Dujmović, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt and Wood [J. ACM 2020] proved that for every planar graph G there is a graph H with treewidth at most 8 and a path P such that G ⊆ H P . We improve this result by replacing “treewidth at most 8” by “simple treewidth at most 6”.

This work designs a labeling scheme with labels of bit length that generalizes to graphs of bounded Euler genus with the same label length up to a second-order term, improving the previous best upper bound of $n^{2+o(1)}$. Expand

Planar graphs have bounded nonrepetitive chromatic number
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• ArXiv
• 2019
It is shown that planar graphs have nonrepetitive colourings with a bounded number of colours, thus proving a conjecture of Alon, Grytczuk, Haluszczak and Riordan (2002), and this result is generalised for graphs of bounded Euler genus, graphs excluding a fixed minor, and graphsexcluding a fixed topological minor.
