Tree Decompositions Meet Induced Matchings: Beyond Max Weight Independent Set

Authors: Paloma T. Lima, Martin Milanič, Peter Muršič, Karolina Okrasa, Paweł Rzążewski, and Kenny Štorgel

Abstract
For a tree decomposition 𝒯 of a graph G, by μ(𝒯) we denote the size of a largest induced matching in G all of whose edges intersect one bag of 𝒯. The induced matching treewidth of a graph G is the minimum value of μ(𝒯) over all tree decompositions 𝒯 of G. Yolov [SODA 2018] proved that for graphs of bounded induced matching treewidth, tree decompositions with bounded μ(𝒯) can be computed in polynomial time and Max Weight Independent Set can be solved in polynomial time. In this paper we explore what other problems are tractable in such classes of graphs. As our main result, we give a polynomial-time algorithm for Min Weight Feedback Vertex Set. We also provide some positive results concerning packing induced subgraphs, which in particular imply a PTAS for the problem of finding a largest induced subgraph of bounded treewidth. These results suggest that in graphs of bounded induced matching treewidth, one could find in polynomial time a maximum-weight induced subgraph of bounded treewidth satisfying a given CMSO₂ formula. We conjecture that such a result indeed holds and prove it for graphs of bounded tree-independence number, which form a rich and important family of subclasses of graphs of bounded induced matching treewidth. We complement these algorithmic results with a number of complexity and structural results concerning induced matching treewidth, including a linear relation to treewidth for graphs with bounded degree.

Twin-Width of Graphs on Surfaces

Authors: Daniel Kráľ, Kristýna Pekárková, and Kenny Štorgel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)

Abstract
Twin-width is a width parameter introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomassé and Watrigant [FOCS'20, JACM'22], which has many structural and algorithmic applications. Hliněný and Jedelský [ICALP'23] showed that every planar graph has twin-width at most 8. We prove that the twin-width of every graph embeddable in a surface of Euler genus g is at most 18√{47g} + O(1), which is asymptotically best possible as it asymptotically differs from the lower bound by a constant multiplicative factor. Our proof also yields a quadratic time algorithm to find a corresponding contraction sequence. To prove the upper bound on twin-width of graphs embeddable in surfaces, we provide a stronger version of the Product Structure Theorem for graphs of Euler genus g that asserts that every such graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph with a tree-decomposition with all bags of size at most eight with a single exceptional bag of size max{6, 32g-37}.
