GROW 2022 - Book of Abstracts

The Workshop on Graph Classes, Optimization, and Width Parameters (GROW) series of workshops brings together experts in both theoretical and practical issues to design new strategies for dealing with intractable graph problems. Its 10th edition, GROW 2022, was hosted by the University of Primorska, Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, Koper, Slovenia, from September 19–22, 2022. The event was originally planned for September 2021, but it was decided to postpone it for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision allowed to reduce the risks of an outbreak that would reduce dramatically the participation and, eventually, lead to a fully in-person event, as in all previous editions. In this edition we enjoyed three distinguished keynote speakers: Marthe Bonamy, Bart M. P. Jansen and Bojan Mohar. We also had the pleasure to have a session to celebrate the work of Vadim Lozin because of his 60th birthday. This booklet contains the short abstracts of the keynote and contributed talks given at GROW 2022. Together with the Book of Open Problems, they provide a glimpse of the breadth and excellent scientific quality of the research presented during the event. Nevertheless, they do not show the enjoyment of taking part of GROW, a unique event to meet colleagues and discuss research in an enjoyable, fruitful atmosphere.
