Graph Minors and Minimum Degree [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2010
Let $\mathcal{D}_k$ be the class of graphs for which every minor has minimum degree at most $k$. Then $\mathcal{D}_k$ is closed under taking minors. By the Robertson-Seymour graph minor theorem, $\mathcal{D}_k$ is characterised by a finite family of minor-minimal forbidden graphs, which we denote by $\widehat{\mathcal{D}}_k$.

Tree-width of hypergraphs and surface duality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In Graph Minors III, Robertson and Seymour write: "It seems that the tree-width of a planar graph and the tree-width of its geometric dual are approximately equal - indeed, we have convinced ourselves that they differ by at most one".

Inverse Eigenvalue Problems for Two Special Acyclic Matrices

open access: yesMathematics, 2016
In this paper, we study two inverse eigenvalue problems (IEPs) of constructing two special acyclic matrices. The first problem involves the reconstruction of matrices whose graph is a path, from given information on one eigenvector of the required matrix

Characterization of the Existence of an N0-Completion of a Partial N0-Matrix with an Associated Directed Cycle

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
An n×n matrix is called an N0-matrix if all its specified principal minors are nonpositive. In the context of partial matrices, a partial matrix is called a partial N0-matrix if all its specified principal minors are nonpositive.

Deciding first-order properties of nowhere dense graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nowhere dense graph classes, introduced by Nesetril and Ossona de Mendez, form a large variety of classes of "sparse graphs" including the class of planar graphs, actually all classes with excluded minors, and also bounded degree graphs and graph classes

A Quasi-Polynomial Time Partition Oracle for Graphs with an Excluded Minor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Motivated by the problem of testing planarity and related properties, we study the problem of designing efficient {\em partition oracles}. A {\em partition oracle} is a procedure that, given access to the incidence lists representation of a bounded ...

Unavoidable Parallel Minors of 4-Connected Graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A parallel minor is obtained from a graph by any sequence of edge contractions and parallel edge deletions. We prove that, for any positive integer k, every internally 4-connected graph of sufficiently high order contains a parallel minor isomorphic to a

on the number of cliques and cycles in graphs [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions on Combinatorics, 2013
We give a new recursive method to compute the number of cliques and cycles of a graph. This method is related, respectively to the number of disjoint cliques in the complement graph and to the sum of permanent function over all principal minors of the ...

On the choosability of -minor-free graphs

open access: yesCombinatorics, Probability and Computing, 2023
AbstractGiven a graph $H$ , let us denote by $f_\chi (H)$ and $f_\ell (H)$ , respectively, the maximum chromatic number and the maximum list chromatic number of $H$ -minor-free graphs. Hadwiger’s famous colouring conjecture from 1943 states that $f_\chi (K_t)=t-1$ for every $t \ge 2$ .
