Gate matrix layout is an NP-complete combinatorial problem. The related fixed-parameter decision problem has been thoroughly studied for small values of k in recent years. We chose to investigate a more difficult circular version of the fixed-parameter decision problem. We have identified a major group of obstructions to the circular 3-track layout problem. These obstructions all contain a bridge which separates sufficiently large subgraphs; they are called the bridge obstructions. The complete set of circular-3-GML bridge obstructions contains 336 graphs.
