Tree-width of graphs and surface duality
In Graph Minors III, Robertson and Seymour conjecture that the tree-width of a graph and that of its dual differ by at most one. In this paper, we prove that given a hypergraph H on a surface of Euler genus k, the tree-width of H∗ is at most the maximum of tw(H) + 1 + k and the maximum size of a hyperedge of H∗ minus one.
متن کاملTree-width of hypergraphs and surface duality
In Graph Minors III, Robertson and Seymour write:“It seems that the tree-width of a planar graph and the tree-width of its geometric dual are approximately equal — indeed, we have convinced ourselves that they differ by at most one.” They never gave a proof of this. In this paper, we prove a generalisation of this statement to embedding of hypergraphs on general surfaces, and we prove that our ...
متن کاملRank-width and tree-width of H-minor-free graphs
We prove that for any fixed r ≥ 2, the tree-width of graphs not containing Kr as a topological minor (resp. as a subgraph) is bounded by a linear (resp. polynomial) function of their rank-width. We also present refinements of our bounds for other graph classes such as Kr-minor free graphs and graphs of bounded genus.
متن کاملClique-width and tree-width of sparse graphs
Tree-width and clique-width are two important graph complexity measures that serve as parameters in many fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms. The same classes of sparse graphs, in particular of planar graphs and of graphs of bounded degree have bounded tree-width and bounded clique-width. We prove that, for sparse graphs, clique-width is polynomially bounded in terms of tree-width. For p...
متن کاملDeciding Clique-Width for Graphs of Bounded Tree-Width
We show that there exists a linear time algorithm for deciding whether a graph of bounded tree-width has clique-width k for some fixed integer k. Communicated by Giuseppe Liotta and Ioannis G. Tollis: submitted October 2001; revised July 2002 and February 2003. The work of the second author was supported by the German Research Association (DFG) grant WA 674/9-2. W. Espelage et al., Deciding Cli...
