We prove that a connected planar graph with $n$ vertices and $n+\mu$ edges has a vertex separator of size $O( \sqrt{\mu} + 1)$, and this separator can be computed in linear time.
Partitioning a graph using graph separators, and particularly clique separators, are well-known techniques to decompose a graph into smaller units which can be treated independently. It was previously known that the treewidth was bounded…
