The excluded minors for -gainable and regular biased graphs

Nick Brettell, Rutger Campbell, Daryl Funk +1

We prove that a biased graph is gainable over the group if and only if it contains no minor isomorphic to , , or . We develo…

Binary matroids and degree-boundedness for pivot-minors

Rutger Campbell, James Davies, Robert Hickingbotham

We prove that for every bipartite graph and positive integer , the class of -subgraph-free graphs excluding as a pivot-minor has bounded average degree. Our pro…

Blind cop-width and balanced minors of graphs

Hector Buffière, Rutger Campbell, Kevin Hendrey +1

We investigate a pursuit-evasion game on an undirected graph in which a robber, moving at a fixed constant speed, attempts to evade a team of cops who are blind to the robber's loc…

Turán's theorem for Dowling geometries

Rutger Campbell, Donggyu Kim, Jorn van der Pol

The Dowling geometry , where is a finite group, is a matroid that generalizes the complete-graphic matroid . We determine the maximum size of an -free…

The excluded minors of the class of spike minors

Sam Bastida, Nick Brettell, Rutger Campbell +4

Mayhew et al.\ (2021) posed the problem of showing that the minor-closed class of spikes and their minors has a finite set of excluded minors and describing all of them. In this pa…

The Erdős-Pósa property for circle graphs as vertex-minors

Rutger Campbell, J. Pascal Gollin, Meike Hatzel +4

We prove that for any circle graph with at least one edge and for any positive integer , there exists an integer so that every graph either has a vertex-minor…
