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 ...

Graph minor check
Are there any good algebraic/algorithmic tools available to check if a given graph $H$ is a minor of $G$ from the adjacency matrix of $G$?
