Sparse graphs with bounded induced cycle packing number have logarithmic treewidth

M Bonamy, É Bonnet, H Déprés, L Esperet… - Journal of Combinatorial …, 2024 - Elsevier
A graph is O k-free if it does not contain k pairwise vertex-disjoint and non-adjacent cycles.
We prove that “sparse”(here, not containing large complete bipartite graphs as subgraphs) O …

[HTML][HTML] Treewidth versus clique number. III. Tree-independence number of graphs with a forbidden structure

C Dallard, M Milanič, K Štorgel - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2024 - Elsevier
We continue the study of (tw, ω)-bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in
which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, with the goal of …

Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions VII. Basic obstructions in H-free graphs

T Abrishami, B Alecu, M Chudnovsky, S Hajebi… - Journal of Combinatorial …, 2024 - Elsevier
We say a class C of graphs is clean if for every positive integer t there exists a positive
integer w (t) such that every graph in C with treewidth more than w (t) contains an induced …

Induced-minor-free graphs: Separator theorem, subexponential algorithms, and improved hardness of recognition

T Korhonen, D Lokshtanov - Proceedings of the 2024 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2024 - SIAM
A graph G contains a graph H as an induced minor if H can be obtained from G by vertex
deletions and edge contractions. The class of H-induced-minor-free graphs generalizes the …

Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions II. Toward walls and their line graphs in graphs of bounded degree

T Abrishami, M Chudnovsky, C Dibek, S Hajebi… - Journal of Combinatorial …, 2024 - Elsevier
This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced
subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers …

Tree decompositions meet induced matchings: beyond Max Weight Independent Set

PT Lima, M Milanič, P Muršič, K Okrasa… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
For a tree decomposition $\mathcal {T} $ of a graph $ G $, by $\mu (\mathcal {T}) $ we
denote the size of a largest induced matching in $ G $ all of whose edges intersect one bag …

Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions IV.(Even hole, diamond, pyramid)-free graphs

T Abrishami, M Chudnovsky, S Hajebi… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
A hole in a graph $ G $ is an induced cycle of length at least four, and an even hole is a hole
of even length. The diamond is the graph obtained from the complete graph $ K_4 $ by …

Tree independence number I.(Even hole, diamond, pyramid)‐free graphs

T Abrishami, B Alecu, M Chudnovsky… - Journal of Graph …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The tree‐independence number tree‐α treex02010α, first defined and studied by Dallard,
Milanič, and Štorgel, is a variant of treewidth tailored to solving the maximum independent …

Comparing width parameters on graph classes

N Brettell, A Munaro, D Paulusma, S Yang - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study how the relationship between non-equivalent width parameters changes once we
restrict to some special graph class. As width parameters, we consider treewidth, clique …
