Optimal tree-decompositions with bags of bounded pathwidth

Kevin Hendrey, Robert Hickingbotham, Jędrzej Hodor +1

The paper proves that every planar graph admits an optimal-width tree‑decomposition whose bags induce subgraphs of pathwidth at most three, and extends similar bounded‑pathwidth ba…

The Dominating 4-Colour Theorem

António Girão, Freddie Illingworth, Bojan Mohar +6

A "dominating -model" in a graph is a sequence of pairwise vertex-disjoint connected subgraphs of , such that whenever every vertex…

Optimal Tree-Decompositions with Bags of Bounded Treewidth

Kevin Hendrey, David R. Wood

We prove that several natural graph classes have tree-decompositions with minimum width such that each bag has bounded treewidth. For example, every planar graph has a tree-decompo…

Defective and Clustered Colouring of Graphs with Given Girth

Marcin Briański, Robert Hickingbotham, David R. Wood

The defective chromatic number of a graph class is the minimum integer such that for some integer , every graph in is -colourable such that ea…

Structure of -Matching-Planar Graphs

Kevin Hendrey, Nikolai Karol, David R. Wood

For , we define a simple topological graph (that is, a graph drawn in the plane such that every pair of edges intersect at most once, including endpoints) to be…

Embedding Graphs of Simple Treewidth into Sparse Products

Kevin Hendrey, David R. Wood, Jung Hon Yip

We study embeddings of graphs with bounded treewidth or bounded simple treewidth into the undirected graph underlying the directed product of two directed graphs. If the factors ha…
