Abstract

The $\mathcal{G}$-width of a class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ is defined as follows. A graph G has $\mathcal{G}$-width k if there are k independent sets $\mathbb{N}_1,\dots,\mathbb{N}_{\rm \tt k}$ in G such that G can be embedded into a graph ${\rm H \in \mathcal{G}}$ such that for every edge e in H which is not an edge in G , there exists an i such that both endpoints of e are in ***i . For the class $\mathfrak{B}$ of block graphs we show that $\mathfrak{B}$-width is NP-complete and we present fixed-parameter algorithms.
