Graph minors. X. Obstructions to tree-decomposition
Graphs in this paper are finite and undirected and may have loops or multiple edges. The vertexand edge-sets of a graph G are denoted by V(G) and E(G). If G, = ( V1, E,), G2 = ( V2, E2) are subgraphs of a graph G, we denote the graphs (V1n V2,E1nE,) and (V,u V2, EluEZ) by G,nG, and G, u GZ, respectively. A separation of a graph G is a pair (G,, G2) of subgraphs with G1 u G2 = G and E(G1 n G2) =...
متن کاملSimplicial Decompositions, Tree-decompositions and Graph Minors
The concepts of simplicial decompositions, tree-decompositions and simplicial tree-decompositions were all inspired by a common forerunner: the decompositions of finite graphs used by K. Wagner in his classic paper [ 13 ], in which he proved the equivalence of the 4-Colour-Conjecture to Hadwiger’s Conjecture for n = 5. To show that the 4CC implies Hadwiger’s Conjecture (for n = 5), Wagner used ...
متن کاملTopological Obstructions to Graph Colorings
For any two graphs G and H Lovász has defined a cell complex Hom (G,H) having in mind the general program that the algebraic invariants of these complexes should provide obstructions to graph colorings. Here we announce the proof of a conjecture of Lovász concerning these complexes with G a cycle of odd length. More specifically, we show that If Hom (C2r+1, G) is k-connected, then χ(G) ≥ k + 4....
متن کاملGraph minors. IV. Tree-width and well-quasi-ordering
K. Wagner conjectured that if G1, GZ, .,. is any countable sequence of finite graphs, then there exist i, j with j> i> 1 such that Gi is isomorphic to a minor of G,. Kruskal proved this when G1, G2, . . . are all trees. We prove a strengthening of Kruskal’s result-Wagner’s conjecture is true for all sequences in which G1 is planar. We hope to show in a future paper that Wagner’s conjecture is t...
متن کاملGraph Minors
For a given graph G and integers b, f ≥ 0, let S be a subset of vertices of G of size b + 1 such that the subgraph of G induced by S is connected and S can be separated from other vertices of G by removing f vertices. We prove that every graph on n vertices contains at most n/ b+f b such vertex subsets. This result from extremal combinatorics appears to be very useful in the design of several e...
