Abstract Let K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} be the class of all structures 𝔄 such that the automorphism group of 𝔄 has at most c ⁢ n d ⁢ n cn^{dn} orbits in its componentwise action on the set of 𝑛-tuples with pairwise distinct entries, for some constants c , d c,d with d < 1 d<1 . We show that K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} is precisely the class of finite covers of first-order reducts of unary structures, and also that K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} is precisely the class of first-order reducts of finite covers of unary structures. It follows that the class of first-order reducts of finite covers of unary structures is closed under taking model companions and model-complete cores, which is an important property when studying the constraint satisfaction problem for structures from K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} . We also show that Thomas’ conjecture holds for K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} : all structures in K exp + \mathcal{K}_{{\operatorname{exp}}{+}} have finitely many first-order reducts up to first-order interdefinability.

Theoretical Results

Treewidth and hypertree width have proven to be highly successful structural parameters in the context of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). When either of these parameters is bounded by a constant, then CSP becomes solvable in polynomial time. However, here the order of the polynomial in the running time depends on the width, and this is known to be unavoidable; therefore, the problem is not fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by either of these width measures. Here we introduce an enhancement of tree and hypertree width through a novel notion of thresholds, allowing the associated decompositions to take into account information about the computational costs associated with solving the given CSP instance. Aside from introducing these notions, we obtain efficient theoretical as well as empirical algorithms for computing threshold treewidth and hypertree width and show that these parameters give rise to fixed-parameter algorithms for CSP as well as other, more general problems. We complement our theoretical results with experimental evaluations in terms of heuristics as well as exact methods based on SAT/SMT encodings.
