Parameter: cutwidth

Definition:

The cutwidth of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that the vertices of $G$ can be arranged in a linear layout $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ in such a way that for every $i = 1, \ldots,n - 1$, there are at most $k$ edges with one endpoint in $\{v_1, \ldots, v_i\}$ and the other in ${v_{i+1}, \ldots, v_n\}$.
