The Product Structure Theorem

by Torsten Ueckerdt

Abstract:

Recently discovered, the product structure theorem states that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph of treewidth 8. In this talk we introduce and prove the theorem, as well as discuss a few of its numerous applications, and finally some extensions.

This is joint work with Vida Dujmović, Gwenaël Joret, Piotr Micek, Pat Morin, and David R. Wood.
