论文摘要
所有偶数图的类别的类都具有无界的树宽,因为它包含所有完整的图形。最近,构建了一类(均匀,$ k_4 $) - 构建了免费图形,它仍然具有无界的树宽度[Sintiari and Trotignon,2019年]。该类具有无界度,并包含任意大的集团罚款。我们问这是否有必要。 我们证明,对于每个图$ g $,如果$ g $不包括固定的图$ h $作为未成年人,则$ g $具有小树宽,或$ g $包含一个大墙,或者是大墙的线图,如诱导的子图片。这可以看作是罗伯逊(Robertson)和西摩(Seymour)对少量图案的排除网格定理的加强。我们的定理意味着,每个类别的无孔图都不包括固定图作为未成年人都具有有界的树宽。实际上,我们的定理适用于更一般的类:( theta,prism) - 无图形。这意味着已知的结果,即使平面甚至无孔的图具有有限的树宽度[Da Silva和Linhares销售,离散应用数学2010]。 我们猜想,有界程度的均匀图具有有限的树宽度。如果是真的,这意味着在属性测试的有限度图模型中可以测试甚至可以测试。我们证明了亚地铁图的猜想,并在最多4个(孔,金字塔)的类别(偶数孔,金字塔)的类别的树宽度上给出了一个界限。
The class of all even-hole-free graphs has unbounded tree-width, as it contains all complete graphs. Recently, a class of (even-hole, $K_4$)-free graphs was constructed, that still has unbounded tree-width [Sintiari and Trotignon, 2019]. The class has unbounded degree and contains arbitrarily large clique-minors. We ask whether this is necessary. We prove that for every graph $G$, if $G$ excludes a fixed graph $H$ as a minor, then $G$ either has small tree-width, or $G$ contains a large wall or the line graph of a large wall as induced subgraph. This can be seen as a strengthening of Robertson and Seymour's excluded grid theorem for the case of minor-free graphs. Our theorem implies that every class of even-hole-free graphs excluding a fixed graph as a minor has bounded tree-width. In fact, our theorem applies to a more general class: (theta, prism)-free graphs. This implies the known result that planar even hole-free graph have bounded tree-width [da Silva and Linhares Sales, Discrete Applied Mathematics 2010]. We conjecture that even-hole-free graphs of bounded degree have bounded tree-width. If true, this would mean that even-hole-freeness is testable in the bounded-degree graph model of property testing. We prove the conjecture for subcubic graphs and we give a bound on the tree-width of the class of (even hole, pyramid)-free graphs of degree at most 4.
