…cs, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw, will run the Limits of Structural Tractability (BUKA) project. The aim of the project is to combine sparsity theory and twin-width theory into a unified theory of structural tractability. As a result, all tractable classes will be characterised. This requires developing a systematic understanding of the logical structure, which underlies algorithmic tractability. The research team will apply and…

The team examined earlier data and worked to rule out other possible light sources. Their analysis ultimately confirmed at least fourteen irregular light pulses over a 120-day period, likely only a fraction of the total number.   What pr…
