treedepth – The tree-depth of a graph $G$ may be defined as the minimum height of a forest $F$ with the property that every edge of $G$ connects a pair of nodes that have an ancestor-descendant relationship to each other in $F$.
vertex integrity $k$ upper bounds treedepth by $\mathcal O(k)$ – First, treedepth removes vertices of the modulator, then it iterates through remaining components one by one.
distance to stars $k$ upper bounds treedepth by $\mathcal O(k)$ – First, treedepth removes vertices of the modulator, remainder has treedepth $2$
treedepth $k$ upper bounds diameter by $f(k)$ – An unbounded diameter implies the class contains paths as subgraphs. Minimum treedepth to embed a path of length $n$ in a treedepth tree is $\log n$.
