Chromatic Index Critical Graphs and Multigraphs - Grünewald (2000)   (Correct)

....critical multigraph is not # colorable. Another reason to be interested in non elementary critical graph is the computational complexity of finding the chromatic index of a given graph. As shown by Holyer [17] this problem is NP complete. On the other hand, Ho#man, Mitchem, and Schmeichel [16] gave an algorithm which decides in polynomial time, if a graph with maximum degree # contains a subgraph with n vertices and at least #n 2## 1 edges. Hence, the chromatic index of a graph G with fixed maximum degree # can be determined in polynomial time, if we know that G does not contain a ....

....the following conjecture by Seymour. Conjecture 5.1 ( 26] There is no planar non elementary critical graph. A proof of Seymour s conjecture would imply not only the four color theorem, but also the existence of a polynomial algorithm determining the chromatic index for any planar graph (see [16]) One more consequence would be that every planar graph with maximum degree at lest 6 is in class one. This weaker conjecture known as the planar graph conjecture was formulated by Vizing [31] in 1965 who also proved the case #(G) # 8. Hence, the two cases # = 6 and # = 7 remain open. In this ....

The Four Colour Theorem as a possible corollary of binomial.. - Matiyasevich (1998)   (5 citations)  (Correct)

....way of proving the Four Colour Theorem by taking advantage of recent progress in finding closed forms for binomial summations. 1 Introduction The famous Four Color Conjecture (4CC) has, as many other great problems have, numerous equivalent reformulations (see, for example, 4] 5] [6], 7] 8] 9] 10] 11] 13] 18] and further references in these papers) Now that we have the remarkable work of K. Appel, W. Haken and J. Koch [1, 2, 3] these reformulation can be viewed as corollaries of the Four Colour Theorem (4CT) Nevertheless, still there is some interest in such ....
