In this paper, we relate the seemingly unrelated concepts of treewidth and boxicity. Our main result is that, for any graph G, boxicity(G) <= treewidth(G) + 2. We also show that this upper bound is (almost) tight. Our result leads to…

For a graph $G$, its \emph{cubicity} $cub(G)$ is the minimum dimension $k$ such that $G$ is representable as the intersection graph of (axis--parallel) cubes in $k$--dimensional space. Chandran, Mannino and Oriolo showed that for a…
