Branch-decomposition - Relation To Treewidth

Relation To Treewidth

Branch-decompositions of graphs are closely related to tree decompositions, and branch-width is closely related to tree-width: the two quantities are always within a constant factor of each other. In particular, in the paper in which they introduced branch-width, Neil Robertson and Paul Seymour showed that for a graph G with tree-width k and branchwidth b > 1,
