Circle graph obstructions under pivoting
A circle graph is the intersection graph of a set of chords of a circle. The class of circle graphs is closed under pivotminors. We determine the pivot-minor-minimal non-circle-graphs; there 15 obstructions. These obstructions are found, by computer search, as a corollary to Bouchet’s characterization of circle graphs under local complementation. Our characterization generalizes Kuratowski’s Th...
متن کاملTopological Obstructions to Graph Colorings
For any two graphs G and H Lovász has defined a cell complex Hom (G,H) having in mind the general program that the algebraic invariants of these complexes should provide obstructions to graph colorings. Here we announce the proof of a conjecture of Lovász concerning these complexes with G a cycle of odd length. More specifically, we show that If Hom (C2r+1, G) is k-connected, then χ(G) ≥ k + 4....
متن کاملGraph minors. X. Obstructions to tree-decomposition
Graphs in this paper are finite and undirected and may have loops or multiple edges. The vertexand edge-sets of a graph G are denoted by V(G) and E(G). If G, = ( V1, E,), G2 = ( V2, E2) are subgraphs of a graph G, we denote the graphs (V1n V2,E1nE,) and (V,u V2, EluEZ) by G,nG, and G, u GZ, respectively. A separation of a graph G is a pair (G,, G2) of subgraphs with G1 u G2 = G and E(G1 n G2) =...
متن کاملContraction obstructions for connected graph searching
We consider the connected variant of the classic mixed search game where, in each search step, cleaned edges form a connected subgraph. We consider graph classes with bounded connected monotone mixed search number and we deal with the the question weather the obstruction set, with respect of the contraction partial ordering, for those classes is finite. In general, there is no guarantee that th...
متن کاملEffective Computation of Immersion Obstructions for Unions of Graph Classes
In the final paper of the Graph Minors series N. Robertson and P. Seymour proved that graphs are well-quasi-ordered under the immersion ordering. A direct implication of this theorem is that each class of graphs that is closed under taking immersions can be fully characterized by forbidding a finite set of graphs (immersion obstruction set). However, as the proof of the well-quasi-ordering theo...
