Let k be a positive integer at least 2. A graph is k-critical if it can be colored in no fewer than k colors and its proper subgraphs can be colored in fewer than k colors. T. Gallai asked whether a k-critical graph on n vertices contains n distinct (k−1)-critical subgraphs. This paper gives an affirmative answer to Gallai's question restricted to 4-critical graphs by proving they contain at least 83n−293 odd cycles. |
