| Description | The fascinating question of the maximum value of twin-width on planar graphs is nowadays not far from a final resolution; there is a lower bound of coming from a construction by Král‘ and Lamaison [arXiv, September 2022], and an upper bound of by Hliněný and Jedelský [arXiv, October 2022]. The upper bound (currently best) of 7, however, is rather complicated and involved. We give a short and simple self-contained proof that the twin-width of planar graphs is at most 11. |
