Sintiari–Trotignon conjecture on treewidth of diamond-free even-hole-free graphs

About 4 years old · traced to

For a graph GG, let tw⁡(G)\operatorname{tw}(G) denote its treewidth. A graph is even-hole-free if it has no induced cycle of even length at least four, and the diamond is the graph on four vertices with five edges. Sintiari–Trotignon's conjecture. For every integer t≥1t\geq 1, there exists a constant ctc_t such that every even-hole-free graph GG with no induced diamond and no clique of size tt satisfies

tw⁡(G)≤ct.\operatorname{tw}(G)\leq c_t.

This conjecture was resolved in the cited work TWXI, so the asserted bounded-treewidth conclusion is now a theorem.
