Abstract

Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter for finite graphs. It is an open problem to determine whether there is an nn-vertex graph having twin-width at least n/2n/2 (due to J. Ahn, K. Hendrey, D. Kim and S. Oum). In an earlier paper, the author showed that such a graph with less than equal to 5 vertices does not exist. In this article, we show that such a graph with 6 vertices does not exist. More precisely, we prove that each graph with 6 vertices has twin-width less than equal to 2.
