We mainly focus on directed graphs and their structure. In the context of a long open conjecture that bounds the monotonicity costs of a version of the directed cops and robber game, we introduce new width-measures based on directed separations that are closely related to DAG-width. We identify a tangle-like obstruction for which we prove a duality theorem. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas introduced the width measure directed treewidth as a generalisation of treewidth for directed graphs. We introduce a new width measure, the cyclewidth, which is parametrically equivalent to directed treewidth. Making use of the connection between directed graphs and bipartite graphs with perfect matchings we characterise the digraphs of low cyclewidth. Generalising the seminal work by Robertson and Seymour resulting in a global structure theorem for undirected graphs, there is the goal of obtaining a structure theorem, based on directed treewidth, describing the structure of the directed graphs excluding a fixed butterfly minor. Working in this direction we present a new flat wall theorem for directed graphs which we believe to provide a better base for a directed structure theorem than the existing ones. On undirected graphs we present several results on induced subgraphs in the graphs themselves or the square graph of their linegraph. These results range from general statements about all graphs to the consideration of specific graph classes such as the one with exactly two moplexes. In der vorliegenden Arbeit beschreiben wir Dualitäten in gerichteten sowie in ungerichteten Graphen basierend auf Konzepten wie Weiteparametern, Obstruktionen und Substrukturen. Der Hauptfokus der Arbeit liegt bei gerichteten Graphen und ihrer Struktur. Im Kontext einer lange offenen Vermutung, dass die Monotoniekosten einer Variante des Räuber und Gendarm Spiels für gerichtete Graphen beschränkt sind, führen wir neue Weiteparameter ein, die auf gerichteten Separationen basieren und eng mit DAG-Weite verwandt sind. Wir identifizieren Tangle-artige Obstruktionen zu diesen Weiteparametern und beweisen die Dualität zwischen diesen beiden Konzepten. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour und Thomas haben die gerichtete Baumweite als gerichtete Verallgemeinerung der Baumweite auf ungerichteten Graphen eingeführt. Wir führen einen neuen Weiteparameter, die Cyclewidth, ein, der parametrisch equivalent zur gerichteten Baumweite ist. Unter Nutzung der Verwandtschaft von gerichteten Graphen und bipartiten Graphen mit perfekten Matchings charakterisieren wir die gerichteten Graphen mit kleiner Cyclewidth. Ein einschlagendes Ergebnis in der Graphenstrukturtheorie ist das Strukturtheorem von Robertson und Seymour. Basierend darauf gibt es Anstrengungen ein solches Strukturtheorem auch für gerichtete Graphen zu finden und dafür die gerichtete Baumweite als Grundlage zu nutzen. Dieses Theorem soll die Struktur aller gerichteten Graphen beschreiben, die einen festen gerichteten Graphen als Butterflyminoren ausschließen. In diesem Kontext beweisen wir ein neues Flat-wall-theorem für gerichtete Graphen, dass unserer Erwartung nach eine bessere Basis für ein gerichtetes Strukturtheorem bietet als die bisher betrachteten Alternativen. Auf ungerichteten Graphen präsentieren wir einige Ergebnisse bezüglich induzierten Subgraphen in gegebenen Graphen oder ihren Linegraphen. Diese Ergebnisse reichen von der Betrachtung spezifischer Graphklassen, wie den Graphen mit zwei Moplexen, bis zu Ergebnissen auf der allgemeinen Klasse aller Graphen.
