Every graph with no minor is -colorable

Michael Lafferty, Zi-Xia Song

Hadwiger's Conjecture from 1943 states that every graph with no minor is -colorable; it remains wide open for all . For positive integers and , let $\…

Properties of -contraction-critical graphs with no minor

Martin Rolek, Zi-Xia Song, Robin Thomas

Motivated by the famous Hadwiger's Conjecture, we study the properties of -contraction-critical graphs with no minor; we prove that every -contraction-critical graph wi…

A Note on Odd Colorings of 1-Planar Graphs

Daniel W. Cranston, Michael Lafferty, Zi-Xia Song

A proper coloring of a graph is odd if every non-isolated vertex has some color that appears an odd number of times on its neighborhood. This notion was recently introduced by Petr…

Yongxin Lan, Yongtang Shi, Zi-Xia Song

The planar Turán number of a graph , denoted , is the maximum number of edges in a planar graph on vertices without containing as a subgraph. Thi…
