Motivated by Hadwiger's conjecture, we say that a colouring of a graph is over-dominating if every vertex is joined to a vertex of each other colour and if, for each pair of colour classes C"1 and C"2, either C"1 has a vertex adjacent to all vertices in C"2 or C"2 has a vertex adjacent to all vertices in C"1. We show that a graph that has an over-dominating colouring with k colours has a complete minor of order at least 2k/3 and that this bound is essentially best possible. |
