In this paper, we characterise graphs that are quasi-isometric to graphs with bounded treewidth. Specifically, we prove that a graph is quasi-isometric to a graph with bounded treewidth if and only if it has a tree-decomposition where each bag consists of a bounded number of balls of bounded diameter. This result extends a characterisation by Berger and Seymour (2024) of graphs that are quasi-isometric to trees. Additionally, we characterise graphs that are quasi-isometric to graphs with bounded pathwidth and graphs that are quasi-isometric to graphs with bounded linewidth. As an application of these results, we show that graphs with bounded rank-width, graphs with bounded tree independence number, and graphs with bounded sim-width are quasi-isometric to graphs with bounded treewidth.

  1. Asymptotic structure. III. Excluding a fat tree

    math.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Any graph lacking a c-fat tree minor can be quasi-isometrically approximated by a graph with line-width bounded in terms of the tree and c.

  2. Optimal tree-decompositions with bags of bounded pathwidth

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Every planar graph admits an optimal tree-decomposition in which every bag induces a subgraph of pathwidth at most 3, with an O(k) bound on unions of k bags, and analogues for fixed-surface graphs.

  3. A coarse block-cut tree theorem

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Every graph admits a tree decomposition with small-diameter adhesion sets where same-bag vertices cannot be separated by small, distant vertex sets.
