Abstract

Cutwidth is a fundamental graph layout parameter. It generalises to hypergraphs in a natural way and has been studied in a wide range of contexts. For graphs it is known that for a fixed constant k there is a linear time algorithm that for any given G, decides whether G has cutwidth at most k and, in the case of a positive answer, outputs a corresponding linear arrangement. We show that such an algorithm also exists for hypergraphs.
