Consider a graph G with an assignment of costs to vertices. Even if G and all its subgraphs admit balanced separators of sublinear size , G may only admit a balanced separator of sublinear cost after deleting a small set Z of exceptional vertices. We improve the bound on ∣ Z ∣ from O ( log ∣ V ( G ) ∣ ) to O ( log log … log ∣ V ( G ) ∣ ) , for any fixed number of iterations of the logarithm.
