Crossing Number for Graphs with Bounded Pathwidth [PDF]
The crossing number is the smallest number of pairwise edge-crossings when drawing a graph into the plane. There are only very few graph classes for which the exact crossing number is known or for which there at least exist constant approximation ratios.

Experimental Evaluation of a Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for Computing Pathwidth and Directed Pathwidth [PDF]
Path decompositions of graphs are an important ingredient of dynamic programming algorithms for solving efficiently many NP-hard problems. Therefore, computing the pathwidth and associated path decomposition of graphs has both a theoretical and practical interest.

Constrained Connectivity in Bounded X-Width Multi-Interface Networks
As technology advances and the spreading of wireless devices grows, the establishment of interconnection networks is becoming crucial. Main activities that involve most of the people concern retrieving and sharing information from everywhere.

Treewidth and pathwidth of permutation graphs [PDF]
This paper is the first one in a series of articles using scanlines in intersection models of graphs. The new concept enables to prove that every minimal triangulation of a permutation graph into a chordal graph is an interval graph, a result that generalizes to minimal triangulations of asteroidal-triple free graphs [Discrete Appl. Math.

Linear Datalog and Bounded Path Duality of Relational Structures [PDF]

The discrete strategy improvement algorithm for parity games and complexity measures for directed graphs [PDF]
For some time the discrete strategy improvement algorithm due to Jurdzinski and Voge had been considered as a candidate for solving parity games in polynomial time.

FPT is Characterized by Useful Obstruction Sets [PDF]
Many graph problems were first shown to be fixed-parameter tractable using the results of Robertson and Seymour on graph minors. We show that the combination of finite, computable, obstruction sets and efficient order tests is not just one way of ...

Approximating Pathwidth for Graphs of Small Treewidth [PDF]
We describe a polynomial-time algorithm which, given a graphGwith treewidtht, approximates the pathwidth ofGto within a ratio of\(O(t\sqrt {\log t})\). This is the first algorithm to achieve anf(t)-approximation for some functionf.Our approach builds on the following key insight: every graph with large pathwidth has large treewidth or contains a ...

Approximation of pathwidth of outerplanar graphs [PDF]
Summary: There exists a polynomial time algorithm to compute the pathwidth of outerplanar graphs, but the large exponent makes this algorithm impractical. In this paper, we give an algorithm that, given a biconnected outerplanar graph \(G\), finds a path decomposition of \(G\) of pathwidth at most twice the pathwidth of \(G\) plus one.

Pathwidth of outerplanar graphs [PDF]
AbstractWe are interested in the relation between the pathwidth of a biconnected outerplanar graph and the pathwidth of its (geometric) dual. Bodlaender and Fomin [3], after having proved that the pathwidth of every biconnected outerplanar graph is always at most twice the pathwidth of its (geometric) dual plus two, conjectured that there exists a ...
