In the last year alone, four new applications of Ramsey theory to posets have produced solutions to some challenging combinatorial problems. First, Kierstead and Trotter showed that dimension for interval orders can be characterized by a single ramsey trail by proving that interval orders of sufficiently large dimension contain all small interval orders as subposets. Second, Winkler and Trotter introduced a notion of Ramsey theory for probability spaces and used the resulting theroy to show that interval orders can have fractional dimension arbitrarily close to 4. Third, Felsner, Fishburn and Trotter developed an extension of the product Ramsey theorem to show that there exists a finite 3-dimensional poset which is not a sphere order. Fourth, Agnarsson, Felsner and Trotter combined Ramsey theoretic techniques with other combinatorial tools to determine an asymtotic formula for the maximum number of edges in a graph whose incidence poset has dimension at most 4. In this paper, we outline how these applications were developed. Full details will appear in individual journal articles. This article also includes a brief sketch of how the applications of Ramsey theoretic techniques to posets have evolved.","PeriodicalId":144845,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Trends in Discrete Mathematics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129701154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give some examples of how xed-parameter tractability techniques can deliver practical algorithms in two diierent ways: (1) by providing useful exact algorithms for small parameter ranges, and (2) by providing guidance in the design of heuristic algorithms. In particular, we describe an improved FPT ker-nelization algorithm for Vertex Cover, a practical FPT algorithm for the Maximum Agreement Subtree (MAST) problem parameterized by the number of species to be deleted, and new general heuristics for these problems based on FPT techniques. In the course of making this overview, we also investigate some structural and hardness issues. We prove that an important naturally parameterized problem in artiicial intelligence, STRIPS Planning (where the parameter is the size of the plan) is complete for W1]. As a corollary, this implies that k-Step Reachability for Petri Nets is complete for W1]. We describe how the concept of treewidth can be applied to STRIPS Planning and other problems of logic to obtain FPT results. We describe a surprising structural result concerning the top end of the parameterized complexity hierarchy: the naturally parameterized Graph k-Coloring problem cannot be resolved with respect to XP either by showing membership in XP, or by showing hardness for XP without settling the P = NP question one way or the other.","PeriodicalId":144845,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Trends in Discrete Mathematics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122374502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
