Bodlaender’s Theorem states that for every k there is a linear-time algorithm that decides whether an input graph has tree width k and, if so, computes a width-k tree compositio...
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

We introduce a probabilistic formalism subsuming Markov random fields of bounded tree width and probabilistic context free grammars. Our models are based on a representation of Bo...

We present a CNF to Tree-of-BDDs (ToB) compiler with complexity at most exponential in the tree width. We then present algorithms for interesting queries on ToB. Although some of ...

We propose a new parameter for the complexity of finite directed graphs which measures to what extent the cycles of the graph are intertwined. This measure, called entanglement, i...
This paper presents a complete (infinite) axiomatization for an algebraic construction of graphs, in which a finite fragment denotes the class of graphs with bounded tree width.
The tree width of a graph G measures how close G is to being a tree or a series-parallel graph. Many well-known problems that are otherwise NP-complete can be solved efficiently if...
