Nonexistence of the specified planar semi-cover of
Nonexistence of the specified planar semi-cover of
Let be the complete multipartite graph with parts of sizes . A planar semi-cover is the planar graph notion defined in the source, and let be the subgraph required to satisfy the conditions listed in Lemma
. **Nonexistence conjecture.** There is no planar semi-cover $G'$ of $K_{1,2, 2, 2}$ having the properties listed in Lemma.
The source presents this as a strengthening of Negami's conjecture and aims to prove it as part of the analysis of possible planar covers of . The supplied text does not establish the claim, so its resolution is left open.
