Treewidth of the Line Graph of Complete and Complete Multipartite Graphs

Daniel J. Harvey, David R. Wood

Published 2012-10-31, updated 2014-08-01Version 2

In recent papers by Grohe and Marx, the treewidth of the line graph of the complete graph is a critical example. We determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of the complete graph. By extending these techniques, we determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of a regular complete multipartite graph. For an arbitrary complete multipartite graph, we determine the treewidth of the line graph up to a lower order term.
