Sep 16, 2010 at 14:06 comment added gphilip We can, in general, do better than $O(\sqrt{\log n})$ in approximating treewidth. The best polynomial-time approximation algorithm that I am aware of achieves an $O(\sqrt{\log w})$ approximation factor, where $w$ is the treewidth of the graph. See Feige, Hajiaghayi, and Lee, Improved approximation algorithms for minimum-weight vertex separators , STOC 2005.

Sep 16, 2010 at 2:37 comment added gphilip What is the $n$ mentioned in the approximation factor?
