چکیده
It is known that the list of excluded minors for the minor-closed class of graphs of path-width 6 3 numbers in the millions. However, if we restrict the class to 3-connected graphs of path-width 6 3, then we can characterize it by five excluded minors.

On the Structure of Graphs with Path-width at Most Two
Nancy G. Kinnersley and Michael A. Langston has determined the excluded minors for the class of graphs with pathwidth at most two by computer. Their list consisted of 110 graphs. Such a long list is difficult to handle and gives no insight to structural properties. We take a different route, and concentrate on the building blocks and how they are glued together. In this way, we get a characteri...
متن کاملMatching Integral Graphs of Small Order
In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...
متن کاملThe complexity of minimum-length path decompositions
We consider a bi-criteria generalization of the pathwidth problem, where, for given integers k, l and a graph G, we ask whether there exists a path decomposition P of G such that the width of P is at most k and the number of bags in P, i.e., the length of P, is at most l. We provide a complete complexity classification of the problem in terms of k and l for general graphs. Contrary to the origi...
متن کاملA Note on Graphs of Linear Rank-Width 1
We prove that a connected graph has linear rank-width 1 if and only if it is a distance-hereditary graph and its split decomposition tree is a path. An immediate consequence is that one can decide in linear time whether a graph has linear rank-width at most 1, and give an obstruction if not. Other immediate consequences are several characterisations of graphs of linear rankwidth 1. In particula...
متن کاملDistinguishing number and distinguishing index of natural and fractional powers of graphs
The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. For any $n in mathbb{N}$, the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...
