Characterizing Graphs of Small Carving-Width
نویسندگان
چکیده
We characterize all graphs that have carving-width at most k for k = 1, 2, 3. In particular, we show that a graph has carving-width at most 3 if and only if it has maximum degree at most 3 and treewidth at most 2. This enables us to identify the immersion obstruction set for graphs of carving-width at most 3.

Isoperimetric Inequalities and the Width Parameters of Graphs
We relate the isoperimetric inequalities with many width parameters of graphs: treewidth, pathwidth and the carving width. Using these relations, we deduce 1. A lower bound for the treewidth in terms of girth and average degree 2. The exact values of the pathwidth and carving width of the d– dimensional hypercube, Hd 3. That treewidth (Hd) = Θ (
متن کاملTangle-tree duality: in graphs, matroids and beyond⇤
We apply a recent duality theorem for tangles in abstract separation systems to derive tangle-type duality theorems for width-parameters in graphs and matroids. We further derive a duality theorem for the existence of clusters in large data sets. Our applications to graphs include new, tangle-type, duality theorems for tree-width, path-width, and tree-decompositions of small adhesion. Conversel...
متن کاملThe Effect of Planarization on Width
We study the effects of planarization (the construction of a planar diagram D from a non-planar graph G by replacing each crossing by a new vertex) on graph width parameters. We show that for treewidth, pathwidth, branchwidth, clique-width, and tree-depth there exists a family of n-vertex graphs with bounded parameter value, all of whose planarizations have parameter value Ω(n). However, for ba...
متن کاملFinding branch-decompositions of matroids, hypergraphs, and more
Given n subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space over a fixed finite field F, we wish to find a “branch-decomposition” of these subspaces of width at most k, that is a subcubic tree T with n leaves mapped bijectively to the subspaces such that for every edge e of T , the sum of subspaces associated with leaves in one component of T −e and the sum of subspaces associated with leaves in the...
متن کاملSquare Roots of Minor Closed Graph Classes
Let G be a graph class. The square root of G contains all graphs whose square belong in G. We prove that if G is non-trivial and minor closed, then all graphs in its square root have carving-width bounded by some constant depending only on G. As a consequence, every square root of such a graph class has a linear time recognition algorithm.
