Graphs of bounded VC-dimension have sub-linear twin-width, shown via a new contraction tool on neighborhood partitions, plus tighter bounds for interval graphs.
Incremental k-center clustering admits no better than 2-approximation even for non-polynomial algorithms, via a new lower-bound construction.
