Abstract

We describe a Win/Win algorithm that produces in time polynomial in the size of a graph \(G \) and a given parameter \(k \) either a spanning tree with at least \(k+1 \) leaves or a path decomposition of width at most \(k \). This algorithm is optimal due to the path decomposition theorem.
