Neumann–Lara–Škrekovski conjecture on the dichromatic number of planar graphs
Let be a planar graph, and let denote the maximum, over all orientations of , of the minimum number of acyclic colour classes in a vertex colouring. Neumann–Lara–Škrekovski conjecture. Every planar graph satisfies
This is the directed analogue of the Four-Colour Theorem and is equivalent, as stated in the source, to the assertion that every planar digraph is -colourable. The source does not provide evidence of a resolution.
