摘要:

本文证明了平面图有有界的连通数,从而证明了Heath,Leighton和Rosenberg在1992年提出的一个猜想。证明的关键是一个新的结构工具,称为分层划分,结果是,每个平面图有一个顶点划分和分层,使得每个部分有一个有界数量的顶点在每一层,商图有界树宽。这一结果推广有界欧拉亏格的图。此外,我们证明了在一个小闭类中的每个图都有这样一个分层划分当且仅当该类不包括某个顶点图。在此基础上,利用图的次结构定理,我们证明了每一个真次闭图类都有有界次闭数。分层分区与其他主题有很强的联系,包括以下两个示例。首先,它们可以被解释为强大的产品。我们证明了每个平面图都是路与某个有界树宽图的强积的子图。类似的陈述适用于所有真次闭类。其次,我们给出了DeVos等人(2004)的结果的一个简单的证明,即在一个适当的小闭类中的图具有低树宽着色。

英文摘要:

We show that planar graphs have bounded queue-number, thus proving a conjecture of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg from 1992. The key to the proof is a new structural tool called layered partitions, and the result that every planar graph has a vertex-partition and a layering, such that each part has a bounded number of vertices in each layer, and the quotient graph has bounded treewidth. This result generalises for graphs of bounded Euler genus. Moreover, we prove that every graph in a minor-closed class has such a layered partition if and only if the class excludes some apex graph. Building on this work and using the graph minor structure theorem, we prove that every proper minor-closed class of graphs has bounded queue-number. Layered partitions have strong connections to other topics, including the following two examples. First, they can be interpreted in terms of strong products. We show that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path with some graph of bounded treewidth. Similar statements hold for all proper minor-closed classes. Second, we give a simple proof of the result by DeVos et al. (2004) that graphs in a proper minor-closed class have low treewidth colourings.
