Research Type Theoretical We establish classical complexity results and parameterized complexity results when the problems are parameterized by the treewidth of the undirected argumentation graph. To obtain upper bounds for counting projected extensions, we introduce novel algorithms that exploit small treewidth of the undirected argumentation graph of the input instance by dynamic programming. Our algorithms run in double or triple exponential time in the treewidth, depending on the semantics under consideration. Finally, we establish lower bounds of bounded treewidth algorithms for counting extensions and projected extension under the exponential time hypothesis (ETH).

Open Source Code No The paper describes various algorithms and their complexity but does not provide any explicit statement about making their own implementation's source code available, nor does it provide a link to a repository for the methods described in this paper.
Open Datasets No The paper focuses on theoretical aspects of abstract argumentation and computational complexity. It uses conceptual 'argumentation frameworks' for examples (e.g., Example 1 and 2) but does not describe the use of any publicly available or open datasets for empirical evaluation, nor does it provide links or citations to such datasets.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical evaluation with datasets, therefore, there are no mentions of dataset splits for training, validation, or testing.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical, focusing on computational complexity and algorithm design. It does not present experimental results that would require a description of specific hardware used for computation.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and describes algorithms and complexity results. It does not provide details on specific software dependencies or version numbers for any implementation of these algorithms.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and analyzes the computational complexity of abstract argumentation problems. It does not include an experimental section or details regarding specific experimental setups, hyperparameters, or training configurations.
