  1. Assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), a result of Marx (ToC’10) implies that there is no f (k) · n^o(k/ log k) time algorithm that can solve 2-CSPs with k constraints (over a domain of arbitrary large size n) for any computable function f . This lower bound is widely used to show that certain parameterized problems cannot be solved in time f (k) · n^o(k/ log k) time (assuming the ETH). The purpose of this note is to give a streamlined proof of this result.

    We revisit the recent polynomial-time algorithm for the Max Weight Independent Set (MWIS) problem in bounded-degree graphs that do not contain a fixed graph whose every component is a subdivided claw as an induced subgraph [Abrishami, Chudnovsky, Dibek, Rzążewski, SODA 2022]. First, we show that with an arguably simpler approach we can obtain a faster algorithm with running time n^{𝒪(Δ²)}, where n is the number of vertices of the instance and Δ is the maximum degree. Then we combine our technique with known results concerning tree decompositions and provide a polynomial-time algorithm for MWIS in graphs excluding a fixed graph whose every component is a subdivided claw as an induced subgraph, and a fixed biclique as a subgraph.
