Answering a question of Geelen, Gerards, Robertson and Whittle, we prove that the branchwidth of a bridgeless graph is equal to the branch- width of its cycle matroid. Our proof is based on branch-decompositions of hypergraph.

Adapting the method introduced in Graph Minors X, we propose a new proof of the duality between the bramble number of a graph and its tree-width. Our approach is based on a new definition of submodularity on partition functions which naturally extends the usual one on set functions. The proof does not rely on Menger's theorem, and thus...

During the last decades, several polynomial-time algorithms have been designed that decide whether a graph has tree-width (resp., path-width, branch-width, etc.) at most k, where k is a fixed parameter. Amini et al. (Discrete Mathematics'09) use the notions of partitioning-trees and partition functions as a generalized view of classical...
