            The proposed project aims at analyzing fundamental problems from combinatorics using the m
            algorithmic insights to such problems. The problems considered will be treated on a genera
                                                                                                      
            developed general methods will also be applied to specific open problems. Classes of dense
            Dense combinatorial objects appear in extremal combinatorics and tools developed to handle
            computer science. The project will focus on extending known methods to new classes of comb
                                                                                                      
            most current techniques including Razborov flag algebras to problems from extremal combina
            also be considered.                                                                       
            On the other hand, algorithmic applications often include manipulating with sparse objects
                                                                                                      
            and more general minor-closed classes of graphs. The project objectives include providing 
            sparse objects using both classical tools based on the theory of graph minors as well as n
