• 1986 Graph minors. II. Algorithmic aspects of tree-width by Robertson, Seymour
  • page 1 : treewidth – A \emph{tree-decomposition} of $G$ is a family $(X_i \colon i\in I)$ of subsets of $V(G)$, together with a tree $T$ with $V(T)=I$, with the following properties. (W1) $\bigcup(X_i \colon i \in I)=V(G)$. (W2) Every edge of $G$ has both its ends in some $X_i$ ($i \in I$). (W3) For $i,j,k \in I$, if $j$ lies on the path of $T$ from $i$ to $k$ then $X_i \cap X_k \subseteq X_j$. The \emph{width} of the tree-decomposition is $\max(|X_i|-1 \colon i \in I)$. The tree-width of $G$ is the minimum $w \ge 0$ such that $G$ has a tree-decomposition of width $\le w$.
  • page 1 : treewidth – Equivalently, the tree-width of $G$ is the minimum $w \ge 0$ such that $G$ is a subgraph of a ``chordal’’ graph with all cliques of size at most $w + 1$.

  • treewidth – Very roughly, treewidth captures how similar a graph is to a tree. There are many ways to define ``tree-likeness’’ of a graph; … it appears that the approach most useful from algorithmic and graph theoretical perspectives, is to view tree-likeness of a graph $G$ as the existence of a structural decomposition of $G$ into pieces of bounded size that are connected in a tree-like fashion. This intuitive concept is formalized via the notions of a tree decomposition and the treewidth of a graph; the latter is a quantitative measure of how good a tree decomposition we can possibly obtain.
