Graph bandwidthIn graph theory, the graph bandwidth problem is to label the n vertices v_i of a graph G with distinct integers f(v_i) so that the quantity is minimized (E is the edge set of G). The problem may be visualized as placing the vertices of a graph at distinct integer points along the x-axis so that the length of the longest edge is minimized. Such placement is called linear graph arrangement, linear graph layout or linear graph placement. The weighted graph bandwidth problem is a generalization wherein the edges are assigned weights w_ij and the cost function to be minimized is .
PathwidthIn graph theory, a path decomposition of a graph G is, informally, a representation of G as a "thickened" path graph, and the pathwidth of G is a number that measures how much the path was thickened to form G. More formally, a path-decomposition is a sequence of subsets of vertices of G such that the endpoints of each edge appear in one of the subsets and such that each vertex appears in a contiguous subsequence of the subsets, and the pathwidth is one less than the size of the largest set in such a decomposition.
Graphe cheminIn the mathematical field of graph theory, a path graph (or linear graph) is a graph whose vertices can be listed in the order v_1, v_2, ..., v_n such that the edges are {v_i, v_i+1} where i = 1, 2, ..., n − 1. Equivalently, a path with at least two vertices is connected and has two terminal vertices (vertices that have degree 1), while all others (if any) have degree 2. Paths are often important in their role as subgraphs of other graphs, in which case they are called paths in that graph.
Largeur arborescenteEn théorie des graphes et en informatique théorique, la largeur arborescente ou largeur d'arbre d'un graphe (treewidth en anglais) est un nombre qui, intuitivement, mesure s'il est proche d'un arbre. Elle peut être définie de plusieurs manières, notamment en utilisant la décomposition arborescente. Souvent, un problème algorithmique facile sur les arbres est en fait facile pour les graphes qui ressemblent à des arbres. Ainsi, ce paramètre est souvent utilisé en algorithmique de graphes, notamment pour les schémas d'approximation polynomiaux et complexité paramétrée.
