Graph Decompositions and Monadic Second Order Logic

A tree decomposition is a tool which allows for analysis of the underlying tree structure of graphs which are not trees. Given a class of graphs with bounded tree width, many NP-complete problems can be computed in linear time for graphs in the class. Clique width of a graph G is a measure of the nu...
