Description of the project:
The combination of methods from logic and graph theory has been extremely successful in the design of algorithms, in complexity theory, and other areas of theoretical computer science. An example result in this area states that every graph property definable in first-order logic can be decided in linear time (that is, very efficiently) on planar graphs. The goal of the project is to develop a structural theory of graph classes that enjoy similar algorithmic, combinatorial and logical properties. See for more details.
