## Abstract We are interested in the relation between the pathwidth of a biconnected outerplanar graph and the pathwidth of its (geometric) dual. Bodlaender and Fomin [3], after having proved that the pathwidth of every biconnected outerplanar graph is always at most twice the pathwidth of its (geo

## Abstract The __chordality__ of a graph __G__ = (__V, E__) is defined as the minimum __k__ such that we can write __E__ = __E__~1~ β© β¦ β© __E__~__k__~ with each (__V, E__~__i__~) a chordal graph. We present several results bounding the value of this generalization of boxicity. Our principal result
The interval number of a (simple, undirected) graph G is the least positive integer t such that G is the intersection graph of sets, each of which is the union of t real intervals. A chordal (or triangulated) graph is one with no induced cycles on 4 or more vertices. If G is chordal and has maximum
## Abstract Let __G__ be a 3βconnected planar graph and __G__^\*^ be its dual. We show that the pathwidth of __G__^\*^ is at most 6 times the pathwidth of __G__. We prove this result by relating the pathwidth of a graph with the cutβwidth of its medial graph and we extend it to bounded genus embedd
