Size of forbidden minors for treewidth

For any $k$, the class of graphs of treewidth at most $k$ can be characterized by a finite set of forbidden minors. For treewidth $1$ and $2$, the set is of size $1$. Then for treewidth $3$, the set ...

Is there a polynomial-time algorithm to check if a signed graph contains an odd-K5 minor?

I suspect this exists, if anyone has a reference please that would be very helpful. By signed graph, I mean each edge is designated either odd or even (e.g. as in Guenin's result for weakly bipartite ...

What is the relation between size of maximum clique and branchwidth?

Let $bw(G)$ be the branchwidth of graph $G$ and $\omega(G)$ be the size of maximum clique in $G$. I think the following inequality holds: $$ \omega(G)\leq bw(G) $$ Intuition: Assume (in reverse of ...
