Bad news for chordal partitions
Reed and Seymour [1998] asked whether every graph has a partition into induced connected non-empty bipartite subgraphs such that the quotient graph is chordal. If true, this would have significant ramifications for Hadwiger’s Conjecture. We prove that the answer is ‘no’. In fact, we show that the an...

| 要約: | Reed and Seymour [1998] asked whether every graph has a partition into induced connected non-empty bipartite subgraphs such that the quotient graph is chordal.
