چکیده
Definition 1. A graph G is a t × t grid if it consists of t 2 vertices forming a square t × t such that every two consecutive vertices in a row or in a colum are connected. As a result of previous excercises we know that a treewidth of a t × t grid is t. A treewidth of a graph can only decrease as a result of taking minors so we can conclude that if a graph contain a t × t grid as a minor it's treewidth is at least t. Following series of theorems gives us a symetric dependence.

Approximation Algorithms via Contraction DecompositionA preliminary version of this paper appears in Proceedings of the 18th Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, January 2007
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bounded treewidth (where the bound depends on k). This decomposition result parallels an analogous, simpler result for edge deletions instead of contractions, obtained in [Bak94, Epp00, DDO04, DHK05], and it generalizes a...
متن کاملConjunctive Query Containment Revisited
We consider the problems of conjunctive query containment and minimization, which are known to be NP-complete, and show that these problems can be solved in polynomial time for the class of acyclic queries. We then generalize the notion of acyclicity and deene a parameter called query width that captures the \degree of cyclicity" of a query: in particular, a query is acyclic if and only if its ...
متن کاملPrize-collecting Network Design on Planar Graphs
In this paper, we reduce Prize-Collecting Steiner TSP (PCTSP), Prize-Collecting Stroll (PCS), Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree (PCST), Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest (PCSF) and more generally Submodular Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest (SPCSF) on planar graphs (and more generally bounded-genus graphs) to the same problems on graphs of bounded treewidth. More precisely, we show any α-approximation ...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for coloring within 2 of the optimal chromatic number, which is essentially best possible, and generalizes the seminal result by Thomassen [32] for bounded-genus graphs. This result also improves our understanding from an algori...
متن کاملOn Star Coloring of Graphs
In this paper, we deal with the notion of star coloring of graphs. A star coloring of an undirected graph G is a proper vertex coloring of G (i.e., no two neighbors are assigned the same color) such that any path of length 3 in G is not bicolored. We give the exact value of the star chromatic number of different families of graphs such as trees, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, outerplanar gr...
