Lower Bounds for the Football Pool Problem for 7 and 8 Matches
Let k3(n) denote the minimal cardinality of a ternary code of length n and covering radius one. In this paper we show k3(7) ≥ 156 and k3(8) ≥ 402 improving on the best previou...

Algorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized by Clique-width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...
