Abstract

Recently Fomin, Heggernes and Telle [Algorithmica 41 (2004) 73] introduced the notion of the treespan of a graph as a natural extension of the well-known bandwidth. They motivate this new concept from different viewpoints involving graph searching, tree decompositions and elimination orderings. In the present paper we prove several lower bounds on the treespan.
