TitreDouble-exponential and triple-exponential bounds for choosability problems parameterized by treewidth 
RésuméChoosability, introduced by Erdos, Rubin, and Taylor [Congr. Number. 1979], is a well-studied concept in graph theory: we say that a graph is $c$-choosable if for any assignment of a list of $c$ colors to each vertex, there is a proper coloring where each vertex uses a color from its list. We study the complexity of deciding choosability on graphs of bounded treewidth. It follows from earlier work that 3-choosability can be decided in time $2^{2^{O(w)}}·n^{O(1)}$ on graphs of treewidth $w$. We complement this result by a matching lower bound giving evidence that double-exponential dependence on treewidth may be necessary for the problem: we show that an algorithm with running time $2^{2^{o(w)}}·n^{O(1)}$ would violate the Exponential-Time Hypothesis (ETH). We consider also the optimization problem where the task is to delete the minimum number of vertices to make the graph 4-choosable and demonstrate that dependence on treewidth becomes triple-exponential for this problem: it can be solved in time $2^{2^{2^{O(w)}}}·n^{O(1)}$ on graphs of treewidth $w$, but an algorithm with running time $2^{2^{2^{o(w)}}}·n^{O(1)}$ would violate ETH. The significance of the results is that these problems are apparently the first fairly natural graph-theoretic problems that require double-exponential or triple-exponential dependence on treewidth. Joint work with Dániel Marx.
