Minimal acyclic forbidden minors for the family of graphs with bounded path-width (Q1322236)

The authors characterize the minimal acyclic forbidden minors for the families \(F_ k\) and \(P_ k\) of graphs with path-width and proper path- width, respectively, at most \(k\). They also give estimates for the number of minimal forbidden minors for \(F_ k\) and \(P_ k\) and for the number of vertices in the largest minimal forbidden minors for \(F_ k\) and \(P_ k\).
