while bounding the delay, i.e., the time needed to compute each successive valuation. We focus on the class of structured d-DNNF circuits originally introduced in…

We describe simple algebraic and combinatorial characterisations of finite relational core structures admitting finitely many obstructions. As a consequence, we show that it is decidable to determine whether a constraint satisfaction…
