Graph thinness: a lower bound and complexity

From MaRDI portal





The idea of $k$-thin graphs has emanated from applications to frequency assignment problems. The graphs considered by the author here are only undirected simple graphs. The goal of this article is to prove that graph thinness is NP complete and to show that there exist graphs with thinness $n -o(n)$ where $n$ refers to the number of vertices of $G$. The author achieves his goal by splitting the proof into several lemmas and also raises an open problem in the end by asking whether there exists a graph on $n$ vertices with thinness more than half of $n$.
