Binary Space Partitions for Fat Rectangles
We consider the practical problem of constructing binary space partitions (BSPs) for a set S of n orthogonal, nonintersecting, two-dimensional rectangles in R3 such that the aspect...

Resolution Is Not Automatizable Unless W[P] Is Tractable
We show that neither Resolution nor tree-like Resolution is automatizable unless the class W[P] from the hierarchy of parameterized problems is fixed-parameter tractable by randomi...
