Abstract:
We say that a graph G has an odd K4-subdivision if some subgraph of G is isomorphic to a K4-subdivision which if embedded in the plane the boundary of each of its faces has odd length and is an induced cycle of G. For a number (formula presented), let Gl denote the family of graphs which have girth 2l + 1 and have no odd hole with length greater than (formula presented). Wu, Xu and Xu conjectured that every graph in (formula presented)fo is 3-colorable. Recently, Chudnovsky et al. and Wu et al., respectively, proved that every graph in G2 and G3 is 3-colorable. In this paper, we prove that no 4-vertex-critical graph in(formula presented) has an odd K4-subdivision. Using this result, Chen proved that all graphs in(formula presented) are 3-colorable. © The authors.
