Robertson and Seymour constructed for every graph G a tree-decomposition that efficiently distinguishes all the tangles in G. While all previous constructions of these decompositions are either iterative in nature or not canonical, we give an explicit one-step construction that is canonical.
The key ingredient is an axiomatisation of ‘local properties’ of tangles. Generalisations to locally finite graphs and matroids are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Theory publishes original mathematical research dealing with theoretical and physical aspects of the study of finite and discrete structures in all branches of science. Series B is concerned primarily with graph theory and matroid theory and is a valuable tool for mathematicians and computer scientists.
