Complete minors and average degree: A short proof
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a short and self-contained proof of the classical result Kostochka Thomason, ensuring that every graph average degree d $d$ has complete minor order Ω ( ∕ log ) ${\rm{\Omega }}(d\unicode{x02215}\sqrt{{\rm{log}}d})$ .

On Ks, t-minors in graphs with given average degree
Let D(H) be the minimum d such that every graph G with average degree d has an H-minor. Myers and Thomason found good bounds onD(H) for almost all graphsH and proved that for ‘balanced’H random graphs provide extremal examples and determine the extremal function. Examples of ‘unbalanced graphs’ are complete bipartite graphs Ks,t for a fixed s and large t. Myers proved upper bounds on D(Ks,t ) a...
متن کاملDisjoint Kr-minors in large graphs with given average degree
It is proved that there are functions f (r) and N(r, s) such that for every positive integer r , s, each graph G with average degree d(G) = 2|E(G)|/|V (G)| ≥ f (r), and with at least N(r, s) vertices has a minor isomorphic to Kr,s or to the union of s disjoint copies of Kr . © 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd
متن کاملGraph Minors and Minimum Degree
Let Dk be the class of graphs for which every minor has minimum degree at most k. Then Dk is closed under taking minors. By the Robertson-Seymour graph minor theorem, Dk is characterised by a finite family of minor-minimal forbidden graphs, which we denote by D̂k. This paper discusses D̂k and related topics. We obtain four main results: 1. We prove that every (k + 1)-regular graph with less than ...
متن کاملComplete Minors and Independence Number
Let G be a graph with n vertices and independence number α. Hadwiger’s conjecture implies that G contains a clique minor of order at least n/α. In 1982, Duchet and Meyniel proved that this bound holds within a factor 2. Our main result gives the first improvement on their bound by an absolute constant factor. We show that G contains a clique minor of order larger than .504n/α. We also prove rel...
متن کاملA SHORT PROOF OF A RESULT OF NAGEL
Let $(R,fm)$ be a Gorenstein local ring and$M,N$ be two finitely generated modules over $R$. Nagel proved that if $M$ and $N$ are inthe same even liaison class, thenone has $H^i_{fm}(M)cong H^i_{fm}(N)$ for all $iIn this paper, we provide a short proof to this result.
