THE MODERN INCARNATION<br />

◮ This is the exciting thing of the last decade.<br />

◮ The development of tools to match (up to O) upper and<br />

lower bounds, beginning with Cai and Juedes.<br />

◮ M[1] =FPT or ETH implying tight membership of XP.<br />

◮ Perhaps not known by every<strong>on</strong>e:<br />

sd = inf{ɛ | ∃O ∗ (2 ɛn ) algorithm for n variable d −CNFSAT}.<br />

◮ Clearly sd ≤ sd+1. We can define s∞ = limd→∞ sd.<br />

◮ Impagliazzo and Paturi noted that ETH means that<br />

infinitely many sd < sd+1.<br />

◮ SETH is that s∞ = 1.<br />

◮ Can be used for str<strong>on</strong>g lower bounds, see Cygan, Dell,<br />

Lokshtanov, Marx, Nederlof, Okamoto, Paturi, Saurabh,<br />

Wahlström applied to SET SPLITTING and HITTING SET.
