Woodall–Seymour bipartite minor conjecture
Let be a finite simple graph, and let denote its chromatic number. For positive integers with , let be the complete bipartite graph with parts of those sizes. Woodall–Seymour's conjecture. Every graph contains as a minor for any positive integer with . This is a weakening of Hadwiger's conjecture; the source presents it as a proposed variant, without stating its resolution.
