Abstract

We overview algorithmic results for classes of sparse graphs emphasizing new developments in this area. We focus on recently introduced classes of graphs with bounded expansion and nowhere-dense graphs and relate algorithmic meta-theorems for these classes of graphs to their analogues for proper minor-closed classes of graphs, classes of graphs with bounded tree-width, locally bounded tree-width and locally excluding a minor.
