We initiate a systematic study of the ROW DELETION(B) problem on matrices: Given an input matrix A and a fixed "forbidden submatrix" B, the task is to remove a minimum number of rows from A such that no row or column permutation of B occurs as a submatrix in the resulting matrix. An application of this problem can be found, for instance, in the construction of perfect phylogenies. Establishing a strong connection to variants of the NP-complete HITTING SET problem, we describe and analyze structural properties of B that make ROW DELETION(B)NP-complete. On the positive side, the close relation with HITTING SET problems yields constant-factor polynomial-time approximation algorithms and fixed-parameter tractability results.

We study the General Position Subset Selection problem: Given a set of points in the plane, find a maximum-cardinality subset of points in general position. We prove that General Position Subset Selection is NP-hard, APX-hard, and present several fixed-parameter tractability results for the problem as well as a subexponential running time lower bound based on the Exponential Time Hypothesis.

Using analytic methods from the dynamical systems theory, some new nonlinear wave equations are investigated, which have exact explicit parametric representations of breaking loop-solutions under some fixed parameter conditions. It is shown that these parametric representations are associated with some families of open level-curves of traveling wave systems corresponding to such nonlinear wave equations, each of which lies in an area bounded by a singular straight line and the stable and the unstable manifolds of a saddle point of such a system.
