Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter for finite graphs. It is an open problem to determine whether there is an $n$-vertex graph having twin-width at least $n/2$ (due to J. Ahn, K. Hendrey, D. Kim and S. Oum). In an earlier…
Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter based on the repeated contraction of near-twins. It has shown remarkable utility in algorithmic and structural graph theory, as well as in finite model theory -- particularly since…
The fascinating question of the maximum value of twin-width on planar graphs is nowadays not far from the final resolution; there is a lower bound of 7 coming from a construction by Kr\'al' and Lamaison [arXiv, September 2022], and an upper…
The structural parameter twin-width was introduced by Bonnet et al. in [FOCS 2020], and already this first paper included an asymptotic argument bounding the twin-width of planar graphs by a non-explicit constant. Quite recently, we have…
Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter with applications in algorithmics, combinatorics, and finite model theory. For graphs of bounded degree, finiteness of twin-width is preserved by quasi-isometry. Thus, through Cayley…
Twin-width is a structural width parameter introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e and Watrigant [FOCS 2020], and has interesting applications in the areas of logic on graphs and in parameterized algorithmics. Very briefly, the essence of…
Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'{e}, and Watrigant (2020) introduced the twin-width of a graph. We show that the twin-width of an $n$-vertex graph is less than $(n+\sqrt{n\ln n}+\sqrt{n}+2\ln n)/2$, and the twin-width of an $m$-edge graph for a…
For each $d\leq3$, we construct a finite set $F_d$ of multigraphs such that for each graph $H$ of girth at least $5$ obtained from a multigraph $G$ by subdividing each edge at least two times, $H$ has twin-width at most $d$ if and only if…
Twin-width is a newly introduced graph width parameter that aims at generalizing a wide range of "nicely structured" graph classes. In this work, we focus on obtaining good bounds on twin-width $\text{tww}(G)$ for graphs $G$ from a number…
The twin-width of a graph measures its distance to co-graphs and generalizes classical width concepts such as tree-width or rank-width. Since its introduction in 2020 (Bonnet et. al. 2020), a mass of new results has appeared relating twin…
Twin-width is a recently formulated graph and matrix invariant that intuitively quantifies how far a graph is from having the structural simplicity of a co-graph. Since its introduction in 2020, twin-width has received increasing attention…
We investigate the structure of graphs of twin-width at most $1$, and obtain the following results: - Graphs of twin-width at most $1$ are permutation graphs. In particular they have an intersection model and a linear structure. - There is…
Twin-width is a new parameter informally measuring how diverse are the neighbourhoods of the graph vertices, and it extends also to other binary relational structures, e.g. to digraphs and posets. It was introduced just very recently, in…
The problem of whether and how one can compute the twin-width of a graph -- along with an accompanying contraction sequence -- lies at the forefront of the area of algorithmic model theory. While significant effort has been aimed at…
Twin-width is a width parameter introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e and Watrigant [FOCS'20, JACM'22], which has many structural and algorithmic applications. We prove that the twin-width of every graph embeddable in a surface of Euler…
The approximate computation of twin-width has attracted significant attention already since the moment the parameter was introduced. A recently proposed approach (STACS 2024) towards obtaining a better understanding of this question is to…
Twin-width is a structural width parameter introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e and Watrigant [FOCS 2020]. Very briefly, its essence is a gradual reduction (a contraction sequence) of the given graph down to a single vertex while…
The graph invariant twin-width was recently introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e, and Watrigan. Problems expressible in first-order logic, which includes many prominent NP-hard problems, are tractable on graphs of bounded twin-width if a…
We show that determining if an $n$-vertex graph has twin-width at most 4 is NP-complete, and requires time $2^{\Omega(n/\log n)}$ unless the Exponential-Time Hypothesis fails. Along the way, we give an elementary proof that $n$-vertex…
Inspired by a width invariant on permutations defined by Guillemot and Marx, Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e, and Watrigant introduced the twin-width of graphs, which is a parameter describing its structural complexity. This invariant has been…
