Abstract

We give counter-examples to the following conjecture which arose in the study of small bandwidth graphs. “For a graph G, suppose that |V(G')|≤ 1 + c1 diameter (G') for any connected subgraph G' of G, and that G does not contain any refinement of the complete binary tree of c2 levels. Is it true that the bandwidth of G can be bounded above by a constant c depending only on c1and c2?” On the other hand, we show that if the maximum degree of G is bounded and G does not contain any refinement of a complete binary tree of a specified size, then the cutwidth and the topological bandwidth of G are also bounded.
