The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph $G$ is equivalent to…

In the field of parameterized complexity theory, the study of graph width measures has been intimately connected with the development of width-based model checking algorithms for combinatorial properties on graphs. In this work, we…

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…

Treewidth is an important graph invariant, relevant for both structural and algorithmic reasons. A necessary condition for a graph class to have bounded treewidth is the absence of large cliques. We study graph classes closed under taking…

In this paper, we will develop a significantly more general notion of classical Ramsey numbers (extending most other graph-theoretic generalizations) and make some preliminary characterizations of these new Ramsey numbers using simple…

Consider a graph with n nodes and m edges, independent edge weights and lengths, and arbitrary distance demands for node pairs. The spanner problem asks for a minimum-weight subgraph that satisfies these demands via sufficiently short paths…

Let $B_k$ denote a book on $k+2$ vertices and $tB_k$ be $t$ vertex-disjoint $B_k$'s. Let $G$ be a connected graph with $n$ vertices and at most $n(1+\epsilon)$ edges, where $\epsilon$ is a constant depending on $k$ and $t$. In this paper,…

Cliquewidth is a dense analogue of treewidth. It can be deduced from recent results by Hickingbotham [arXiv:2501.10840] and Nguyen, Scott, and Seymour [arXiv:2501.09839] that graphs of bounded cliquewidth are quasi-isometric to graphs of…

We present a new notion of limits of weighted directed graphs of growing size based on convergence of their random quotients. These limits are specified in terms of random exchangeable measures on the unit square. We call our limits…

The planar rigidity problem asks, given a set of m pairwise distances among a set P of n unknown points, whether it is possible to reconstruct P, up to a finite set of possibilities (modulo rigid motions of the plane). The celebrated…

Treewidth is a graph parameter of fundamental importance to algorithmic and structural graph theory. This paper surveys several graph parameters tied to treewidth, including separation number, tangle number, well-linked number and Cartesian…

We estimate the Ramsey number r(T) = r(T,T) for various trees T, obtaining a precise value for r(T) for a large number of trees of diameter 3. Furthermore we prove that all trees of diameter 3 are Ramsey unsaturated as defined by Balister,…

Many hard graph problems can be solved efficiently when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth, and more generally to graphs of bounded clique-width. But there is a price to be paid for this generality, exemplified by the four problems…

A fundamental problem in Ramsey theory is to determine the growth rate in terms of $n$ of the Ramsey number $r(H, K_n^{(3)})$ of a fixed $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ versus the complete $3$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices. We study this…
