Talk:Five Color Theorem

I'm working on it... First, I have to build up some other graph theory proofs. -Dan

Is there a simple proof that two colors suffice for painting segments on a line? This is a one-dimension counterpart to the four color theorem -Matfan

Good question - care to craft one? --prime mover (talk) 22:22, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


Motivation for the recent edit:

  • induced subgraph implies that the edges between vertices are preserved. No need to specify.
  • although walk is acceptable here, path is more strict (and more in spirit with common proofs of this theorem)
