摘要
The clique-width (cwd) is an invariant of graphs which, similar to other invariants like the tree-width (twd) establishes a parameter for the complexity of a problem. For example, several problems with bounded clique-width can be solved in polynomial time. There is a well known relation between tree-width and clique-width denoted as cwd(G) <= 3 center dot 2(twd(G)-1). Serial-parallel graphs have tree-width of at most 2, so its clique-width is at most 6 according to the previous relation. In this paper, we improve the bound for this particular case, showing that the clique-width of series-parallel graphs is smaller or equal to 5.
