Searching for optimal caterpillars in general and bounded treewidth graphs

In this thesis we are interested in optimization problems on caterpillar trees. A caterpillar is a tree with this property that if one removes its leaves only a path is left. The majority of this thesis is devoted to studying the Minimum Spanning Caterpillar Problem (MSCP). An instance of the MSCP i...
