On Detecting -Induced Minors for Small

Tala Eagling-Vose, Barnaby Martin, Daniël Paulusma +1

We consider the -Induced Minor problem: for a fixed graph~, decide whether a given graph contains as an induced minor. While the problem is known to be NP-complete fo…

Tree independence number III. Thetas, prisms and stars

Maria Chudnovsky, Sepehr Hajebi, Nicolas Trotignon

We prove that for every , there exists such that every (theta, prism, )-free graph has tree independence number at most (whe…

On treewidth and maximum cliques

Maria Chudnovsky, Nicolas Trotignon

We construct classes of graphs that are variants of the so-called layered wheel. One of their key properties is that while the treewidth is bounded by a function of the clique numb…

Lollipops, dense cycles and chords

Zdeněk Dvořák, Beatriz Martins, Stéphan Thomassé +1

In 1980, Gupta, Kahn and Robertson proved that every graph with minimum degree at least contains a cycle containing at least vertices each having at least $…

Pathographs and some (un)decidability results

Daniel Carter, Nicolas Trotignon

We introduce pathographs as a framework to study graph classes defined by forbidden structures, including forbidding induced subgraphs, minors, etc. Pathographs approximately gener…

Every Graph is Essential to Large Treewidth

Bogdan Alecu, Édouard Bonnet, Pedro Bureo Villafana +1

We show that for every graph , there is a hereditary weakly sparse graph class of unbounded treewidth such that the -free (i.e., excluding as an induced su…
