Hadwiger's well known conjecture (see the survey of Toft [9]) states that any graph $G$ has a $K_{\chi(G)}$ minor, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$. Let $\alpha(G)$ denote the independence (or stability) number of $G$, namely the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices in $G$. It was observed in [1], [4], [10] that via the inequality $\chi(G)\ge {|V(G)|\over \alpha(G)}$, Hadwiger's conjecture implies |
