Every graph with no $\mathcal{K}_9^{-6}$ minor is $8$-colorable
For positive integers $t$ and $s$, let $\mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$ denote the family of graphs obtained from the complete graph $K_t$ by removing $s$ edges. A graph $G$ has no $\mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$ minor if it has no $H$ minor for every $H\in \mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$. Motivated by the famous Hadwiger's Conj...

Zusammenfassung: | For positive integers $t$ and $s$, let $\mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$ denote the family
of graphs obtained from the complete graph $K_t$ by removing $s$ edges. A graph
$G$ has no $\mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$ minor if it has no $H$ minor for every $H\in
\mathcal{K}_t^{-s}$. Motivated by the famous Hadwiger's Conjecture, Jakobsen in
1971 proved that every graph with no $\mathcal{K}_7^{-2}$ minor is
$6$-colorable; very recently the present authors proved that every graph with
no $\mathcal{K}_8^{-4}$ minor is $7$-colorable. In this paper we continue our
work and prove that every graph with no $\mathcal{K}_9^{-6}$ minor is
$8$-colorable. Our result implies that $H$-Hadwiger's Conjecture, suggested by
Paul Seymour in 2017, is true for all graphs $H$ on nine vertices such that $H$
is a subgraph of every graph in $ \mathcal{K}_9^{-6}$. |
