Alon–Seymour–Thomas定理的乘积结构推广

组合数学 2024-11-05 v4

摘要

Alon、Seymour和Thomas [1990]证明,每个排除KtK_t作为次要的nn顶点图的树宽小于t3/2nt^{3/2}\sqrt{n}。Illingworth、Scott和Wood [2022]近期改进了该结果,表明每个此类图都是某个树宽为t2t-2的图的子图,其中每个顶点被一个阶为O(tn)O(\sqrt{tn})的完全图膨胀。通过解决Illingworth、Scott和Wood [2022]的一个开放问题,我们证明树宽界可降至44,同时保持阶为Ot(n)O_t(\sqrt{n})的膨胀。作为Lipton–Tarjan定理的推广,在平面图的情形下,我们表明树宽可进一步降至22,这是最优可能的。我们将该结果推广到K3,tK_{3,t}-次要自由图,其膨胀阶为O(tn)O(t\sqrt{n})。该情形包含了可嵌入任意固定曲面的图。
