Abstract
A clock is a graph consisting of an induced cycle and a vertex not in with at least two non-adjacent neighbours in . We show that every clock-free graph of large treewidth contains a “basic obstruction” of large treewidth as an induced subgraph: a complete graph, a subdivision of a wall, or the line graph of a subdivision of a wall.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Combinatorics is a high standard, international, bimonthly journal of pure mathematics, specializing in theories arising from combinatorial problems. The journal is primarily open to papers dealing with mathematical structures within combinatorics and/or establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics and the theories of computing. The journal includes full-length research papers on important topics.
