We prove a duality theorem applicable to a a wide range of specialisations, as well as to some generalisations, of tangles in graphs. It generalises the classical tangle duality theorem of Robertson and Seymour, which says that every graph either has a large-order tangle or a certain low-width tree-decomposition witnessing that it cannot have such a tangle.Our result also yields duality theorems for profiles and for k-blocks. This solves a problem studied, but not solved, by Diestel and Oum and answers an earlier question of Carmesin, Diestel, Hamann and Hundertmark. arXiv:1605.09139v3 [math.CO]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
