众所周知,有n个顶点的平面图的分枝宽度/树宽有界于alphasqrt{n}。在……里面 在许多算法应用程序中,拥有一个 常数α上的小界。我们给出了一个证明 到目前为止,最好的上界是常数α。 特别是,对于树宽的情况,α<3.182 对于分支宽度的情况,α<2.122。我们的证据 是基于Alon的平面分离定理, Seymour&Thomas与图的某些极大极小定理 未成年人系列。基于这些界限,我们引入了一个新的 一种解决不同固定参数问题的方法 平面图。我们证明我们的方法提供了最好的 到目前为止,基本问题的指数加速 平面图的顶点覆盖、支配集、独立集 还有其他许多人。
It is known that a planar graph on n vertices has branch-width/tree-width bounded by alphasqrt{n}. In many algorithmic applications it is useful to have a small bound on the constant alpha. We give a proof of the best, so far, upper bound for the constant alpha. In particular, for the case of tree-width, alpha<3.182 and for the case of branch-width, alpha<2.122. Our proof is based on the planar separation theorem of Alon, Seymour & Thomas and some min-max theorem of the graph minors series. Based on these bounds we introduce a new method for solving different fixed parameter problems on planar graphs. We prove that our method provides the best so far exponential speed-up for fundamental problems on planar graphs like Vertex Cover, Dominating Set, Independent Set and many others.
