graph minor theorem


If (Gk)k is an infiniteMathworldPlanetmath sequence of finite graphs, then there exist two numbers m<n such that Gm is isomorphic to a minor of Gn.

This theoremMathworldPlanetmath is often referred to as the deepest result in graph theoryMathworldPlanetmath. It was proven by Robertson and Seymour in 1988 as the culminating result of a long series of articles, and the proof was recently published in the Journal of Combinatorial Theory series B. It resolves Wagner’s conjecture in the affirmative and leads to an important generalizationPlanetmathPlanetmath of Kuratowski’s theorem.

Specifically, to every set 𝒢 of finite graphs which is closed under taking minors (meaning if G𝒢 and H is isomorphic to a minor of G, then H𝒢) there exist finitely many graphs G1,,Gn such that 𝒢 consists precisely of those finite graphs that do not have a minor isomorphic to one of the Gi. The graphs G1,,Gn are often referred to as the forbidden minors for the class 𝒢.
