Clique-width and tree-width of sparse graphs
Tree-width and clique-width are two important graph complexity measures that serve as parameters in many fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms. The same classes of sparse graphs, in particular of planar graphs and of graphs of bounded degree have bounded tree-width and bounded clique-width. We prove that, for sparse graphs, clique-width is polynomially bounded in terms of tree-width. For p...
متن کاملPolynomial-time Algorithm for Isomorphism of Graphs with Clique-width at most 3
The clique-width is a measure of complexity of decomposing graphs into certain tree-like structures. The class of graphs with bounded clique-width contains bounded tree-width graphs. While there are many results on the graph isomorphism problem for bounded treewidth graphs, very little is known about isomorphism of bounded cliquewidth graphs. We give the first polynomial-time graph isomorphism ...
متن کاملA comparison of two approaches for polynomial time algorithms computing basic graph parameters
In this paper we compare and illustrate the algorithmic use of graphs of bounded treewidth and graphs of bounded clique-width. For this purpose we give polynomial time algorithms for computing the four basic graph parameters independence number, clique number, chromatic number, and clique covering number on a given tree structure of graphs of bounded tree-width and graphs of bounded clique-widt...
متن کاملA Natural Generalization of Bounded Tree-Width and Bounded Clique-Width
We investigate a new width parameter, the fusion-width of a graph. It is a natural generalization of the tree-width, yet strong enough that not only graphs of bounded tree-width, but also graphs of bounded clique-width, trivially have bounded fusion-width. In particular, there is no exponential growth between tree-width and fusion-width, as is the case between tree-width and clique-width. The n...
متن کاملChordal bipartite graphs of bounded tree- and clique-width
A bipartite graph is chordal bipartite if every cycle of length at least six has a chord. In the class of chordal bipartite graphs the tree-width and the clique-width are unbounded. Our main results are that chordal bipartite graphs of bounded vertex degree have bounded tree-width and that k-fork-free chordal bipartite graphs have bounded clique-width, where a k-fork is the graph arising from a...
