VENUE: | Vienna University of Technology, EI 9 Hlawka Hörsaal (Gußhausstrasse 25-29, ground floor) |
ABSTRACT
A protrusion in a graph is a subgraph of constant treewidth that can be separated from the graph by removing a constant number of vertices. We discuss combinatorial properties of graphs implying existence of large protrusions and give a number of algorithmic applications of protrusions.
