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,

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
