Hadwiger's conjecture

P Seymour - Open problems in mathematics, 2016 - Springer
This is a survey of Hadwiger's conjecture from 1943, that for all t≥ 0, every graph either can
be t-coloured, or has a subgraph that can be contracted to the complete graph on t+ 1 …

Planarity allowing few error vertices in linear time

K Kawarabayashi - 2009 50th Annual IEEE Symposium on …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We show that for every fixed k, there is a linear time algorithm that decides whether or not a
given graph has a vertex set X of order at most k such that GX is planar (we call this class of …

Linear min-max relation between the treewidth of H-minor-free graphs and its largest grid

K Kawarabayashi, Y Kobayashi - STACS'12 (29th Symposium on …, 2012 - hal.science
A key theorem in algorithmic graph-minor theory is a min-max relation between the treewidth
of a graph and its largest grid minor. This min-max relation is a keystone of the Graph Minor …

A simpler algorithm and shorter proof for the graph minor decomposition

K Kawarabayashi, P Wollan - Proceedings of the forty-third annual ACM …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
At the core of the Robertson-Seymour theory of graph minors lies a powerful decomposition
theorem which captures, for any fixed graph H, the common structural features of all the …

Optimal 1-planar multigraphs

K Sone, Y Suzuki - Discrete Mathematics, 2023 - Elsevier
In this paper, we consider optimal 1-planar multigraphs, that is, n-vertex multigraph having
exactly 4 n− 8 edges and a drawing on the sphere such that each edge crosses at most one …

Hadwiger's conjecture is decidable

K Kawarabayashi, B Reed - Proceedings of the forty-first annual ACM …, 2009 - dl.acm.org
The famous Hadwiger's conjecture asserts that every graph with no Kt-minor is (t-1)-
colorable. The case t= 5 is known to be equivalent to the Four Color Theorem by Wagner …

Linear min-max relation between the treewidth of an H-minor-free graph and its largest grid minor

K Kawarabayashi, Y Kobayashi - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2020 - Elsevier
A key theorem in algorithmic graph-minor theory is a min-max relation between the treewidth
of a graph (ie, the minimum width of a tree-decomposition) and the maximum size of a grid …
