Abstract

We provide new combinatorial theorems on the structure of graphs that are contained as contractions in graphs of large treewidth. As a consequence of our combinatorial results we unify and significantly simplify contraction bidimensionality theory-the meta algorithmic framework to design efficient parameterized and approximation algorithms for contraction closed parameters.
