Hypertree width and related hypergraph invariants

We study the notion of hypertree-width of hypergraphs. ...
We prove that, up to a constant factor, hypertree-width is the same as a number of other hypergraph invariants that resemble graph invariants such as bramble-number, branchwidth, linkedness, and the minimum ...
In this paper, we prove that the invariants hypertree-width, generalized hypertree-width, minimum number of marshals with a monotone winning strategy, and minimum number of marshals with a winning strategy ...
