Displaying prescribed sets of ends by linked tree-decompositions

Combinatorics 2025-12-16 v1

Abstract

We show that if a subset Ψ\Psi of the ends of a graph GG can be displayed by a tree-decomposition of finite adhesion, then it can also be displayed by a linked such tree-decomposition. This tree-decomposition captures all combinatorial information of the ends in Ψ\Psi: their degrees, their sets of dominating vertices, and their combined degrees.
