We consider the embeddability problem of a graph G into a two-dimensional simplicial complex C: Given G and C, decide whether G admits a topological embedding into C. The problem is NP-hard, even in the restricted case where C is homeomorphic to a surface. It is known that the problem admits an algorithm with running time f(c)n, where n is the size of the graph G and c is the size of the two-dimensional complex C. In other words, that algorithm is polynomial when C is fixed, but the degree of… Expand

An approximation algorithm for treewidth with time complexity suited to the running times of polynomial time is given, which shows that the existence of algorithms with similar running times is unlikely for the problems of finding the diameter and the radius of a graph of low Treewidth. Expand

A linear time algorithm is presented that for a given graph G either finds an embedding of G in S or identifies a subgraph of G that is homeomorphic to a minimal forbidden subgraph for embeddability in S that yields a constructive proof of the result of Robertson and Seymour that for each closed surface there are only finitely many minimal forbiddenSubgraphs.

A new combinatorial representation of an embedding which seems to lend itself to combinatorsial arguments for embedding of graphs on unoriented surfaces is introduced and it is shown that (generalized) genus is additive over edge (vertex) amalgams. Expand
Dynamic generators of topologically embedded graphs
This work provides a data structure for maintaining an embedding of a graph on a surface and computing generators of the fundamental group of the surface, in amortized time O(log n + log g(log log g)3) per update on asurface of genus g, and applies similar ideas to improve the constant factor in a separator theorem for low-genus graphs, and to find in linear time a tree-decomposition of low-generation low-diameter graphs.

The first polynomial relationship between treewidth and grid-minor size is obtained by showing that f(k) = Ω(kδ) for some fixed constant δ > 0, and an algorithm is described that finds a model of such a grid-Minor in G. Expand
