Contraction Bidimensionality: The Accurate Picture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide new combinatorial theorems on the structure of graphs that are contained as contractions in graphs of large treewidth. As a consequence of our combinatorial results we unify and significantly simplify contraction bidimensionality theory—the meta algorithmic framework to design efficient parameterized and approximation algorithms for contraction closed parameters.

Bidimensionality
1 PROBLEM DEFINITION The theory of bidimensionality provides general techniques for designing efficient fixed-parameter algorithms and approximation algorithms for a broad range of NP-hard graph problems in a broad range of graphs. This theory applies to graph problems that are " bidi-mensional " in the sense that (1) the solution value for the k ×k grid graph and similar graphs grows with k, t...
متن کاملThe Bidimensionality Theory and Its Algorithmic Applications
This paper surveys the theory of bidimensionality. This theory characterizes a broad range of graph problems (‘bidimensional’) that admit efficient approximate or fixed-parameter solutions in a broad range of graphs. These graph classes include planar graphs, map graphs, bounded-genus graphs and graphs excluding any fixed minor. In particular, bidimensionality theory builds on the Graph Minor T...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for Hard Graph Problems: Bidimensionality, Minors, and Local Treewidth
This paper surveys the theory of bidimensional graph problems. We summarize the known combinatorial and algorithmic results of this theory, the foundational Graph Minor results on which this theory is based, and the remaining open problems.
متن کاملBidimensionality of Geometric Intersection Graphs
Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric intersection graphs GB where each body of the collection B is represented by a vertex, and two vertices of GB are adjacent if the intersection of the correspon...
متن کاملBidimensionality and Parameterized Algorithms∗
We provide an exposition of the main results of the theory of bidimensionality in parameterized algorithm design. This theory applies to graph problems that are bidimensional in the sense that i) their solution value is not increasing when we take minors or contractions of the input graph and ii) their solution value for the (triangulated) (k × k)-grid graph grows as a quadratic function of k. ...
