Polynomial-time computation of poset dimension from a linear extension graph

From papers

Let PP be a poset and let GL(P)G_L(P) be its linear extension graph, whose vertices are the linear extensions of PP. The dimension dim(P)\dim(P) is the minimum size of a realizer of PP, that is, a set of linear extensions whose intersection is PP.

Polynomial-time dimension conjecture. The dimension of a poset given its linear extension graph can be determined in polynomial time.

The proposition preceding this conjecture gives a quasi-polynomial-time algorithm, while the conjecture asks whether this can be improved to polynomial time. This would match the expected complexity suggested by the exponential size of a linear extension graph relative to the underlying poset.
