For a given graphGand integersb,f≥0, letSbe a subset of vertices ofGof sizeb+1 such that the subgraph ofGinduced bySis connected andScan be separated from other vertices ofGby removingfvertices. We prove that every graph onnvertices contains at mostsuch vertex subsets. This result from extremal combinatorics appears to be very useful in the design of several enumeration and exact algorithms. In particular, we use it to provide algorithms that for a givenn-vertex graphG•compute the treewidth ofGin timeO(1.7549n) by making use of exponential space and in timeO(2.6151n) and polynomial space•decide in timeO(n5·) if the treewidth ofGis at mostk•list all minimal separators ofGin timeO(1.6181n) and all potential maximal cliques ofGin timeO(1.7549n).This significantly improves previous algorithms for these problems.
