Grid-Like Minors<br />

We will therefore use grid-like minors instead of grids.<br />

Theorem.<br />

(Reed, Wood)<br />

Any graph G of tree-width ≥ k 5 contains two sets P,Q of disjoint paths<br />

such that their intersection graph I(P,Q) contains a K k -minor.<br />

Theorem. (K., Tazari 10)<br />

There is a constant c and a polynomial-time algorithm which, given a<br />

graph G with tw(G) > c · k 12 , computes a (topological) grid-like minor of<br />

order k in G.<br />

If we allow randomised algorithms we can reduce the tree-width to<br />

tw(G) > c ′ · l 5 to either<br />

• find a model of K l in G or<br />

• a (top.) grid-like minor (P,Q) of order l.
